Cyber Bullying and
Bullfighting, Bad Traditions of Tragedy!
Bullfighting is
a very old spectacle, originating somewhere in Spain. The Matador and the bull,
being the main focus, have a destined end. One of them is destined to die if not,
at the least, become very badly wounded. So it is with cyber bullying or
pirating. The area of interest in cyber pirating/bullying is to manipulate,
and/or monopolize territory of some kind; either through a trademark, copyright
infringement or some form of IP tampering.
China has one of
the largest impacts of cyber pirating in the world. They are so threatening in
this area that they have become callous and shameless in the practice of cyber
pirating, as it was the case of Panavision vs.
Toeppen.
Here are two of
the most impacting statements of concern for what China is doing across the
Internet. This is a statement of Dmitri Alperovich, vice-president of McAfee,
and he states,
"I am
convinced that every company in every conceivable industry with significant
size and valuable intellectual property and trade secrets may have been
compromised, with the great majority of the victims rarely discovering the
intrusion or its impact Tkacik.”
The threat is so
menacing that China brings causes alarm behind the power hungry staging of
monarchy according to Mr. Tkacik’s documentation.
Former Director
of National Intelligence Mike McConnell, former Secretary of Homeland Security
Michael Chertoff and former Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn spelled it
out as clearly as they could: China's economic and industrial espionage and
cyber warfare capacities are able, "to cripple our critical
infrastructure, including financial networks and the power grid. Now . . . the
threat of economic cyber espionage looms even more ominously Tkacik.”
In effect, China
is building an economical front that could bring the world to the mercy of
China by their sheer wealth. The reasoning for engaging in extraction of
another nation’s military strategies and buying the substance of nations is to
leave those nations helpless and void of their resources. At that point China
could turn on any country, and make war on them, having the economic advantage
to subdue one nation at a time.
Such is the
style of bullfighters; the matador taunts the bull for a period of time, and
mocks the strength and animalistic nature of the bull. At some point, before
the matador loses their strength, he strikes the bull, setting up for the kill
and soon, the fatal blow.
Cyber theft is
being practiced against TV and film industry, music, the Internet and computer
gaming industry, phone and software industry and it seems like almost nothing
is untouched IP
Damage Control. This causes a hard hit to the expected economy of IP, but
an even worse affect to the people who looked to gain from their property, and
are dismayed. This is, in part, due to the lack respect, and then laws and
deterrents are not strong enough yet to segue the efforts of pirating and
bullying.
The point is,
any faction of people or world power, that is cyber pirating or bullying, is
capable of destruction of IP. When something is taken, once belonging to someone
else, without permission, a law is not the only scale of determination. That
action is still a moral issue of theft, with a consequence of destruction.
Intellectual
property is of a personal nature, when it is taken, borrowed and/or exploited
by someone other than the source creator, tragedy takes place. Knowing that, theft
has occurred. Such a thing is able to be distinguished, to a point of
retribution, by the law of reciprocity at some time or another. Like the number
of times the matador plays with the bull, before the fatal strike. Either the
quickness of the matador, or the bull’s defiance of too much taunting by the
matador, the show will come to an end. So the consequence of such cause and effect
will come the laws of natural mankind, in the form of writing clear and
deliverable statutes.
