Интервью с полицаем

So if I make some kickass music video (trust me, I’ve made tons…I think one sold at least 50 copies… sad…) and someone in Seychelles wants it…I don’t think it should just be ok for that person to take it for free. Maybe that’s not a great example…but it’s personal. To me, this does come down to artists’ rights. Does there need to be a better means of distribution? Sure. Should anime be available everywhere? That would be great! But does a person have a right to freely enjoy the art that someone else created? I don’t think so… (…) I’m adamant that I don’t feel that «it’s ok» for a person to enjoy my art for free and while I certainly don’t think the world over has a right to enjoy my creations for free, I would probably be quite flattered if something of mine was taking the internet by storm and I wasn’t getting a dime from it.

Шикарное интервью с полицаем копирайта. Ши-кар-но-е. Прав был благородный муж, говоря, что лучшая антикапиталистическая пропаганда — это позволить записному либералу расслабиться и открытым текстом высказать свою позицию. Даже добавлять ничего не придётся. Вот самая мякотка:

Bamboo: There’s also that age old argument of, «They get anime for free in Japan!» and now «They get anime for free in the US!» We all know that they have to watch ads, pay for broadband, etc, but that argument remains. What’s your response to that?
Evan: Ahh yes, «free» as in «free TV.» Well… the artists have to get paid. I don’t think they care if they’re being paid by the advertisers versus being paid directly by the audience. It’s a bit of a specious argument in my opinion. It’s like complaining that there’s free health care in France.

Вы знаете, что что-то обречено, когда его настоящее мурло оказывается омерзительнее, чем любая возможная карикатура.
