I hadn't seen that <a href="http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2011/1220/1224309292523.html" rel="nofollow">Cantillon column</a> before now but the Irish newspapers have been making threatening noises of their own against sites which refer to stories or link to them, and clearly have a vested interest in future developments in copyright law.TJ McIntyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565959875438814437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060198.post-83820161675761299762012-01-12T01:50:05.694+00:002012-01-12T01:50:05.694+00:00Is it hard to believe that perhaps the newspaper m...Is it hard to believe that perhaps the newspaper might have a dog in the fight? You didn't quote the accompanying Cantillon copy that says: "It’s hard not to have sympathy with the record labels..." It's not a common sentiment amongst people who don't only read balance sheets.<br /><br />They still pay their cheques the same way the record companies did, out of non-digital content distribution and they cannot seem to evolve in response to the changing environment. They're terrified. They're below 100,000 in circulation for the first time. <br /><br />" there is little doubt the issue will end up in either the Irish or European courts in 2012, or both."<br /><br />It's there and it's going to choke up the courts for decades if this is the way things are goin. Blacklists are carbon sheets for billable hours.<br /><br />And people will keep listening to music, the most social art form there is, and the stated aim of copyright, incentivising creation will be forgotten, harden and die like a tight little bit of coal in the laws' heart.Ronan Delaneyhttp://www.delexical.com/tangentsnoreply@blogger.com
