Copyright mafija nadaljuje svoj pohod

Tokrat v UK. V poletnih počitnicah, po hitrem postopku - da bo le čimdlje stran od oči javnosti. In nasprotno s prej objavljenimi cyber smernicami angleške vlade.

Nimam kaj za dodati k besedam angleške kolegice:

I have no great love for filesharers and my own life is reasonably complete without free access to the complete works of Michael Jackson. The reason I have become so involved in this single issue is because throughout, a single industry sector has shown complete contempt both for democratic procedures, the public interest and for basic and fundamental human rights, all in the name of extracting the last cent of their own, still not inconsiderable, profits.

Ok, companies exist to make profits. But worst of all, our own elected democratic governments, though very well aware of all these points, have gone along like sheep, far more willing to disproportionately criminalise a generation and remove access from students, the unemployed et al to the most essential facility we have ever developed, for minor civil infringements (no one is talking about commercial criminal piracy here) than consider the public balance of interests.
