Wilde ideeën & nieuwe muziek (159)

  • Zou het echt? BTW op uitvoerende kunsten weer omlaag naar 6 procent.
  • BREIN wil aanmoedigingsverbod voor gebruik van The Pirate Bay. Next: Tim Kuik verbiedt aanmoedigen van drugsgebruik, neuspeuteren en kinderen jonger dan 6 jaar in restaurants. Of Uitzending Gemist kijken vóór 22u? Pffff. Het is allemaal zo onnodig, verspilling van energie en geld, kijk maar: Piraten halen zelf illegale Pottermore ebooks offline (via Wiebe). 'Apparently, Potter ebook files started showing up on file-sharing sites pretty much right away after they opened. But before they could serve any takedown notices, Charlie says the community of sharers reacted. They said “C’mon now. Here we have a publisher doing what we’ve been asking for: delivering content DRM-free, across devices, at a reasonable price.” [...] And then the pirated content started being taken down by the community, before Pottermore could react. And very quickly, there were fewer pirated copies out there than before.'
  • En in dezelfde lijn, Seeing the future: 'Do you still buy CDs, print books? Then you’re already in the rearview mirror. [...] The MP3 is just about history. Only old farts like the RIAA bother to combat illicit acquisition of them. We live in a streaming world. [...] We’re moving to an access world. [...] And in this world, it’s not about making a splash, but being a lake.'
  • Giel Beelen zoekt singer-songwriter.
