I will talk about an issue I went over quickly in my presentation—education.
Last weekend, I was told about how young children aged 12 to 15 months behave with an iPad.
They get the thing. I mean, after five minutes they know what to do. As an extension of that, when they're in front of a real book they try to turn the page by just surfing on the page.
That's Pavlovian conditioning.
They really get the point.
What I want to comment on, too, is that this technology hides the felon, if I can say that.
The technology hides the violation of rights. It's so impersonal. When something is downloaded, no one sees the victim.
There is no blood.
That causes a huge problem. People who know me know that I am very optimistic, but I don't think this problem can be resolved proactively. Legislative provisions will truly have to be adapted to these technologies, as was the case in 1920, when the first Copyright Act was adopted. Obviously, this backed us into a corner because people were seeing
recording as the acétate. They never saw what was coming. It's obvious.
