Re: Dotcom Extradition Judge Steps Down
Looking at the US, it seems weird, to a lot of people, in the rest of the world, that the corporate world is sponsoring all these politicians to get a seat in the government.
To return the favor, are these politicians working for these corporations now, while they suppose to work for the country and the people? A logic conclusion can only be that this is corruption. Why would one spend millions on campaigning, when the job doesn't pay that much?
For an idividual, what is the point of even going to vote.
It is amazing to see how these people, in power, put pressure on other countries to do things their way. Not to mention how illegal their practices are.
Not every country has got the same opinion and laws about copyright. But they don't respect that.
The movie and music industry is trying to maximize their profits with these practices. But people today, in these difficult economical times, are very critical. They don't waste money on inferior movies and music.
There was an article in the newspaper, last month, that for the moment, about 50% of the movies are remakes. Yesterday, i read, that for the first time, people are buying more older music than the latest music. That is not only related to the price but also to the quality of today's music.
The moment the industry produces higher quality products and change their business model to comply with the new technology, they will make enough money, so that they don't have to harass the individual.
