The new paradigm that generates the web
In recent times, the web is being convulsed by the death throes of the legal world. Intellectual property rights holders to sue not violate his rights on the Internet, The controversy surrounding the net neutrality is a peak point and very hot, as recently demonstrated Association of Internet.
Citizens, through social networks agree to speak out against political parties and their leaders, as is happening in Spain and now also in Italy. And as has happened in other countries. Wikileaks has much to do with these changes. Sensitive information by governments may be exposed to the masses, was a milestone hard to understand yet, and we can not go back.
Moreover, Internet users fill their mouths talking about “Freedom of expression” Especially when you play the quintita, as with the issue of illegal downloading. People think, want change, but like most disorganized movements, not sure what he wants and what rights claims. There are a few ideas, but there are specific points.
What is clear is that they are breaking old paradigms, old ideas that had been built a model or way of life, society, government, thoughts. But missing (from my point of view) leaders who can embody and unify these types of claims. Missing driver”.
Come to a new generation of rights based primarily on certain postures that arise from the website. It is believed that the Internet is that Internet allows people from different countries to communicate and speak in real time and at all times. We think Twitter has a lot to do with this, as a vehicle of information and communication.
People must have the right to receive more information, to say what is and what he wants, to be heard, not having to pay extortionate prices or higher to be connected to the Internet, access to good services to be more involved in the decisions of their governments, large companies respect their personal data online, etc.
People see Internet access as a universal right. Many believe they can consume or to enjoy any cultural content without paying a dime. Total online as it is, we can do everything that we sing. We quite disagree with this, but we recognize that we must begin to consider the “intellectual property” from another angle. The old ways no longer apply. Ignoring the reality is the worst intellectual blindness that exists.
We also believe that all these new currents of thought (that have been brewing for long) occur in times of crisis. No work for all, access to housing is nearly impossible, and cultural objects and technology products are reserved for classes with a medium or high purchasing power.
Moreover, the media sell to the public the message that involves gadgets have certain prestige or social status. And people, like sheep, is desperate to have the latest iPad, the latest iPhone. Twitter Once we read a guy saying he felt “pity” for those who could not buy an iPhone. If, as read, rain Chan …
The economic has much to do with these new attitudes. The fight against corporate monopolies or preventing (from the user point of view) that all (or most) have access to certain content or goods, weighs a lot.
Internet freedom for the user, but not debauchery. Therefore, we must also be careful to believe that anyone can do anything, even commit crimes. This type of movements of thought are part of evolution, are new unmet needs that require a government solution and contemplation by the rules. We must adapt.
Now we are just at the beginning of this new “era” (do not know if it was the right word) and we need drivers (lucid, honest and committed) to guide the disorganized mass, sometimes believe that crime is part of their rights. Everything in his right middle ground. Nothing ends, please. And major reforms are needed in the intellectual property laws.
