Sinde Law: apples with Merino short

could not sleep last night. So I slept with the computer and started to carefully review the twitter. The so-called Act I was petando Sinde. Since its defeat in Parliament last week, follows being one of the most discussed in the microblogging network. Was unveiled as I read some articles on the subject. Several David Bravo, a Public Berto Romero and another Ramoneda in El Pais. As it was not clear and did not sleep (or had time) I got to browse, read the Bill Sustainable Economy where dissent item appears in the first final disposition.

And that's the first thing that caught my attention. A law that seeks to promote the competitiveness and internationalization of companies, a law calling for transparency and efficiency Public Administration, a law that favors the development of the knowledge economy, a law that deals with the production of primary energy and an attempt to reform the financial market risks becoming the wayside because of an additional provision. Something as important as stuck for something trivial, to the extent that additional provision has finally naming the law, the famous # leysinde. Why PSOE so foolishly gambled with this law that seems so vital to our future? Did they think that the provision would desapecibida? If so, show that they have no idea what is going Internet. First review: mixed apples with oranges and neither do entered the fold.

But there is more. Before considering the merits of the case, one of the principles that should guide the work of the legislature in accordance with the law ezel principle of transparency. He says the project quote: "In applying the principle of transparency, the objectives of regulation and its justification must be clearly defined and consulted with stakeholders." Which, of course, this has not been done or was done in part. Second criticism: not done what the law requires to be done.

Finally, the creation of the Commission on Intellectual Property, "as a body of national scope for the exercise of the functions of mediation and arbitration and to safeguard the intellectual property rights assigned by this law. "Here a note that does not have the range of market regulator, as in the case of the Energy Commission or the National Securities Market Commission values. The paragraph which I think has sparked controversy says

(...) may take steps to stop providing a service of the Information Society or to remove content that infringed intellectual property by a for-profit provider, directly or indirectly , or who intend to cause property damage. The implementation of these resolutions, as may affect rights and freedoms guaranteed in Article 20 of the Constitution, require prior judicial authorization, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 122 bis of the Law Governing Contentious Administrative Jurisdiction.

That is, until now the judges went into the merits of the case, listening to the parties and making the decision. Now is a commission composed of representatives of most management institutions and the administration who can make the decision for judges to corroborate or not, but not going to judge the possible infringement of proprietary rights. The objective is clear: the pages published bonds or similar torrents. The key, profit indirectco: If you are advertising an indirect profit. However, again showing a widespread ignorance of the topic, since most of the applications PeerToPeer can cut out the middleman and can browse the files from the same application, without resorting to websites of blogs. That is, they will not have the expected results, although the law will be adopted with the current articles. Third criticism: they have no fucking idea.

Possibly, this issue requires a unique and public debate, in which each other to present their arguments. Spain is not far from the country more pirate in the world, but it is also true that violate the property rights very easily. Must be put in the spotlight many issues, such as the duration of intellectual property rights (no sense that last longer than a patent), the new market structure the distribution of content, the right of creators to charge for his work and interests of users. In this sense, the creators now want is to keep the status quo prior to the emergence of the Internet. Can anyone imagine the minilabs that 10 years ago filled the shopping areas of Spain to demand a fee for each digital camera for each printer sold and protect their source of income (the development of photographic negatives)? Something like that is what raises the SGAE and other rights management companies. Internet has allowed the global market more transparent (middlemen have been eliminated have been eliminated hardware, consumers can access product units smaller-LP songs instead of full-and has allowed significant reduction in transaction costs). In fact, the creators should see it as an opportunity and not as a threat, where multiple outlets (one for each display connected) and potential customers. The real losers are dealers twentieth century: the shops and traditional distributors. The solution is not to remove content from the network, but provide more quantity and more value in them to collect it.
has always existed and will exist the consumer parasite, but most buyers behave honestly if they are able to do so. I am not an example, but since there is the iTunes Store in Spain and Spotify not download music illegally. Now that there are some initiatives on-demand video store-quality viewing, I consider that my illegal movie downloads will disappear and so will the books and the series as soon as a solvent and offer reasonable prices. Meanwhile, the consumer life will look like it has always done: if the official market can not find what I want, I go to the black market.

The problem is that the more time consumers spend in the black market, the more complicated it becomes to pay for something you can get free, but the handle of this clock are distributors and creators. Will they be able to realize?

2010 Happy Holidays 2010-2011

The main results of this fiscal year note is the revival of activity from the first quarter, although it is true that with very weak levels that do not yet appear overly optimistic about the future immediately. Both the ISIN as the actual GDP data show a similar pattern, signaling the end of the recession but do not show the enthusiasm that could be expected.

