• The film examines the technological and cultural aspects of the copyright wars, and the cultural and economic implications of the internet. It includes an exploration of Mark Getty’s infamous statement that ‘intellectual property is the oil of the 21st century’.

• It draws parallels between the impact of the printing press and the internet in terms of making information accessible beyond a privileged group or “controllers”. The argument is made that the decentralised nature of the internet makes the enforcement of conventional copyright impossible.
• The internet turns consumers into producers, by way of consumer generated content, leading to the sharing, mashup and creation of content not motivated by financial gains. This has fundamental implications for market based media companies.
• The documentary asks “How will society change” and states “This is the Future – And it has nothing to do with your bank balance“. (wiki)

[...] oamenii vor sa dea click pe link-uri si sa se inregistreze pe cat mai multe site-uri. Primesti un link pe messenger? Da click pe el fara sa te gandesti prea mult. Intri pentru prima data pe un site? Ai grija sa te inregistrezi pe el cu datele tale reale, cu adresa ta de mail in care iti tii datele bancare si documente personale. Stai asa putin! De ce sa nu folosesti aceeasi parola peste tot?

…si-as mai adauga eu, de ce nu ai face-o de la un internet caffe? :D

Internet vs. privacy (1) si Internet vs. privacy (2) – doua articole interesante de pe HackersBlog.org despre problemele de care ne putem bate ca utilizatori de internet datorita lipsei de informare, naivitatii sau nepasarii noastre. Mai concret, minimul ce trebuie sa-l stim pentru a nu ne fi informatia online sparta in 2 timpi si trei miscari, unde prin informatie online intelegem: toate discutiile purtate pe mailuri, pozele din atasamente, conturile la banca, etc. Merita sa le cititi.

Avem gale si premieri pentru film, publicitate, muzica, etc. dar pentru cei care produc cunoastere si formeaza generatii, nu avem.

“In the heart of Transylvania lies Sibiu, an important but little known city of 160,000. Outside Romania, Transylvania is best known as the sinister setting of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. Yet within Romania, the region is known for the outstanding beauty of its Carpathian mountain landscape and its rich and significant history. In 2007, Sibiu was the European capital of culture, and apartments surrounded by cobbled streets and pastel colored buildings can be picked up for under 50,000 euros ($65,000).”
