개인휴대용 3차원 인쇄기(pp3dp)가 나와있는 판에 2차원의 종이 복사기는 아직! 개인용이 나오질 않아서 여태 책은 주로 복사가게에서 종이복사하는 방식이었겠다(복사가게 아주머니 말이 최신 복사기를 쓰는데 일본 회사에 주는 임대료가 몇 십 만원 한다던데).
개인용 종이복사기 기술은 아무래도 개발될 필요 없게 될, 스캔 혹은 디카를 통한 책 복제의 아날로그 방식과 함께, 전자책의 대량생산으로 책에 대한 해킹이 무성해지고 있다.
우리의 토런트광(torrentfreak.com)의 또 하나의 뉴스상품은 책의 불법복제 해적질 –> 책에 대한 관심과 판매가 급증한 한 사례를 보여준다. 아래 그림과 같이!
스티브 리버(Steve Lieber)의 만화-소설(comic book, 이미 쓰이는 적절한 장르 이름이 있을텐데?) “지하세계”(Underground)의 스캔-해적판이 (디씨인사이드보다 더 하드코어인 미국의) ‘4채널’(4Chan) 게시판에 올려지자 그의 책 관련 웹사이트 방문이 폭주했다는 그림인데, 사이트 방문으로 그친 게 아니라 실제로 책 판매도 급증했다고…
이는 그냥 하나의 뮤비가 아니라, 이런 대중문화의 존재 – p2p 파일공유에 대한 일국적·국제적 억압과 그에 대한 초국적 반발과 분노와 저항(의 표현)이 아닐까.
단지 이거 하나 가지고?
지금껏 해적질 때려잡아온 협회, 기관, 법무법인, 기업 등을 분산 서비스거부공격(DDoS)으로 박살내고 있는(물론, 진짜 박살나는 건 아니고 짐시 혹은 며칠 접속이 안 되는 것일 뿐이지만), “익명”(Anonymous) 집단의 (지도부 없는 대중) 해킹행동주의가 한 달 넘게 계속되고 있다: 작전명 “보복” 혹은 “환불” (Operation PayBack).
이런 공격적 해킹행동주의에 대해 논란이 있을 수 있지만, 어쨌든 중요한 사건이다. 끝난 게 아니고 계속되고 있으니 차차… 아! 부족하나마 관련 한글 뉴스 기사가 하나:
Only rapper to be called a thief without stealing
Download an MP3 for free, these people hit the ceiling
I’m just a citizen that’s teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression
How can ideas be possessions when they’re freely replicable?
Hence unapplicable property laws are reprehensible
Didn’t Jefferson express his opinion on the matter
when he said inventions shouldn’t be given a patent
What happened to that thinking, we’re stuck in a pattern
where the people with everything are keeping everything from us who haven’t
We want it back, look, fed up of adverts, left and right
begging me to buy til there’s nothing left of mine
to spend, never mind, who’s next in line to testify
that we need laws like these to protect our rights?
Medicine has never been something I’d ever deprive
especially when a life depends on it to survive
Yeah, it takes an incredible effort to develop them right
but putting wealth over health, I said it’s never been right
I’m just a citizen that’s teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression, and I reckon
if old blues themes hadn’t been used by Led Zeppelin
we wouldn’t ever have any heavy metal then
the history of music would have never even happened
and amusingly there wouldn’t even be a Metallica
to tell us that we should hang on the gallows of law
so we wouldn’t even need to have a Gallo Report
Oh and by the way the fricking Gallo’s support
is made of signatures which have been apparently forged
This shit is sinister, and cannot be allowed to enforce
so tell your ministers and MEPs of how it’s been brought about
Although you’ll probably get a shallow retort
because the lobbyists have got a grip around all their balls
If I was boss, I’d tell them get the Hell out the door
because I’ve had enough of corrupt crooks ramming through laws
I’m just a citizen that’s teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression
Yes, and deep packet inspection? squeeze that up your rectum
If your postman did that to you you’d be having him sectioned
arrested for meddling in your private affairs
But it’s only online, right? so why should we care?
Because digital rights should be applicable right
here in real life, and we’re not criminals, right?
So this is just why we’ll never give up the fight
to be considered innocent until we kick up and die
Giving internet providers responsibility
for the whims of their subscribers infringes privacy
Before the internet, media was a rarity
but how do you expect it to keep its value without scarcity
And that’s what scares me, seeing their cons and schemes
to stop their creaking business model being obsolete
What a robbery they pull off so obviously
Don’t give a fuck who it affects as long as it’s not me
Well I’ll keep making copies, see if they can stop me
They’ll have to confiscate my PC and take it off me
See there’s no problem with taking my property
for creating some lines of binary, blatant hypocrisy
Afraid to face the controversy relating to what we need
Making a profit off it or breaking monopolies
Ce ciné-tract a été réalisé par des étudiants en DMA et CineSup du Lycée Guist’hau à Nantes pour soutenir le mouvement social contre la réforme des retraites.
This cine-tract was created by art and film students at Lycée Gabriel-Guist’hau in Nantes, France, to support the social movement against Sarko’s retirement reform.
