Network stupidity
Last night, I got to know that there is a new trial about a youtube copyright issue about what are you allowed to do and what are you not, valid for the country I'm living in.
It is about whether you harm the rights of another if you post his videos embed in your own writings without asking him.
The high court still has not found it's final decision, maybe it will once again be handed over to Brussels.
I don't know what to say to this "mess" - I guess it is the same with many other countries, not only this one; valid copyright needs to be revised as well as what is often called "mental property".
It would be the same judging problems of today with the moral of the middle ages and the Inquisition - almost everything would be forbidden what humans used to do every day.
The thing about this which I do not understand - beside the fact the copyright does not get revised -, why do people publish something in a public environment and then complain about what is happening to their content?
If you connect everything and nothing to a public network, you are begging for somebody to take it.
If you don't want anybody to do what he desires with your creations, then you can't put it into a public environment - and you can't connect every machine to a public network.
Network means an entity can access what another entity at another position is doing - there is no more privacy.
If that risk is too much for you or you fear somebody to steal important data about your life, you can't join the network.
Otherwise you always have to live with that small risk to once meet a hacker in your line.
It is native of these things.
