CAN I JUST MAKE VERY CLEAR HOW I WANT PIRACY PREVENTION LAID OUT!?
Question by Jean Michel Jarre fan: CAN I JUST MAKE VERY CLEAR HOW I WANT PIRACY PREVENTION LAID OUT!?
It seems that there is a gray area when it comes to piracy prevention.
So, I thought I would lay out some ideas which would clear up this palava and needless fuss about it.
1. Downloading copyrighted material unless which have applied for a “license protection” is illegal full stop unless you apply for a license and wait for a grant in written permission.
2. Downloading music is acceptable on the grounds of research, but it MUST be deleted within a certain amount of time unless the artist or company or others affected given written permission otherwise.
3. Copyrighted software must not be downloaded in any curcumstances, unless those involved have applied for a GPL license or has given permission for you to do so and it must be in writing.
4. Downloading as 1, 2, 3 because you have a retail copy does not entitle you to download another copy from the internet, and you may face heavy fines if you are caught downloading.
5. You may breach 1, 2, 3, only if you are making copies from a retail edition which you bought or otherwise obtained for personal use and not to be used for financial gains.
6. Providing they are not to be used for making financial gain or making copies thereof, you may use personal video recorders to record copyrighted material, however, if you own the copyrighted material, then of course you are free to do what you like with your matierial.
7. (From question 6) You may record copyrighted content from the TV (for example) as you have paid for your TV license, and may keep the recording for an unlimited amount of time until such a time you wish to delete it.
8. You may record copyrighted content from the radio as also you have paid for your radio license and may also keep the recordings for an unlimited amout of time until such a time you wish to delete it.
9. Those uploading downloaded content, unless localised laws differ from this, will have the links, etc. blocked from public view and request to be taken down by the copyright holder on the violating websit They may also face a heavy fine and possibly internet termination if after several strikes they continue to do this forbidden behavior.
10. Legal contracts between third party advertisers where you pay a monthly subscription for music, movies etc. are acceptable provided they are genuine and that the involving artists are getting a fair share of the money.
Comment if you would like to make suggestions or critise my ideas 🙂
An excellent point fairygodess, yes I have been researching into tha topic for a fair while now :), but I’m ashamed to say that overseas these very somewhat simplistic ideas are muddled up. For instance, in Sweden, there is no law to take down file-sharing website, The Pirate Bay. If you read the legal statements, (and there emails back) you will realise what scornful, mockery remarks they sent back literally to mega companies like EA, SEGA, and the likes, tearing up the metaphorical paper and laughing in ther faces because they know there is no law in Sweden requestion to take down illegal activity.
Read some of the legal cases applied against The Pirate Bay: http://thepiratebay.org/legal
I rest my case 😛

It sounds like you know what copyright laws mean and if such knows them, then they should not break such under the law.
