我和台大老友蒙奇利用空閒時間翻的一點點小品,
看到變成電子報發佈, 感覺其實還挺有趣的.

From: 傳播學生鬥陣電子報第三０五期

"全世界的下載者，聯合起來"




在這音樂下載違法與否的十年戰爭間，法國少年Aziz Ridouan，
這位”新世代的網路消費者代表”，儼然也已成為違法下載的新抗辯代表人物。

IN THE debate over laws governing music downloads here,
some condemn Aziz Ridouan as an advocate of criminal piracy
while others say he represents the new generation of online consumers.

在討論之前，先來聽看看對Ridouan有所認識的人們，對於這個18歲高中生的看法：
『大家最好是留心注意Aziz的主張，他幾乎就是這整個世代的代表…』

法國最大的消費者權益促進團體 - Federal Union (消費者聯盟)
的經濟部門主任Julien Dourgnon這麼表示，

『他可能還只是個學生，但Aziz對於版權法規的認知，恐怕比大多數律師與議員們還要精深…。』


In either case, just about everyone involved listens to what Ridouan,
an 18-year-old high-school student, has to say.

"All sides must listen to Aziz, because he has an entire generation behind him,"
said Julien Dourgnon, economic director of the Consumer's Federal Union,
one of the largest consumer advocacy groups in France.

"He may still be in high school,
but Aziz has a more profound understanding of copyright law
than most lawyers and members of parliament."



關於音樂的管理法案，現在必須面臨到法國的立法組織與一般大眾兩造的相反意見，
法國的國民議會目前正通過的法案，將迫使蘋果電腦及其他公司任何可供線上音樂下載的mp3產品，
都必須承擔使用者付費的責任，而持反對意見的參議院已著手催生法律效力較弱的替代法案。


Proposals to govern music piracy have faced a roller-coaster ride through both
the French legislature and public opinion here.

The National Assembly passed legislation that could force Apple Computer
and other companies to make songs bought on their proprietary online services
playable on any MP3 device.

The Senate, responding to corporate arguments against such openness,
appears ready to approve a weaker version of the law soon.


12歲起就遊說抗議群眾對美國線上(American on line)發起抗爭行動的Ridouan，
現在也引起了法國媒體的注意，在這2004年他被稱為”Audionautes”的領銜人物。

Audionautes是一個非營利性質的協會組織，姑且可翻譯成"音樂的衝浪者"
提供因下載音樂而官司纏身的人們法律協助，
這些人們通常是遭到Civil Society of Phonographic Producers的起訴。


Ridouan, who began lobbying with protests against America Online when he was 12,
first came to the French media's attention in 2004 as the founder
of the Audionautes — which roughly translates as "the audio surfers".

The Audionautes is a non-profit association that provides legal assistance
to those accused of illegally downloading music,
many of whom were taken to court by the Civil Society of Phonographic Producers.


Ridouan說：「當我發起這一議題時，
很多政治人物甚至還不知道所謂”下載”(downloading)一詞是啥玩意…。」

「我的角色通常是負責向政治人物與群眾說明，時下像我一樣的高中生平常到底都在做些什麼…。」


"When I started raising the issue, many politicians didn't even know the term
'downloading',"

Ridouan said.

"My role often involves telling politicians and audiences
what high-school students like me are doing today."



在五月份起學校放假後，在發起數百人的抗議遊街活動前，
他花了五天到巴黎與議會成員開會並在大眾媒體上露面。

法國社會黨黨員Christian Paul說道：

「Aziz鼓勵人們發起這場守舊派唱片工業對音樂下載的戰爭。
很快的，音樂唱片產業就會學到，他們必須接受Aziz和他身後所代表的這個世代。」


When he was on vacation from school in May,
Ridouan spent five days in Paris meeting members of parliament and juggling
media appearances before leading several hundred protesters
through the streets of Paris.

"Aziz has been courageous in fighting the medieval-style
crusade the music industry runs against music downloaders,"


said Christian Paul, a member of the Socialist Party.


"Sooner or later the music industry will learn they need to adapt
to Aziz and his generation."
