Seems that the entertainment industry has its key fun to play against people who care about soup / protect intellectual property. I have seen variations on this theme in many different places, but most complicit in the entertainment industry by focusing on the idea that the concerns raised by current technology, entrepreneurs, innovators, creators and investors are somehow "hysterical exaggeration." A key example is the head of the RIAA, Cary Sherman, of "reply" sent to News.com this week that begins with "we all take a deep breathing, "and goes on to say that the adoption of the soup" does not kill the internet. "

is fine, but nobody said kill

the Internet, but only the change in a large mass RIAA / MPAA and his ilk do not understand. Remember, these are the people who once admitted that they were very confusing to know even how

location

a good technician, let alone understand how a massive change for the human rights framework and technology of the Internet will have an impact on innovation.

But in fact, return to a key point. In the last century, the industry used to be hysterical and hyperbolic copyright ... and has a history of being right. We will begin about a century ago, with John Philip Sousa, the composer. In 1906 he went to Congress to complain about the technology industry and how it was hell to ruin the music:

These talking machines will ruin the artistic development of music in this country. When I was a child ... in front of every house in the summer nights, you will find young and sing the songs of the day or old songs. Today you hear these infernal machines going night and day. We will not have a left vocal cord. The vocal cords will be eliminated by a process of evolution, like the tail of man when he came from apes.

Yes, the IT industry was going to kill music, because "these infernal machines."

A that time, Thomas Edison, who tried to monopolize the whole "moving images" industry as both a content provider and technology provider, has been frightened by the idea of ??offering to other machines can display movies, saying that if there were ten of these "machines to screen" movie in the U.S., which would kill the industry:

If we put a screen machine will use a dozen of them in the United States. With machines that screen you show the pictures to everyone in the country - and then I would. Do not kill the goose that lays golden eggs.

move to 1932 and that technological innovation called great "radio". Once again, fear permeates the entertainment industry, which requires major changes to laws and complaints about how the radio industry was killed:

Tin Pan Alley is sadly aware that the radio has virtually blocked their points of ancient times, scores and records. The music publisher means used to get $ 175 000 per year in CD sales. Currently receives about 10% of the total. It is no longer a hit song to sell one million copies. The flow of heavy music made a song for the radio is rapidly to death. The average life span of the song has been reduced from 18 months to 90 days, composers are forced to become a dozen songs a year instead of the old days two or three.

bad things. Well. Forward a few years, the emergence of cable television. Again, the MPAA is afraid, because some cable television stations "broadcast" television network. The MPAA argued in court that the cable effectively kills copyright laws, as noted in a dissenting opinion of one of the most important cases on the legality of cable television:

We were informed by an amicus curiae brief to the Motion Picture Association of films that emissions are imported by cable television in their own markets in competition with same images are licensed to television stations in the area where cable TV, a hacker who do not pay import movies. It would be difficult to imagine a more flagrant violation of the law on intellectual property. Since the law of intellectual property is our only guide to the law and justice in this case, it is difficult to see why cable TV systems are the copyright royalty-free license when imported from remote computers programs and transmit to their paying customers in a distant market. This result is read the Copyright of the existence of CATV.


then take a decade or two, and we have the famous statement of Jack Valenti compared the VCR to the Boston Strangler:

tell you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler to a woman home alone.

At the same time, again in the UK, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) - the equivalent of the RIAA - began his infamous campaign to tell the world :

home taping is killing music
