August 4, 2010 at 18:12Idea: legal file sharing
The idea is as follows:
1. On a certain X resource, users are given the opportunity to maintain their discographies and view discographies of other users (all or from a friends list).
2. User A can at any time contact User B with a request to share this or that content.
3. In response to the request, user B can give user A a link (or .torrent file, it does not matter) to the requested content. Their correspondence is private.
Thus, since there is no publication of content, there is no violation, since Art. 1273 of the Civil Code permits “without the consent of the author or other copyright holder and without payment of remuneration, a citizen reproduces a legally published work solely for personal purposes”. Moreover, the profit received by the copyright holder from such copying is already compensated to him by the tax on discs. The situation is completely analogous to the fact that A came to visit B and, with his permission, copied the disk belonging to B. Unfortunately, for computer programs (including games), Art. 1273 does not apply, but to films, music and books - completely.
Lawyers, correct me if I'm wrong about something.
I give the idea for free to anyone, and even ready to provide all possible assistance in the development of the site, if anyone undertakes.
