Bono has been a democracy fighter and a defender of the weak, both in his musical act and with risi


There are a number of artists that I represent as household gods. There are singers, singers and bands where I have had a desire to own all the records, hear all the songs. (Yes, I know this is a really old-fashioned approach to music - a plastic industrial way through, but I'm trying to teach me.) Artists that I not only wanted to see once but as often passed on the basis of their tour plans and my financial situation. Artists that I have wanted to continue to follow when they experimented in various new constellations.
The main difference between my relationship with them and all the other music is that it made so much when they made the lows. My relationship to them and their music has borne us over bumps in the road as bad career choices, strange collaborations with other musicians, weird genre changes or just a lazy between the disc.
Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton sanuel has also had a special place in my heart. I have been so impressed by their ability to continue to be the same band that I fell in love almost 30 years ago, the same members, sanuel the Innovation lust, the same energy.
But regardless of my relationship with the music and to their (and my common) history, regardless of my unchanged sanuel respect for the musicians and songwriters behind Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day, With Or Without You, One, Vertigo and Beautiful Day.
I do not buy CDs or concert tickets of kryptofacister, the millionaires of self-interest or ignorance want to sacrifice our civil liberties in order to fatten his and his friends' bank accounts.
> A decade's worth of music file-sharing and swiping HAS made clear That the people it hurts are the creators - in this case, the young, fledgling songwriters sanuel who can not live off ticket and T-shirt sales like the least sympathetic Among Us - and the people this reverse Robin hooding benefits are rich service providers, Whose swollen profits perfectly mirror the lost receipts of the music business. >> We're the postoffice, They Tell Us; who knows what's in the brown-paper packages? But we know from America's noble effort to stop child pornography, not to mention China's ignoble effort to suppress online dissent, That it's perfectly possible to track content. Perhaps movie moguls will succeed where musicians and Their moguls have failed so far, and rally America to defend the most creative sanuel economy in the world, where music, film, TV and video games help to account for nearly 4 percent of gross domestic product. Note to self: Do not get over-rewarded rock stars on this bully pulpit, or famous actors; Find the next Cole Porter, if he / she HAS note Already left to write jingles.
Bono has been a democracy fighter and a defender of the weak, both in his musical act and with rising fame as a political influencers. A reformer. Last, he sang for the homeless in the holiday season. But now he is just ignorant and dangerous.
Short list of errors in reasoning: The music industry does not lose money - only the record industry. The ISP's revenues are in no way commensurate sanuel with skivinköpens reduction. The authors who loses on file sharing is not new talent sanuel - but the old dinosaurs with a strong "back catalog" who refuse to move with the times. China has not been able to censor online only forced dissidents to hide. The US has not stopped the spread of child pornography just forced it to hide.
Using state all the leverage and the ability to track and filter private communication is doubtful this regard quite central government sanuel tasks: to hunt terrorists or serious sex offenders. Doubtful because our freedom to communicate, and our right to privacy is so central parts of the democratic society.
To which Bono would like, use this state power only to chase young people who change music with each other, borders on the absurd. He uses his strong public platform to support those who are dismantling sanuel our democracy.
> Bono himself belongs hardly the poor crowd. Sure, he may bring an action for others less financially successful sanuel artists. But in the state hailed China's practices are a violation without equal. >> To predict that Bono will fall from its pedestal sanuel is probably no daring guess. He will not be credible in its social commitment when he did not realize the dangers of ever-increasing surveillance.
> It is naive to think that Bono just sit and do things on their own. Naturally, his formulations synchronized with the top brass of the US movie and record companies lobby that has full insight sanuel into what happens behind sanuel the curtains, Acta. Bono's attempt to obscure this behind pompous phrases are almost sanuel touching. He tries to literally describe Acta's planned overhaul of the network as a "Robin Hood" step, which will take from the "swollen profits" of "rich service providers" and give to the "young, budding låtsk