The reasons for this weakness are related to the depth of the crisis, but also with the uncertainty of the English economic agents and financial nature of the conflict. In a debt deflation scenario adjustment becomes more complicated and lengthy, since the common circumstances of any crisis, we add financial rigidities. Japan has already experienced something similar during the last decade of last century, but aggravated by a deflationary process in the final price of the bins and services Nipponese.

other hand, the adjustment in the English economy is primed to employment, causing an unprecedented rise in the unemployment rate and the entry at risk of economic exclusion of a significant number of citizens. This reaction could say that traditional, was intensified when the construction sector (which has been hardest hit) very intensive job. The situation of bubble in which he was the housing market and the large number of sectors and related activities has amplified the effects and has served as a feedback system for their own financial crisis.

All of these factors mean that the future scenario is not very clear and, despite the green shoots that have been observed throughout 2010, both analysts and international capital markets themselves, maintain serious doubts about the ability of the English economy recover.

a clear exercise in search of the sympathy of those financial markets, the English government has announced and implemented a series of reforms aimed, firstly, to balance public finances in the short to medium term and, second, to relax some of the bottlenecks in the national economy. Many of these measures will have some impact on the sacrifices added that citizens must suffer during this process, others could be an opportunity to reorder the public services and expertise of each of the administrations, avoiding as far as possible the ongoing conflicts and overlaps.

This period we are living is, from the standpoint of the curious observer, a test for Western governments. The game is redesigning balances, leading to the growing power of so-called emerging countries, now essential to elucidate the resolution of this Gordian knot that is the global crisis. China, India and Brazil have become major international creditors. Are the countries that financed the deficit U.S. Foreign and Spain and now they should sacrifice some of its surplus position to leave room for improvement in Western economies. The problem comes when China is not willing to sacrifice keeps tight control over its currency artificially undervalued.

The cards are on the table, and 2011 should be the year that begin to glimpse some solutions, which do not yet know what the election is to be taken by governments and markets, even if there will be a loss of power one in the hands of others, so if we are sure of is that the future is starting to write now.

Blonde Before And After Tan

I got home last night after attending the awards ceremony of La Voz de Almería in which, incidentally, said the orchestra (albeit too loud to bother coming in a few notes ) and the number of plunger comedian who served over the 3 interventions. During the latter part of the cocktail was speaking (as a listener more than anything else) an interesting conversation between two dear friends about whether the current crisis is a more of the many crises that capitalism has given, or whether it is something deeper.
Back home, car, reminded the conference of Carles Manera I attended last week in which he spoke of a new industrial revolution. I also remembered a lecture by me (sometimes I have a memory of fish) two years ago, in which he spoke of the crisis overlapping. And, this morning, just waking up, even before the face to recognize hard work daily in the mirror, I returned to the head. So today, before proceeding with the drafting of the report, I am compelled to make this year of discharge, or I can not trabajar en paz en todo el día.
Vayamos por partes. Lo primero es hacerse bien la pregunta: ¿estamos viviendo un tiempo de Revolución? Y cuando digo Revolución, lo hago conscientemente en mayúscula, porque con ello me refiero a un cambio disruptor, uno de esos momentos en los que los historiadores ponen la marca de un hito, de una nueva edad.
Los argumentos a favor son convincentes. La globalización y, sobre todo, las nuevas tecnologías han modificado la forma en la que las sociedades se proveen de sus bienes. Las TIC han commoditizado la industria, que se ha convertido en una parte del proceso de que apenas aporta valor añadido. Esto que, a priori, podría parecer una anécdota is more serious than it seems, because it involves the breaking of a model that gave birth to the Industrial Revolution. Today, ownership of capital goods (machinery industries) is not relevant, economic power has shifted to the distribution and design phases, which are used ICT and knowledge intensive. But it's also most of the major multinationals are now time car or appliance, are derived from intellectual capital and the R & D intensive, information technology and software and biotechnology. Change is not the demise of Ford or General Motors, is the replacement of themselves as business leaders from Microsoft, Apple, Google, Monsanto and Celera Genomics.
But to find a true revolution should have tectonic shifts in the social field. Within this context we might note the impact that social networking and networking are creating. For example, always the work of espionage had been to steal the secrets of the enemy failed to publish, but to use to your advantage. Wikileaks today, little more than a handful of people with an idea, has been on the ropes at the U.S. State Department with mass leaking of documents. The aim is not profit, but transparency. The copyright are in a time of redefinition despite the pressures of the authors and copyright protection agencies, because the technology has become a dead letter in the same way that many of our laws have been overtaken by the reality of technology. Human society is beginning to leap national boundaries, the associations of interest today are not limited to the company, or country. In the same way that multinationals are now easier than ever to emerge and develop, using the same tools, social movements begin to overcome the traditional divisions. Society begins to be polarized between those who have access to the network and those who do not and among those with broadband access (which allows access to content and more intensive services) and those without.
And below these changes, almost carefree and fun as we approach the limits of our planet, moving towards the mother of all Malthusian crisis of mankind (since they already have been). A situation where we do not currently or in which we tend to think that we will end up saving technology (see eg Dyson sphere , that although there were enough technology to build-in more extreme approach, "would not matter enough in the solar system to complete). At the other extreme
of argument, the argument that we are seeing a more of a systemic crisis of capitalism also has arguments in its favor. Lighting the economic model after World War II has hardly changed, the service economy and then began. In addition, an important part of this outsourcing process from outsourcing of processes that were formerly part of the manufacturing process. In this scheme of thought, the process of globalization is the son of that started in the beginning of s. XX and was interrupted by world wars, as safety valves for the pressures that have accumulated in the previous process. In this long view term, the immediate past differences are relative, being the current chapter one in a historical process have not yet reached the break.
However, something tells me that today a political-economic discourse as Marx would not make sense, that the explanations on the use of the economy are not able to cover all aspects of this multifaceted crisis that society begins to discover a less innocent world and more connected when the power of ideas can make a few knees to the states. Something tells me that within a few centuries, our descendants (if they survive) will look today and put on the border between the twentieth and early twenty-first of a new age: the Connected Age.

