Copy Rafa Marin ...
My name is Cristina Macia , I have 45 years, I can manage quite easily in computer issues and I am a habitual consumer of cultural products like books, TV series and movies. A bit of music too, not much, not my thing. I have a reasonable income for luxuries that give me little, and almost half of them come payments for copyrights of my books and translations. I'm an atheist, so I do not believe in sin or punishment, and vote for the PSOE mainly because I well remember the eight years of PP.
Now, knowing what you know about me, as you can answer this: What do you prefer a person of my characteristics in each of the following situations, assuming that in all cases the three options were available alternatives?
1) When a movie thirty years ago, I prefer ...
a. - Go to Rapidshare , get off the sixteen bits waiting ten minutes between each download along with a program only to find that bit 11 missing and 12 are repeated again this time download Megaupload , bits together with a program I had to lower ad hoc, to find that the movie version I've downloaded is in Turkish with subtitles in Chinese, start downloading sixteen bit different (not knowing if they are different or am I really down the Turks again) separate download subtitles translated into Castilian, synchronize them with Subtitles Workshop ... A few hours of work, we will, without guaranteed results.
b. - Acquire the film in one of the many catalogs available to distributors Cinema consumer. Ah, no, wait. The older movies are rarely found there. Well, write a mail to the distributor. Wait three days, your response. I respond that it is not for sale. Send another mail to know if they plan it for sale. Wait again. This time do not respond. Staying with the doubt and the desire. C.
- Buy the movie online at a reasonable price (six euros "would be fine? Talk of a film former and a physical product, not support costs for the seller) and download to my computer, with good definition and correct subtitles. With my connection, four minutes.
2) Just Dance dragons the most awaited book ... Well, last time a donkey! As I'm dying to read, what I do is ...
a. - Wait a Yankee freak scan the book to get off a horrific past a PDF OCR converts ies in jacks, losing all formatting and skipping the odd page, because I have nine years total, quality I do not care and I will enjoy the same.
b. - drew his Visa and go to Amazon to get out the book in digital format by paying a dollar less than you would pay for the paper edition in hardcover. Then turn the damn Kindle in another format readable by my ebook, probably disrupting the losing format and emphasis, who have suddenly become bold. C.
- Download the book at a reasonable price (let's say it cost thirty euros paper, "Fifteen would be reasonable?) And in a format that allows me to read my ebook or any, if within a year I buy another, put him notes, backing up and lend it to a buddy if I feel like it, that something is my book and I paid.
3) I want a new game for the Wii. This Mario is a crack, a plumber who get caught!
a. - I'm going to the store and pay almost fifty euros for him. Then I come home and put it in an urn, forbidding my daughter to touch him under penalty of amputation (of the hand), because you can not back up, and as the damn disc injury (which often happens if my child is involved) comes to paying another fifty euros.
b. - Wear the Wii to a store and I cutrepiratosa the "tunean" for forty euros, but well I'll lose the guarantee of the manufacturer and may not be used to connect to other consoles. Now I can get my internet games and burn regular DVDs, but for some strange reason eight out of ten times the disks fail, unless you use a dual-brand Notefijes middle layer and are only sold in a shop Chinese half an hour by bus from my house. In addition, games that are under me in Italian, vayausteasaberporqué.
c. - I have a new Wii model MisUsuariosNoSonDelincuentes. " Nintendo I connect directly through the console and use the old games for little money, and new at half the price than it would have cost me in El Corte Ingles (Nintendo and is doing well, because it saves distribution intermediaries, media ...). No risk of spoiling the game, because I have not actually stored on my Wii, but Nintendo remote server.
4) starts the third season of Misfits!
a. - Seeking the torrent. Ray, the British series are always more difficult. I find the end. Under the episode. Damn, no sound. Under another torrent, this is the PROPER. Damn, you got five minutes left and took the chain logoforma half screen. Under another torrent, the REAL PROPER. Fortunately, this is fine. Under the subtitle. Rays are synchronized to the PROPER version, not the REAL PROPER. Nothing is resolved with a half time synchronization job.
b. - I call customer service to all stations to see if any plans to issue. In the first do not know what I mean, as in the other national. In Intereconomía do know and Descojonado me. Tell me that MTV will broadcast the first season, so it depends Like how they will emit the third (probably before the second or interspersed episodes), to call them next year to see.
c. - I subscribed directly to the series, the station paying 2.50 euros per episode. This season will feature seven episodes, so it cost me just under what would have cost me to buy the pack when it went on sale. Could have paid only the first episode for that to "try before you buy", but Misfits is guaranteed. The subtitles are optional and are extra fifty cents more per episode. Upon issuance of each in England, the chain sends me a link and proceed to descargármelo. It takes me a minute, two if the network is very saturated.
5) New movie from Clint Eastwood, and I am of those who believe that Eastwood has only to go out on the movie screen to earn big points.
a. - The bottom of the Mula. Shit, it was a porno with the title changed. Me back down. Shit, there are few people sharing, this does not strip. Start again. Hala, another porn. At the end I have a computer full of virus, three porn movies and was looking for, only that is recorded in a cinema with a camera phone. The holding the camera have Parkinson's, obviously.
b. - I hope to put it on film, and as the voiceovers make me imagine Eastwood face of Constantino Romero , I find one in the original. I find the city closest to where I live: It is about five hundred kilometers. Entrance fee: 8 euros. Plane price: 200 euros. Price of hotel night: 75 euros (I am of simple tastes, but not drawn). Sum what the babysitter charge me to monitor my bud that night. See Clint Eastwood is priceless, but this seems a lot.
c. - I go to the website of the producer, where they offer the movie in high definition, properly captioned and streaming six euros. Ordenata to connect the TV, turn off the lights, pour myself a beer ... Too bad there quit, even that could light a cigarette if you wish.
Moral (s):
Not all consumers of film, music, television, books, etc., We are criminals. Many of us are not twelve, so we have credit card and nothing we would not mind paying a reasonable price for what we want. But you keep on building a world where hacking is the natural product and not even considering the option of paying (mostly because they do not exist or exists in despicable conditions.)
Each person who gets off your book / movie / album is not a customer you've lost. It may be a customer 'd never have. A client may be eager for your next book / movie / album. Neil Gaiman know anything about this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlwPETn3PxM )
When I buy your original DVD before the movie starts calling me a pirate and criminal for five minutes and when I download over the hill no one insults me in the face. Dumb question, what kind of masochistic fool think I am?
(Sorry for the handpick and inconsistencies that exist; vuelapluma written text, with much anger and bad temper, and eager to Álex de la Iglesia would have been less polite during the gala of Goya, a well-cut sleeves to Sinde, that's what had to be done.)
