At the end... (Score 1)

I live near Barcelona. There's a strange behaviour usually found around here. People seem to think that if you can steal something because the owner doesn't protect it, you are acting correctly. This harms IP industry a lot here. So: If, for instance, I leave home and forget to close the door, people will find normal that someone comes and takes the tv in the living room. With this kind of behaviour, let's imagine someone invents the universal key that open every single door. That would mean the caos! Solution: Make the doors illegal! (I know, I'm a genius!) The fact that nobody can enter home from now on is a collateral damage that has to be paid, but, you know, it's not easy to please everybody. That is more or less what is happening here as I see it. Who is really beneffiting this law? Let's see, the chinese mafia are the ones who sell pirated cd's on the street. Are they going to be punished by this law? Probably no. The content: They will have millions of ways of downloading the content. (ftp from other countries for example). The media: I don't imagine them going to the nearest computer shop and saying: Hey I want to buy 20000 dvd-r. They probably buy them directly from a distributor. And probably not a spanish one. In fact there's a cd-r factory around here that had to close for that exact reason. So the ones really hurting the media industry are not going to be punished. After this law, people will not be able to use eMule at home, they will have to pay more just to save the pics of their holidays on a cd-r and they will continue being able to buy the pirated movies on the street. So, following the doors example from above. People won't be able to enter home but the thieves will manage to use the window. That's were I am living. So if, for instance, Jorge W Bush is reading this and is sick of the terrorist attacks to their soldiers in Irak, consider moving your troups to Spain and make this a better country. You will be rewarded with paella and nice beaches. Ah! and people thinks twice before making a suicide attack.
