If I'm not back in ten minutes... just wait longer!

what a pointless question.. is music piracy stealing? 

first of all I want to tell my side; I download for free and I don't get the point of copyright regulations. how can governments enact a law about so called stealing that they don't have? but that is another bussiness. 

the mistaken point of copyright is that piracy is not stealing, it is basically copying. if you steal something it disappear for everyone else. if you can you see cocaine by eric clapton somewhere else, that means I didn't steal it. a singer records a song and brand it, takes copyrights, the album takes place on shelves, some guy buys it, goes home, makes a copy and puts it on the internet. government cannot accuse me of downloading a song, I took it from a generous friend who doesn't care about money, who cares only about the spread of art. government cannot accuse that guy of stealing, because he paid for it and the cd is his property and he can do whatever he wants with it. singer can oppose and say "this is my property". ok! that's right, that is your production then keep it yourself. we advertise for him/her, he/she should appreciate.

in addition to that, when I download, I download only one song. there are about 13 songs in an album and I don't want to pay 20-30 TL for only one song that I want to listen to and 12 songs that I don't care about. there are also single albums which are 10-15 TL and I don't want to talk about them.

another option is download songs for little costs. this is the most logical proposal of copyright holders and I made a simple calculation, I have about 20.000 songs in the several files, and I downloaded them all. cost of each song is about 0.15$. that means I stole about 4500 TL for now, and I keep stealing. on the other hand I don't have that much money and if you offer that money (maybe a little bit more) I can quit listening music, honestly..

I hope noone sneaks me and I hope someday a kind of piratpartiet gets elected in this country.. until that day I will keep "stealing" from rich men who don't need my little amounts of money..

Reality TV.. Really?

anytime we turn on the tv, we can see at least one reality show. common people watch them all the time, and they really like these type of shows. the real reason behind this probably is pure ignorance. people watch them because they think these shows are really interesting. they think that reality shows are real. 


but the reality is different, reality shows are not actually real. everyone likes to see a part of themselves in television so these shows are designed to satisfy this need. everyone wants to be "the Big Brother". 


they want to be watching all the people all the time. they want to see all the relationships, every fights, every problems, every elation in people's life. they want to see an action, an emotion..  


however there is a missing point in both Orwell's and reality audience's thought, as Palahniuk said in his novel Lullaby, the Big Brother is not the one who is watching. he is singing and dancing. he pulls rabbits out of a hat. the Big Brother is busy holding your attention every moment you are awake, you are always distracted, you are fully absorbed,  your imagination withers.

until your brain is as useful as your appendix. and this being fed, it is worse than being watched with the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what is in your mind. with everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world..
