The start of a conflict via internet

American culture should know to understand the real meaning of the expression "right of copyright", better known as "copyright".

According to Wikipedia, "copyright is a set of legal norms and principles that govern the economic and moral rights the law grants authors (author's rights), by the mere fact of the creation of a literary, artistic, scientific or didactic work, is published or unpublished.

Is recognized as one of the fundamental human rights in the Universal Declaration of human rights".

With regard to any concern which has caused judicial submission to the leaders of the company "Megaupload", once the FBI to carry out an investigation by nine countries and for many years, whose conclusion was that managers were regarded as "a gang of criminals" accused of conspiracy, money laundering and u000a"fraud".

With an accusation as well and with hounds you stepping on toes, would have to wait until the worst short and long term.

In other words, a work cannot be considered in the public domain until the same laws consider her free of the economic rights. Only at that time can be used freely by all the world.

Or 70 or 90 years after the death of the author.

In this case, the time was "yesterday" and the benefits were "already". One of the most striking examples was the release on the internet of the film not completed edit "X Men origins: Wolverine" starring Hugh Jackman, who months rather than go out to the public, was available for your copy via Internet

Of Megaupload was a very lucrative business, according to the U.S. Department of Justucia, won some 175 million dollars from the foundation of the "company" and made losing more than 500 million of u000a$ to the owners of the rights of author.

But not everything stays there. According to the definition of themselves, "we are not pirates, only offer shipping services to the pirates," according to an email from one of the managers, Mathias Ortmann. That is, links ("links") of Megapuload networks was so great, that many of those responsible for indirect are lost on the way.

Services, not only offered to copy movies recently released to the market, but also music and one of the newest businesses that are popularized: "clouds", which in this case nor are white with a blue background or are in the sky. They are places where clients can save and access their personal files permanently.

Also the "streaming", power, for example, watch the movie without copy it, for pay or without pay.

Of course, Megaupload has its defenders and they include u000a"Anonymous", which is home to a group of "hackers" who have already attacked the page of the Department of Justice of United States and another one of Sony music. And even provided suggestions users propose what pages can attack, as a result of the closure of the popular Megaupload.

Of leaders go to jail, is there a little peace?, does the extent change the habit of users? There seems to be the case. Quite the contrary. Each opponent will defend his point of view, and younger does not accept a defeat so easily. We must overcome the challenge.
