Piracy: The Sails of Media
Our culture
is it now conformed by different types of media. Technology now let people
share their knowledge among the world and way of living. As a consequence of this
culture is it now an important product of globalization opening the doors to
other ways of thinking. Nowadays people can have access to music, movies, and
other kind of media from all around the world. However, it is important to say
that this access may be limited to some content leading to some illegal
practices in order to reach it, such as piracy.
Although
piracy have been criticized for not rewarding its intellectual creators, and
all those people in their production, it may be the only access to culture to
some people. Through piracy, it is possible to have foreign media and rise
knowledge. For example, some electronic music it is only available in Europe
and can be hardly found in Mexico. Even they are in fact famous, some of their
can neither be found in online stores, leading to practices such as piracy.
An example
of piracy in which it may have had help to share knowledge can be found in
fansub. Fansubs is referred to content in which titles have been added in order
to translate to a language, sometimes this is the only access to people in
their language.
Even piracy
does not fully reward its intellectual creators and people involved, it helps
to spread its content among the world. This practice may not be legal at all,
but it has an important impact to culture and knowledge in community.