revolution time Homo sapiens tecnologicus

At always liked economists believe the economy has much to do with the so-called pure sciences, or accuracy. At bottom, it is reassuring that the events can be predicted as that at sea level water boils at 100 º C. It is also very sensible to think that the trends in the past can help us predict the future or, more precisely, in order to influence that future.

However, from time to time is upon us an event as huge as the current international financial crisis, and then we are like those children who are happy with chupa-chup her in the mouth just to realize that in the suit are not any candy. As much as we insist on saying that some economists saw it coming, the truth is that almost no one matched or how and, above all, how much.


tend to think that the real problem of economics is trying to explain human behavior within the narrow confines of economic relations, ignoring our belief systems, our natural inclinations and our own physiology. We strive to imagine a linear behavior, not realizing that while we extol the importance of human capital and creativity. Precisely because we are so creative is that no two identical crisis, and so we see them come so hard (well, that and the very nature of the market system).

A clear example of what I mention is the invention of homo economicus , the subject that always works in terms of economic rationality, which assesses cost and revenue, and potential, and then decide accordingly. Where is that person? Our animal side, our limbic system, makes us less intelligent decisions from the economic point of view constantly and yet we meet and to make us proud. The very finding of this impulsive behavior, which is more standard that exception, we should have taken to eliminate this reference in textbooks. Instead, keep it and advised a feather flies, but does not conform to reality, it serves to explain much of consumer behavior.

In recent times, (more or less since we became independent of solar energy) we started thinking about our species as the only able to increase their levels of welfare indefinitely, bypassing the limited ecological capacity environmental load. Sometimes mentioned, but always in passing, and we silence our conscience (if they have it) with that of sustainable development, plus a white mark than reality. When even we are aware, we called Malthusian to the others and never blurted out that Malthus was right, when the reality and history teach us that he kept, until the energy emancipation expand our capacity to exploit natural resources to the past (which is where they come from fossil fuels) -. Possibly, Malthus did not know, but the limitation to produce food indefinitely had put in crisis to many civilizations throughout history, may even cause the collapse of more than one.

Those who are unaware we have begun to forge a new myth replace homo economicus, a false idol worthy of credibility. Now it worship the tecnologicus homo sapiens: the man who expands its capabilities beyond its senses by technology. Technology allows us to modify environment variables at will and opens a vast field of human creativity. There is, to deny intrinsic appeal in this new character. We avoid thinking of the future because the future can be repaired and transformed into something enjoyable thanks to the technology itself. Technological advance is called to be the solution to our energy problems, you can also end the suffering of human materials, and allow us to superhuman feats around the corner. The technology, in short, is the great redeemer of all sins: past, present and future.

As in the journals of 1900 envision a better future, always better, in which men and women work less and live more comfortable and happy. Our new world of technology is the solution to all our problems. Never mind that the magnitude of some of these problems is now so huge that we can hardly do something to change-even if the 2nd law of thermodynamics asserts entropic drift of any system. Words, wit and engineers will always be able to save anything with an invention or two ...

We are leaving the future in the hands of a very beautiful dream, but extremely tenuous and improbable. And while the starting time is passed and calendar pages of our species. Sleep keeps us from reacting, because it is too strong and too beautiful. Even when we doomsayers, we at the bottom of our hearts the hope of being saved. See if the movie Wall • e . An apocalyptic tale in which the technology is part of the problem but also the key through which salvation comes.
