when they announced that the piratebay founders were sentenced i felt really over-whelmed, frustrated, moved and angry towards the collective corporate label / copyright machine. then the CEO of the creative advertising agency where i work cooled me off a bit with a reminder. “think about all the families that will lose their source of income, because virgin megastore assistants became redundant”.
of course we cannot change the corporate music / video / conten distribution machine overnight. but trying so hard to hold the card house walls against the wind of free share distribution?… well wake up to reality! start making steps. give music lovers access to something like Oink or TBP for a flat fee and the users will be more than glad to pay. like rob sheridan advises.
at least i am glad to feel over-extatic about the baby steps the society does towards the new world, towards the lite socialism of the electrons. this is only one seat that the swedish pirate party won in the European Parliament elections 2009. but one vote matters - as they keep saying to us in the election campaigns.
maybe this me being a classic Aquarius guy who is said to be looking ahead some 50 years in future, always ahead of the time… but these small news make all the difference to me. can’t wait to see the change start raining cats and dogs right about tomorrow.
