"Good Copy Bad Copy," -

      It is difficult for me to understand how the pirate bay is able to operate because the country in which they are located cares about the freedom of their citizens, while in other countries, people that recreate existing material, who are artists, and don’t distribute copies of copyrighted material, but use it to create new content are chased like criminals.



      If science for example where to follow this commercial structure we would be really behind in innovations. Since, everyday all around the world, databases containing thousands of scientific publications are accessed in order to exchange ideas and discoveries between scientists so new content can be created and summed to the knowledge of humanity.

      The music industry and many other artistic industries could well adapt to similar commercial structures, but they would have to give away a lot of the power they exert nowadays. Just like telephone companies are reluctant to updating their wireless cell phone network, since it’s easier to get revenue from the old GSM system. Power corrupts not only people, but also industries as a whole. Nevertheless, there is always competition in most industries and if other entrepreneurs see an opportunity to enter or even create a new market they will certainly push older enterprises to update their approach.
