Like many doomsayers ventured to say, it seems that they were going to gather 20 geeks, and a lady I reseñaba minutes before the event: "It's a shame that youth do not go to defend their rights." He was partly right, but the Internet is not exclusive chavalería is a treasure for all citizens. I would rather say it's a shame that society does not come out to defend their most basic rights that today, in case anyone had not heard, they have to the Internet as a battlefield. We're playing the future model of society and the Spanish were sleeping.
But the truth is that before the Ministry of "Culture" and Lieutenant Ruiz witnessed a May 2 defended their freedom against the invader, finally people are encouraged to go outside. There were so few at first as they would have liked and the edge of the 12 hours the King was filled square, people very varied indeed, great and small, young and old rebel, students and teachers, artists and retired journalists Daniel Rodríguez Herrera (Digital Freedom) and politicians such as David Hammerstein (strong advocate for Internet freedom in front of the Greens). It was then that Victor Domingo, president of AI , gave the word to people such as Miguel Perez allowed Subías ( AUI ), Carlos Sanchez Almeida (lawyer specializing in civil matters on the Internet) or the same Enrique Dans (guru and influential blogger country). Participated Javier Sanz ( ADSLZONE ), guitarist Luis Cobo "Manglis" (member of the SGAE), journalist Enrique de Diego (which inflamed the minds of all) and the representative of the CD and DVD shops whose shocking testimony left us the clear just what kind of bugs we face.
But hey, it's best you see yourselves some of the testimonials that someone with very good sense has put online:
Act like you see ended with the reading of the manifesto which was convened by the event and the speakers to the microphone on the dais while Luis Cobo "Manglis" improvised (if he was asked by copyright) a piece that sounded to me a fucking hymn to freedom and this fight we are a few without the rest of society to realize or care. I liked it so much that I uploaded to the web for all to enjoy:
Luis Cobo "Manglis" - Improvisation unregistered
We must be clear that we are literally in a war for our rights, that the enemies are very powerful, there are many fronts but many of us we are fighting and we have a responsibility to future generations and to defend as Internet History supposed to defend the press and the French Revolution at once. For the first time the knowledge and therefore liberty can be available to all mankind. Up to us screaming as did Lt. Ruiz: Get them!
Given the mass of absurdities that occur in the EU and the Ministry of Culture with regard to civil rights and net neutrality, the Internet Users Association has decided to hold a demonstration to address interests that should not defend our political, because who or what they are our politicians? Make no mistake, are fighting campaign after campaign to change the general opinion of the population. Meanwhile on the sly, in Europe, we are taking away many of the rights that you worked hard to achieve, many dead among other trivial things. So much emphasis on harm to whom I can only respond to rate three things: power, pulp and take us for idiots.
The SGAE and other ilk can not ask them to stop what they are in their nature, perhaps they can fish in one of his shenanigans, but the politicians who live in them we have to pay this and threatening, of course itself. Say very clearly that they will lose their easy chair and may have privileged status. Do not play with fire will not burn. Take time abusing our apathy and conformism, as has been witnessed in recent years (real estate boom, educational system, support for the banking, etc). The only thing I have always feared the angry mob. Enough of this breed so much nerve to stray.
So on May 24 at 12 pm will go out to the streets to defend my freedom before the Ministry of Culture.
