Read in the December 2007 issue of Windows XP The Official Magazine ™ this excerpt from the editorial of the Editor: "Let us to the moral aspect of the problem [the fight against illegal downloading] download multimedia files without the permission of rights holders, it is not right ... Se "stuff yourself" for years on the backs of consumers by offering cultural overpriced, it is not pretty either! It is now time to consider new ways to share the intellectual wealth: the film industry could, for example, recognize people attending cinemas by offering free video DVD. The win-win is in the air time, is not it? "

Mr. Editor,
I have just read with great interest your editorial in the December 2007 issue of Windows XP The Official Magazine ™.
I spend the first part, legal and technical, and I stop to "the moral aspect of the problem."
It seems to me you're not going far enough in your analysis. Yes cultural goods are overpriced. We must strike hard.
I suggest you lead by example.
Indeed, the cultural property that is your magazine, sold 9 euros is outrageously expensive.
Therefore, I propose to implement a "new way to share this rich culture": you're running version "pdf" of your magazine, on an official site on which any interested reader can download freely. Possibly, I can help by making a copy of the paper that I bought, and putting myself on a site online "peer to peer.
In addition, I suggest you reward people who buy your magazine still on newsstands, by offering a free DVD of the latest version of Windows XP, much more useful than the many "versions Test valid for 30 days "that typically found on the CD-ROMs available.
I think we could go further: you've probably noticed the exorbitant price of flat panel displays, high definition, however, essential to look comfortably films donated by the film industry. Therefore, I propose to close our eyes when we go we used freely in stocks FNAC or Darty, these traders are shameful "gorge" on our back for decades .
And soon as is Eve truce of "draconian excesses" if we can not not pay us caviar, take it on the shelves.
Ah! not. This is not a cultural product. And besides ... I hate caviar
PS. How is it that when it comes to "digital", the reasoning of everyday life can no longer apply? No wonder drift "morality" of youth, when the press persists in boast organized theft?
