Music

Of some who went out to become pirates

It looked as if the new party was going to represent the interests of the youth in a completely non-political way: Free, free music legally for all. For example, with the famous Kulturflatrate, which some philistines, however, already again preferably under the supervision of ARD and ZDF duly wanted to see collected by the GEZ. The term "pirate" actually has a positive connotation: Freebooters of knowledge or pirate radio stations, which bypass restrictive telecommunications legislation to broadcast hot music from the high seas, free software, free encyclopedias… – or just a bland party with free beer?

Once upon a time I was a revolutionary, a lamp cleaner by marital status; I walked in revolutionary step with the revolutionaries.

Discussion about the EU legislation on the protection of intellectual property

In the legal margin of the European Parliament, the copyright directive is now negotiated to give recommendations for the tuning provided for the next month in plenary. A group of 400 musicians under the name "Artists Unite for Strong Copyright" occur, has already filed a petition at the European Parliament in order to better protect intellectual property by casting and better protection measures against illegal copying.

Copyright injuries are intended to make millions of losses in the music industry, with currently websites offering music with the standard MP3 for downloading, in the center of criticism. "We do not criticize the internet", Says the French musician Jean-Michel Jarre, who survived the petition, "But we believe that there are reasonable protection measures." For the politicians of the European Parliament, the date had come to take a posture and to ensure that the Art Copyright regulations allow the European artists and musicians to be successful in the digital age.

The way of a party into boring

At the end of 1979, Alfred Hilsberg in the magazine Sounds proker the term new German wave for a series of bands that were very different, but had together not held themselves to musical dogmas of the spades of 1970s. What projects such as the plan, German-American friendship and Palais Schaumburg began within a relatively transparent circle of interested parties, the munich was a good two and a half years later in Nena. Nena was commercially extremely successful – and all that on the mainstream and at the gecasted hollander inner ribbon of the spades of 1970s, with whom the music industry was so boring and concluded the music shop at that time,. Only in liver sausage, instead of in blast pants.

In the Pirate Party, which generally achieves double-digit values in surveys, seems to be a similar development: the pirates are more and more similar to the established parties. This shows, for example, in the new core topic Consumer Protection, where non-contract asymmetries are addressed, which allowed the telephone business models with cost traps and with the "Intelligent current payers" even significantly more federal castles could provide four- or five-storey shock calculations without increased consumption. Instead, one propagates the old immobility that the electoral gifts are in the preserved manner: The problem is explained to the minor matter and one calls instead of subsidies for electrical apparatus, which must not be created with RWE or with Siemens.

Our senses influence each other. Experiments with mice show why blind people hear and feel better

In the end everything is one. The objects in our perception – respectively. their mental and neuronal representations – appear as units acting on different senses and yet always remain the originators of perception. I can see, hear, feel, smell and in special situations also taste a person, and thus experience characteristics of this person.

But in the beginning, everything seems to be separate. I can only hear the music on the radio, only see the landscape outside the train window, only smell the silence in the subway. Each sensory modality is apparently recorded and processed separately. Only the finished pictures, noises, smells and foot impressions are connected to representations in a way that is still puzzling and not the subject here – presumably via the synchronous and fast firing of widely interconnected neurons from the involved brain areas.

Control bulk models do not protect from losses

For a week, not only media, but also interested burgers have been dealing with the so-called "Paradise Papers": 1.4 terabytes of data on how celebrities can save controls by offshore service providers and law firms such as Estera and Appleby in 19 Financial Oases, which must pay less prominent contemporaries (cf. Parasite papers. Very much attention is the prominent musician Paul David Hewson Alias "Bono vox", which had shown particularly striking as a virtue signalerizer and representatives of a juste milieu.

Ohren mill promises Spotify to its users who want to pay something more. The price betrayed the streaming platform yet. Access to high-fidelity audio – called Spotify Hifi – will be made via a separate subscription. The service will be this year, for now but only in "selected market" be available, Spotify shares with.

With Spotify HiFi, the user gets access to a sound quality that corresponds to one CD. Competitive platforms such as Tidal already offer this now. Currently, Spotify users can access files in 320 kbps encoding, compared to the CD with 1411 KBPs. Despite this improvement, Spotify will be back behind the competition. Tidal achieved in his "Master plan" Even 9.216 kbps. Interestingly, this difference is only for music enthusiasts who have recoverates to can use the sound in extremely high playback.

Competitor Amazon already has its offer in 2019 "Amazon Music HD" Started, while Apple has no high-definition audio mode in its services. Spotify might make his hi-fi offer more interesting and therefore pages cooperations with loudspeaker manufacturers. But even here the company remains guilty.
