Hollywood against Kim Dotcom and his campaign

Last Friday, we spend a few minutes talking about Kim Dotcomthe founder of Megaupload and the campaign had started (video included) against the reelection of President Obama for his policies have been influenced by the pressures of the entertainment industry United States (principal developer of the closure of Megaupload and, precisely, has filed suit against Dotcom millionaire). Openly accusing Hollywood, the response from industry has not been long in coming and, in response to the publication of an open letter to industry, signed by the Megaupload manager, Bruce Leddy writer and director of TV series (Cougar Town, for example) has decided to publish a response letter lambasting the Dotcom its business model and his flamboyant life.Bruce Leddy, writer and director of TV series like Cougar Town, has decided to publish a letter to The Hollywood Reporter to question Kim's statements Dotcom and put it in opposition to their lifestyle and money, according to Leddy, has amassed "through the work of others ":I am a current employee of Hollywood and I have friends billionaires with mansions and Rolls-Royce cars, therefore, that we become friends anyone could become much more interesting [...] I am concerned about their assets. While you are under arrest, who cares for his mansion and all the cars that were bought with the profits amassed by publishing the Hollywood movies and TV shows online? The dust accumulates rapidly in the helicopter, be careful !On a rather ironic, the writer and director, we review some of the "excesses" and "luxuries" that have shaped the life of Kim Dotcom: luxury cars, his mansion, trips, parties, private jets etc.. Why this attack ? Dotcom has always pointed out that the Hollywood industry is behind all the events, ie, closing Megaupload (FBI operation and collaborationist authorities in New Zealand), but the point of view of this industry representative is very different and see the business model Megaupload within the opportunism of doing business at the expense of others' work:Hey, since you are under house arrest and can not get out in time, do you mind if I take a lot of borrowed one of your luxury cars? That is, if you think about it, basically we belong to the writers, producers, directors actors and everyone who works hard every day to make movies and TV series and are not as smart as you think is the amasses large amounts of money online making other products.[...] Hollywood must be in the dark ages. In the future, everyone should be like Megaupload: free make money from what others do create or write ...I'm tired of fooling around writing and directing things to get a decent wage when they could share the work of others over the Internet and untold amounts of money. So to even things out, I decided to start selling all their possessions on eBay starting with its collection of luxury cars. That Mercedes Brabus SV12 easily pay college tuition for my children. Logically their property not mine but if I can find a country where I can be appropriated for their things, live in a big.The truth is that statements of this writer fall into what anyone would expect and, in my view, is proof of that is stagnant business model of the industry and its reluctance to accept the rules of the game are changing or at leastthey should change and adapt to new digital media.Sources: alt1040.com ( English Version )
