File-sharing has weakened copyright—and helped society - 0 views

  • According to the US Constitution, copyright is about promoting "the Progress of Science and useful Arts"; it's not about enriching authors, except as a means of promoting said "Progress."
  • "The publication of new books rose by 66 percent over the 2002-2007 period. Since 2000, the annual release of new music albums has more than doubled, and worldwide feature film production is up by more than 30 percent since 2003... In our reading of the evidence there is little to suggest that the new technology has discouraged artistic production. Weaker copyright protection, it seems, has benefited society.”

    very interesting- file sharing has weakened copyright, but has promoted progress of art (which is the point of copyright law)

    A small example of the emerging two class society? On one side those that resist (or don't have access to) new technologies and on the other those that embrace them. As technologies become smarter and more powerful so do the tech adopters creating a chasm between the two groups that leads to fear, misunderstanding and ultimately violence.

    "Ultimately, [these technologies] may lead us to an autonomous vehicle, but there are a lot of things that have to happen. Society in general has to approve of all this. A trust has to be built with customers."

  • Thanks to a cobbled together-by-necessity system of money-transfer posts from Somaliland’s diaspora and a surging mobile banking industry, the country has to do away with cash.
  • Selesom, the major mobile carrier has launched a service where cash is completely bypassed. Mobile banking in Africa is nothing new and is far more advanced in the West or Asia, but Somaliland can take this to a further level
  • In less than six months more than 80,000 people in Hargesia have signed up with Selesom for its ZAAD mobile money service for money transfers
