Internet rises: "Operation Payback"

[sohanuzzaman56]

Phrases like (I quote verbatim) “Why do we need ADSL at I don’t know how many gigabytes? To send emails? ” did not come from the mouth of my grandmother from the village, but from our friend Gonzalez Sinde , current Minister of Culture and former president of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain .

Months ago, César Alierta (Executive President of Movistar) left bc data malaysia us stunned in a press conference where, apart from wanting to start a war with the major content generators on the Internet, he showed an absolute lack of knowledge of what he sells, what the Internet is and what the Internet means for the world in which we live.

That's not all, an agreement called ACTA ( Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement ) is currently being drafted to end “piracy” and regulate the Internet to the liking of governments around the world and their respective lobbies.

Statements by powerful people, ADSL provider companies with poor services, low speeds , abusive prices, and negotiations that benefit obsolete industries , are awakening the anger of the Internet community worldwide.

Internet associations, consumer associations, large companies and millions of users have been fighting for too long for those at the top to “renew themselves”, but, speaking openly and in a friendly manner, it seems that things are not working, but quite the opposite .

Protests organized on the Internet, such as the famous ' Operation Payback' , have already been successfully carried out, bringing down the websites of the RIAA ( Music Industry Association of America ), MPAA ( Motion Picture Association of America ) and now it has been the turn of the Spanish SGAE ( General Society of Authors and Editors ), Promusicae ( Music Producers in Spain ) and finally the website of the Ministry of Culture .

Governments have a problem, and that is that the Internet as we know it is “free.” Personally, I think that communications have changed more in the last 10 years than in the previous 40 , and that seems to scare some people.

In order to protect the intellectual property rights of a few, they intend to limit the connections of all users. Limit… The word “limit” should not exist in this context in a country where the current infrastructure allows (on average) a maximum of 3Mb ADSL in a large city like Barcelona.

It is clear that the Internet is changing the world, for the better . The losses in some companies with sectors rooted in the “physical” are being displaced in favor of the “virtual”, and we must accept it, assume it and adapt once and for all . Otherwise, the protests will become increasingly larger and more aggressive.
