Yesterday afternoon, another year, Fray Antón was suspicious of the mills Luciferians of Master John PARIX, publisher of talent that did the first book printed in Spain, back in 1472. Aguilafuente was present in body and soul yesterday Madrid Book Fair , as host of bizarre name these days: "The Synod to Digital." representation
With fresh and talented of the residents of the home of the Synod, after submission of the authorities, "civilians and military, these curious days were opened with a first session (dedicated to copyright in the digital environment) in which, among others, Joaquín Rodríguez, exemplary friend and guru of the future of the book. His presentation , undoubtedly the most interesting of all afternoon, is available on his blog. We would point out his line of argument regarding the maze of copyright, which seems very reasonable.
Rodriguez, prevailing against demagoguery, posed as irreconcilable opposing positions on the issue of copyright in the digital environment, calls for dissolving prejudices and misconceptions. The two opposing paradigms, according to Rodriguez, are creating a false antagonism, based on a maximalist does a disservice to the industry. The paradigm A (conservative) answer to the following key: ownership and materiality. The paradigm B (progressive) would respond, however, other key: access to and fluency.
Rodriguez finished calling for a "holistic education" on copyright for the whole sector and society in general, claimed the right of the author to graduate the availability of its contents, even defending the concept of " equity waiver "and made clear that" the free flow of content and help support the growth of knowledge. " Other speakers (CEDRO representative, another of the Balcells agency and a blogger) made it clear what their interests, but each spoke of their bingos.
In the debate, said Paradigm Book your questions and reflections on what the other speakers heard:
-Currently there is a kind of fascinanción by Web 2.0, Internet, network, and of course, a innocent and not so innocent infatuation with the pottery digital. The key word is "availability" and the Big Lie is that "everything is on the Internet." But few are facing the reality, in terms of cultural change, which is assuming the emergence of Google was the world books and reading.
-Editors without having designed sound and proven strategies are breaking into the digital environment from a business approach, but with their usual tricks. In a space, such as digital, where the value of content is rapidly tending to zero, perhaps there is not much business to scratch for publishers and booksellers in the future still unknown.
"He is sanctifying the idea of \u200b\u200b"access", providing Internet and New Technologies in an almost magical power that helps us, "finally," the availability of "knowledge." But gentlemen, we are not as peliculeros: the contents are available in bookstores there (paying) and then in libraries (without pay), for centuries. The democratization of access to culture becomes demagogic weapon extolling the virtues of the network, when libraries have for many years as democratic meeting environments with reading and books. It wields the advantage of not having to leave home to access the content: Internet we will, therefore, antisocial, agoraphobic and obese.
significantly He confuses "content" with "knowledge." Internet will not make us wiser. The availability of content, majestic state, does not guarantee anything. Internet and immediate access (thanks to a good ADSL) to certain content, it is a feast for anyone if no one has the need to seek (and still find a price of liquorice). The availability of content will not cause, by spontaneous generation, to double our readers, not going to provide, by osmosis, that we are wiser. Libraries sophisticated digital stores are so full of dust as our still perfectible virtual libraries are brick and the role of organic dust, if the promotion of reading, beyond being a religion or public policy, does not soak the culture of civil society the country.
"The publishing industry, publishers and booksellers, they should avoid Manichaeism, false and awkward, it faces the pixel to paper, digital print book. Have never sold so many books on paper, never been read and written so much thanks to the Net and, moreover, Network helps to publicize, advertise, promote and sell our books better on paper.
"On the other hand, publishers and booksellers and agents of culture we must address a profound teaching on the digital labyrinth, unless we get to third as Phoenicians looking for business at all costs, or as ignorant of the unknown, what we despise and ridicule, or worse, as geeks with "virtual frenzy."
