Yesterday was seen in all television a small n manifestations of a group of English musicians protesting against piracy on the Internet outside the Ministry of Culture.
Apart from the funny it is to see people like the Wizard of Oz Txus or Loquillo very serious and demanding legal action against this abuse of their rights (Amiratu Haider or illegal drug use did not say anything, you see), or better Moreover, Lolita Flores saying that life is very expensive and did not get to eat (sic), this event has coincided with the announcement of the Government that its plan "Sustainable Economy" slightly amending laws Services Information Society (LSSI) and Intellectual Property (LPI).
The most striking of these changes is that it will include a fifth course laying you can restrict Internet access under Article 8.1 of the LSSI. Until now there were 4 cases: the protection of public order, criminal investigation, public safety and national defense, protection of public health, respect for the dignity and the principle of non-discrimination and protection youth and children. These four will join the "protection of intellectual property rights."
That is, we on the way to what they already do France and the UK, but do not know if you've been there many judgments and how they were resolved.

Download portals closed, tightening the siege on the portals of P2P, although this is much more complex. Can I be restricting my access to internet because someone has copied songs from your hard drive to mine? What if the exchange has not been on the Internet? Do they include the old cassettes recorded between friends in the law? And my collection of dusty VHS? I know they also violate the rights of all artists.
While all musicians have turned to making thousands of tours at exorbitant prices in the face of dwindling profits through the sale of records, it is also true that record companies have not changed their modus operandi one bit and ill go if they do, they hide behind victims under his coat and refuse to admit their dark future. The problem is with the many musicians who can not give concerts, either because they are musicians, or simply because not all music is made to listen live. I feel good that you can protect your rights and live better than they are given, for it is allowed to require SGAE as laws and canons.
This complicated situation makes everyone now how it should be raised in future sales of music, film and media for digital media. Nobody has found the situation for now ideal, we are in full time to adapt to this new situation that has come so quickly. The cultural offer available to every citizen is now thousands of times higher than any previous time, with that we all win, but it is clear that we must compensate the authors for their works. Soon the literature will also face this problem by the proliferation of e-books, but I guess it will cost less adapted to have the example of music forward. In this article do a good analysis of this.
