Piracy – the result of a market failure
Posted on | April 24, 2009 | 2 Comments
If you have just the slightest interest in the heated debate about filesharing and torrents going on right now, you should read the brilliant piece author Matt Mason (of the book The Pirate Dilemma fame – a truly eye opening book about the topic) has written for the TorrentFreak blog, adressing not only The Pirate Bay ‘spectrial‘, but filesharing in general.
Here’s an excerpt:
The real winners won’t be the ones that come out on top of this long, bitter trial process, appeals and all, which could take five years. It will be the side that develops the new technologies that will render that court decision meaningless before it is even issued. They may be Scandinavian pirates or Hollywood privateers, or some combination of thereof. The file-sharing community is working ten times harder because of this trial. The entertainment industries would be wise to do the same, and wiser to find ways to work with the pirates they continue to fight. The fact that they didn’t do so ten years ago cost a generation of artists billions.
