Her er der et læs brud på den moderne lov om ophavsret. Rachmaninov remixer Paganini uden at give ham gysser. Stephen Hough fortæller vidende om remixeriet uden at få gysser. BBC laver en fortrinlig optagelse, der nu ligger på YouTube. Uden at de får gysser for det. Alt i alt: ingen får gysser, men verden bliver alligevel rigere. Det er rart at disse 30 minutter er tilgængelige i stedet for at være grundløst indelåst i et dødt arkiv. Ekstra romantik fra 20-minuttersmærket og frem.

"Becoming a successful independent artist is still a worse bet than the lottery. But for the much larger group of artists working in arts industries and the even larger group of creatives working in other industries, wages and job satisfaction are actually substantially higher than the national average.

Some artists can’t adapt to the new environment. The good news is, there are many other ways to support artists other than via copyright-driven revenue: more investment in arts grants, better prizes, or other public subsidies.

The constant upward ratchet of copyright isn’t going to make any difference to these artists. It’s just going to hurt the infrastructure that we now rely on."

"Lampert took the myth that humans perform best when acting selfishly as gospel, pitting Sears company managers against each other in a kind of Lord of the Flies death match. This, he believed, would cause them to act rationally and boost performance. [...] Instead of enhancing Sears’ bottom line, the heads of various divisions began to undermine each other and fight tooth and claw for the profits of their individual fiefdoms at the expense of the overall brand."

Velkommen tilbage fra ferie. Du har læst det hele før, men denne aftapning har en nogenlunde god 2. halvdel: "The ultimate tool for corporations to sustain a culture of this sort is to develop the 40-hour workweek as the normal lifestyle. Under these working conditions people have to build a life in the evenings and on weekends. This arrangement makes us naturally more inclined to spend heavily on entertainment and conveniences because our free time is so scarce.

I’ve only been back at work for a few days, but already I’m noticing that the more wholesome activities are quickly dropping out of my life: walking, exercising, reading, meditating, and extra writing.

The one conspicuous similarity between these activities is that they cost little or no money, but they take time.

Suddenly I have a lot more money and a lot less time, which means I have a lot more in common with the typical working North American than I did a few months ago. While I was abroad I wouldn’t have thought twice about spending the day wandering through a national park or reading my book on the beach for a few hours. Now that kind of stuff feels like it’s out of the question. Doing either one would take most of one of my precious weekend days!

The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is exercise. It’s also the last thing I want to do after dinner or before bed or as soon as I wake, and that’s really all the time I have on a weekday."

En historie som denne minder en om at ophavsret nominelt eksisterer for samfundets skyld.
