Anti-hacktivist guide to the SGAE to the true and proper use of Internet

Today comes out and spreads the publication of a counter-guide to shed some light to the defamation of which were subject Promusicae and SGAE in his famous pamphlet for the proper use of the Internet. As you recall, a few days ago out this guide through the NGO Save The Children, a program trying to reach more young people in schools with a fully manual corporatist and manipulated, biased guide to show where it came from the "terrible" dangers of the Internet.

Well, before the deception we echo the launch of the anti-guide hacktivist launched by the group and supervised by lawyers to make it available to mothers and teachers, that they actually have to educate. In the same and instead of offering the program management organizations, promotes freedom of expression, to learn without fear and that terms like "sharing" does not see it as a crime but as a preview of what it should be. In short, learn new technologies and culture offered above the pressures exerted by lobbies and management companies to boost their income and maintain the pattern of the past.

Then I pass a series of data and uses the program and I would urge that the distribution and compare with the "other" reality. As stated by its title, this is music, film and TV legal, free and open Internet, but why you want to imply that is piracy and illegal:

• The free right to culture is a fundamental right enshrined in Article 44 of the Spanish Constitution should guarantee to all persons irrespective of their purchasing power.
• In the case of younger reinforced because in conjunction with other more basic such as education (art. 27).
• You can access a copy of the contents of free and completely legal (for example, if someone shares in a selfless and non-profit).
• The P2P has been a technological breakthrough allowing the copy without a central point of exchange. That is why it is an egalitarian system.
• The government itself used BitTorrent to store and make available to the public large files such as digital mapping.
• When you share a cultural content, benefit their creators with the spread, the more people know your work and may be interested in it.
• The law, to guarantee the right to private copying, protects the copies of works without permission of the author (again it must be stressed that there should be no profit).
• Rights holders and management organizations are not qualified nor claim to an ISP that identifies the owner of an IP address for a civil infraction, as they would be going against the legislation that protects privacy and communication privacy.
• The artists are the least money obtained from the current system still used by management companies. At the same, 2% of the members collected 75% of revenues. Thanks to the Internet, many artists find new ways without having to resort to such companies.
• Although no physical support is needed as a means of distribution (which saves on costs), management institutions are reluctant to new business alternatives as Netflix requiring payments to triple what was paid in their countries.
• Although the guidance of Promusicae encourage the purchase of content through their own pages on the internet there is a large number of content offerings in a legal way for free use and secure.
• The use of DRM in the original copies purchased prevents users from exercising their right to private copying, so even becomes necessary to resort to shock in order to obtain a copy of which is legal but can not be illegal by technical barriers.
• The Canon digital , but indiscriminate and recently implemented in Spain illegally held by the Court of Justice of the EU, corresponding to a "compensation" for artists in respect of private copying that make users (and that private copying is a right recognized law).
• Blogs in Spain write and make available works created by their authors, most of the Creative Commons licenses (ie, it allows reuse and download the work.) Therefore, it should be clear that if the posts have links to other sites are not the blogs that made ​​an illegal conduct.
