It was a life of denounciation. Everything you did, every word you talked was registered by someone. You were watched all the time, even in your own home. It could be anyone: a neighbor, a job-mate, your best friend and even someone in your family.
The sad “record” was established in Russia in the ‘50s where a schoolboy of 10 denounced his parents. It was declared “national hero”.
So Geppetto, you really amuse me. You are welcome to denounce me anytime. Why do you have to be a Romanian publisher to do it? Maybe you will be declared the “international DRM hero”.  |
I am NOT a DRM enthusiast: ebooks I AM publishing are DRM-free. Nonetheless I'd like to think that people buy them, you know.
I never knew that European Union copyright laws are a "totalitarian" stuff. I never knew that pirating is an act of freedom, too.
And let me ask you one question:
How old are you?
I was twenty when the Berlin Wall went down. I live in a Western Europe country where in the 20th Century millions of people were proud of calling themselves communists and socialists, where millions of people voted the Communist Party and the Socialist Party on democratic elections, where millions of workers joined Marxist trade unions and parties: I do come from a working class family and I believe (firmly believe!) that all of my family's welfare and all of my country's social welfare has been obtained by Left winged (communists and socialists) working class organizations' struggles.
Then ask your older countrymen if they are wealthier now than before...
