[pp.int.general] UK action idea: in schools

[John Fanning]

Hi.

 

Its John Fanning. I don’t know if my name rings a bell but I was the
founding chairman and ceo of napster. I started the company with my nephew
shawn back in 1999. I owned 70% of the company and I represented the
founders on the board throughout. As I am sure you can guess I am personally
very interested in the inherent conflict between free speech, consumer
rights and Intellectual property ownership.

I am available as a resource in the US to help support the rights of
consumers, and to protect the fundamental rights on which our country was
founded.

 

Sharing is good.

I was thinking in doing a Compartir es bueno (Sharing is good) campaing in
Argentina too. Maybe we can do something worldwide.
We were thinking in banners, blogs, youtuve videos, etc...

Besides that, I really do not understand why P2P is so  targeted. Maybe is
time to start creating free things and share using P2P to show the world
that P2P is usefull not only to download ilegal content, and so it must be
not punished just to download or upload using P2P.  
Because if the tools continue to be forbidden, we wouldn´t be able to share
our own stuff.

There is absolutely no need to push anything illegal within a "sharing
is good" campaign.
Even if you could, that wouldn't even necessarily meet the goal.

You can as well show why it's favorable to use open content licenses
such as Creative Commons, GPL, ...
You can argue in favour of the "standing on the should of giants"
image (instead of the "ivory tower image").
You can show that P2P networks can accomplish quite useful tasks.
You can show what is ultimately questionable about restrictive
licenses, their downside and the whole piracy debate.
You can promote your vision of a world where everyone can share the
information they want.
And you can even still state at the end (or beginning): "Even though'
the current situation is extremely questionable, we don't want you to
get into legal problems. So please abstain from sharing non-open
content media, but instead promote open-content licensed creatives and
politicians that aim to change the situation."

If pupils are thaught that there is information they can share by P2P
and why it's more preferable to have it that way, they might become
allies...
