The brilliant economist Carlos Rodríguez Braun publishes occasional opinion column in a section titled "economic nonsense", which has released a compilation book . The intention of this column is to show the reader interested, as interventionist rhetoric is capable of reaching absurdities of all kinds, provided again and again to justify a state intrusion on an individual basis, or whatever it is, in personal freedom of every individual. Although I did not come up to the great Mr. Rodríguez Braun going to copy his style, because I think SGAE that does not go so short of nonsense to justify their model of extortion. Do not believe me? I'll show you.

The newspaper Expansion stated in an interview, has today, Monday May 24, 2010, the following statements by Mr. Bautista, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the SGAE, "If left unchecked Internet no one will invest in new ideas and talent. " What, how they have left the body? Surprised? For though the rest of the text is priceless I am going to focus exclusively on the above statement, first, because it represents what everyone already suspected, that completely ignores what is really Internet means and, secondly, to think that creativity is easily destroyed.

I published some years ago, a monograph on the theme entries: "The blackmail of the movie and record: a sociological approach I , II , III and IV . There exposed because one of the reasons why these businesses are unable to cope with the social phenomena of the Internet, is that really know what it means Internet, as does Mr. Bautista.

I quote :

; In the history Internet, we can draw a conclusion quite striking, the origin of the Net was an impulse conducted by several parties: the research universities, military research and the culture of freedom, as well Castells states: "Internet was born in the unlikely crossroads of great science, military research and libertarian culture "(Castells, M. 2003, 34)

unaware of the origins of the network of networks can lead to understanding the Internet as something very different from what actually be found on its intrinsic. And as I mention in the entry first monographic series:

libertarian culture [...] is a feature more characteristic of the development of the Internet, as few technological and scientific advances have been based on the culture of freedom as the network of networks, also because this culture of freedom had its origins on college campuses where it began to take the first steps of Internet, hence this culture not only characterizes the Internet, but also affects one of the main factors that fostered its creation.

And the second post, we see that Manuel Castells says:

[...] "The rapid spread of communication protocols computers would not have taken place without the free and open distribution of software and sharing of resources, which became the code of conduct of the first hackers. [...] Most of the networks required a backbone (backhbone) anchored on more powerful machines and that was only possible due to contact between science-based networks and communities of hackers in universities "(Castells, M. 2003, 43). Universities become the epicenter of the relations between the Orthodox and a scientific subculture and counterculture ideals were the hacker community, which also belonged to teachers and scientists.

Which brings us to:

[...] say that the great feature of Internet freedom, the ability to freely express knowledge and resources, to share and improve together, the network of networks, we can say that therefore, the Internet architecture is mainly an open architecture. (Castells, M. 2003, 45). And that's the secret of the rapid growth of Internet, the internal capacity of its training structure, its architecture, which allows the object to be constantly forming during use, allowing failures to realize that you have and try to solve when, together, to improve the final product and for this to occur, must be met Castells describes three conditions: first, the network architecture must be open, decentralized, distributed and multidirectional interactivity, secondly, all communication protocols and their development should be open, and be distributed freely [...] subject to change and thirdly the institutions that manage the network should be constructed in accordance with the principles of transparency and cooperation that are inherent to the Internet. "(Castells, M. 2003, 49)

And there, in the last sentence of Mr. Castells is the crux of this whole matter, any organization that works Internet must be built on the principles of transparency and cooperation that are inherent to the network. And those who have proved better suited the users, all?, No clearly not all. Castells speaks of two types: producers - users and consumers - users. The former have an active and feed back against the passive attitude and way of the latter. In fact, the latter involving fewer habitual Internet profile, where what is known as Web 2.0 has been possible thanks to the continued development of the first.

Producers - users are structured in turn, according to Castells:

"culture tecnomeritocrática, hacker culture (see Himanen, P. 2001, 155-157) , the virtual community's culture and entrepreneurial culture. Together contribute to an ideology of freedom widespread in the Internet world. "(Castells, M. 2003, 58).

And what is the value that unites all these groups: [...]

freedom. Freedom to create, freedom to absorb the knowledge available and free to redistribute this knowledge in the form and the selected channel. We

and insistence on control by Mr. Bautista, is a clear reflection of ignore the fundamental value of the Internet: freedom. And the only way to end our freedom is through coercion and state intervention. Mr. Bautista could well join the cast of characters who populate the "economic nonsense" Professor Braun.

On the Internet possibility that a free end with new ideas and talent, the second point I want to develop, is only a logical consequence of the first. Mr. Bautista, with its regulatory vision of the network, you can only see in confined spaces and creating drawings, specific places where this process, ie, labels, film producers, building departments, etc.. Creative activity which can only play a number of people eligible.

However, if the Internet has shown us anything, is that talent is everywhere and not just in certain places or people. And never a tool like the Internet has enabled an explosion so strong building, talent and innovation in the history of mankind. Including talent management, creativity and innovation have penetrated the Internet by business organizations. The philosophy that permeates the network to the new management has permeated overthrowing the old hierarchical structures of vertical cut and pyramidal other in a network to exploit the potential of all the constituent parts.

Therefore, however much it hurts to Mr. Bautista, the Internet, you can not regulate in any way, because otherwise we end up with a fundamental aspect or network efe them and not doing so will enhance creativity, precisely because it has shown us a free Internet is that there is no better way to develop new ideas and promote the creation philosophy of freedom that underlies the Internet.
