We are now bombed with the spot against the copyright break, from every source of information and every well known italian face that can tell us that downloading from internet is a crime.
Ok, maybe the copyright is real, but life we are living now is real too, and no one seems to be thinking that we cannot go on this way, at least those who could change the thing!
I’m talking about Mr. Giorgio Faletti, well known writer, singer and actor in Italy. I haven’t found his website or his e-mail to send this directly to him, so I’ll tell ite here. He decided to be the testimonial for the new government campaign against the copyright break, and after this he decided to release an interview to a national newspaper… not a good choice, Mr. Faletti! In a passage of the interview he said:
“I think that open source is the better way to fall into the barbarity”
But he do not explain WHY he think so, and few moments later he admit NOT TO KNOW a loto of “Open Source” idealism or copyright, lice Creative Commons. But this is not the worst part of the interview, probably because the words “Open Souce” are on the mouth of everyone and are easy to tell… But he touched the worst position in his interview when he said:
“The Item to copy the cd… their producers sell them to copy music. So they destroy the music and soon there will be no more to be copied”
HEY, isn’t this ignorance! Dear Mr. Faletti, if you’ll ever read this do not read “Igorant” like an offence, but you ignore too many things to express those thoughts with so vehemence! I have a CD writer in my laptop and I use it every day! I have burned my applications, my backups and I have made a LEGAL COPY of my 40€ CD!
Hey, do u think that the music factory is at the heart of the world? Do you really think that the CD burner has been produced ONLY to copy your music?
Oh, dear, I had a great respect for you, I have bought your two books, but I’m astonished to read your words.
Please, PLEASE, before spreading your words of Justice and Rights, PLEASE, inform yourself and don’t do those blind shots against the World Worst problem”
You have also told that you hadn’t took money for this spot… well, maybe you are one of those 5% of italians that do not need it! Do you know why? Because with the copyright money you can have millions of euro.
And before brandish your sword to defend a thoughts, be ready to tell the world you know what are you talking about, otherwise the risk is to appear as a man that ignore the surrounding world, like you have done this time!
