Robin Thicke - Something Else (Star Trak/Interscope - 2008)

Ma chronique du dernier album de Robin Thicke m'a valu ce mail de félicitations de Blogger:

"Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog infringes upon the copyrights of others. The URL(s) of the allegedly infringing post(s) may be found at the end of this message. The notice that we received from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and the record companies it represents, with any personally identifying information removed, will be posted online by a service called Chilling Effects at http://www.chillingeffects.org.

The IFPI is a trade association that represents over 1,400 major and independent record companies in the US and internationally who create, manufacture and distribute sound recordings (the "IFPI Represented Companies"). The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. We are in the process of removing from our servers the links that allegedly infringe upon the copyrights of others. If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits.

Voilà, je crois, le genre même d'absurdité (tous les disques chroniqués dans ce blog ont été légalement acheté en magasin et sont là pour inciter mes quelques lecteurs à faire de même) que nous réserve le futur avec la loi HADOPI: un internet balayé aveuglément par les robots automatiques d'ayants-droits paranos, paniqués et aigris par la perte de maîtrise d'un modèle économique obsolète. Il est quand même amusant de recevoir ce genre de mail pour avoir parlé en bien d'un produit et non pour l'avoir téléchargé sauvagement de façon illégale. Et pendant que l'IFPI claque du pognon pour faire effacer le post d'un obscur blogueur français (franchement, j'aimerais connaître le coût nominal d'envoi de ce mail), elle n'a toujours trouvé aucune idée innovante pour se sortir de la merde. Faut-il en rire ou en pleurer? Mais bon rassure-toi Robin, je continuerais à acheter tes disques.
