More flexible copyrights.

The issues of royalties and intellectual property in Internet are suffering drastic changes in last years. The entities more affected by these turns are the great music enterprises and businesses of movies (pirated, constantly) and lately some large world newspapers by the competence of a parallel press (blogosphere), a still wild east enviromment, in which an importan number of viewers would like to avoid the issue of of authorship's rights and intellectual property. In the blogosphere there is of all, but also a lot to take from here and of there, without citing the original sources, without mentioning the original author. In principle, the punitive restrictions, had in the passwords their better defense. These became in goalkeepers, defenders of the sacrosanct intellectual property. No one could enter to the reading of many contents of electronic newspapers. However, by its extreme rigidity and by the fact that the same news could be read in other sections of Internet, the system began to fall in disuse.

Los considerandos prácticos sobre derechos de autor y propiedad intelectual en la era del Internet vienen sufriendo cambios drásticos. Las entes mas afectados por estos giros son las grandes disqueras y empresas de cine (pirateadas constantemente) y últimamente algunos grandes diarios del mundo afectos a la competencia de una prensa paralela (blogosfera), un medio aún salvaje, que gustaria prescindir de los derechos de autoria y propiedad intelectual. En la blogósfera hay de todo, pero también mucho de tomar de aquí y de allá, sin citar las fuentes originales, sin mencionar al autor primigenio. En principio, las restricciones punitivas-restrictivas, tuvieron en los passwords su mejor defensa. Estos llegaron a constituirse en cancerberos, defensores de la sacrosanta propiedad intelectual. No cualquiera podia ingresar a la lectura de los contenidos, de los diarios electrónicos. Empero, por su rigidéz extrema y como la misma noticia podia ser leida en otras secciones de Internet, el sistema empezó a caer en desuso.
