You've used the copyrighted yet?

When the Intellectual Property Law takes effect from July 1, 2006, it is time for each book, every software you use must pay a certain amount for copyright. Are you benefiting or economically damaged when you have to spend money buying 'real things'? How can I still use good and cheap stuff to ensure respect for the author? .

When copyright becomes the standard "pro" working system

A friend of mine is working at a media company, and once in a foreign country, he updated the copyright control program properly. The Italian partner immediately stopped the meeting and asked to install the copyrighted software before continuing .

The book reader must receive the publication with the spirit of "remembering the tree-planter".

95% of Vietnamese users use software 'pagodas' that put us ahead of two challenges: one is software technology and domestic innovation is difficult to develop, the other is not internationally recognized.

On June 22 and 26, Hanoi People's Court of Civil Court tried to hear the case of Pham Thi Ha journalist suing Culture - Information Publishing House. The result of this publication will be responsible for copyright infringement when using the work to publish books without permission of the author. This is not an exception in current publishing activities in our country but will be a big milestone before the Intellectual Property Law takes effect from July 1, 2006.

In this regard, poet Doan Thi Lam Luyen, Vice President of Copyright Office of Literature shared: ' The creator is like a diligent gardener. The book reader must receive the publication with the spirit of "remembering the tree-planter". In the advanced countries, the trees on the road come out, no one gathers and the fruits fall off. They conceived that: they should not pick fruits if they have not paid for the cultivators '.

In response to Ms. Luyen, Phan Hoai Nam, NEU students affirmed: ' Now we' read 'our update capabilities via Firefox browser, listen to digital music, read' Lexus and Olive trees . ' . The time when young people look at other people's styles through respect for copyright, then the pro system will be: ' Have you used copyrighted products ?'

Vietnam currently has 92% of people using products that have not purchased copyright, calculated on the overall products: music, books . The software sector alone is about 95%.( According to BSA )

Thus, soon after, consumers, both students and students, may have to pay an additional fee at the beginning of the year named: copyright fee, which is used for photocopying books and lessons. Each photocopy service must pay a general copyright fee. Reading books at the library also pays copyright fees . A book or software you use must pay a certain fee for copyright.

The government will tighten hands on managing intellectual property to promote WTO accession negotiations, economic development and Vietnam's position. Chances are a sudden day someone will knock on your computer door and check if your software is copyrighted. Maybe you are choosing to buy a new book "off the shelf" at Dinh Le (Hanoi), your book will be revoked as if you are selling tax evasion goods .

What do young consumers say?

* Le Don Khue, student K50 CA University of Technology :

I personally use win license version, feel happy when updating comfortably. But that is a laptop available, otherwise I would have bought an 8k disc. Even overseas, my friend used unlicence roaring. CA only checks periodically.

There must be a banking system and a development account, the purchase and sale of new software is clear and controllable. This, the infrastructure in Vietnam has not developed enough.

* Trần Trung Kiên, Cergy Pontoise University - France :

In France, a Win XP disc is 300 euros. This price is too high compared to Vietnam, can not be applied. The more important issue is people's consciousness, they consider it an obvious problem, a habit.

Compared to a 10k disk with a whole bunch of software, no one has reduced the license price to a minimum. And on this side, my classmate, who has the money, buys software to use, without money, then goes to school using the built-in computer, so it doesn't stop.

* Nguyen Manh Cuong, Faculty of Mathematics - Informatics, University of Natural Sciences :

$ 300 is the normal price but the versions for experts cost $ 1000. Reducing the price is still cheap with pirated discs. Moreover, if the price is applied to different people and regions, then everyone will come to buy cheap place to buy a house and then send the CD-key for me to install.

That is, my people will find ways to circumvent the law. And Vietnamese companies will not buy in a hurry, they wait to see if they will be fined or not punished. etc. wearing a helmet. Unless Microsoft offers more super-attractive services when buying a new license, it is possible to apply the law effectively on every object (!).

* Nguyen Van Thach, Agriculture University HN :

Recently, I heard the case of a professor in some university because I used the translation materials of another person to make my curriculum and suggested very imposing names of the words 'compiled' so I was sued. The professor also, that is, many syllabuses for students to violate the law seriously because I saw teachers extracting these books and other books, this newspaper reported a lot.

* Hoang Chung - Philosophy Student :

The students were used to running out to the school gate to impart carefree documents. Books online are also numerous. There are so many supermarkets free download books, how many software hacked files that only cost a few thousand internet books illegally sold full of sugar with attractive sea like 45-50% off the cover price. The quality of books is also good, beautiful paper, hand-delivered several times is considered to be stored up and used less. So with pockets of money but eager to learn, students have to accept books that violate the law.

The expert spoke up

* Mr. Do Huy Hoang, Director of Marketing of Microsoft Vietnam : The advantage lies in how to use technology

A modern desktop that is not in the latest browsers always updates, setting up many programs that lie at the individual technology usage.

If you know how to use technology, you will save a lot of money and have many other benefits. For example: You pay for a technology tool that supports or trains you. Suppose you pick up the phone to call, lose the cost for the phone; stored on the machine, when search is lost money for the time spent working .

Instead of picking up electricity and having a YM chat tool, the company also saves a lot of costs. Or a company that wants to open a training class must have a private room, hire a lecturer . But studying online will save everything .

If you want to save high quality music files, you must download Window Media 11. This software controls copyright. Moving forward, the new software will automatically control copyright. If you think: I spend money to buy copyright, I will only see money from the bag.

What type of young people are inventing? The answer is selling young rice. I know there are many passionate young people who have created inventions such as weather forecast on mobile phones, playing chess . And you still create products on programs such as Photoshop, Autocad . not yet purchased. copyright, when finished products, pass hands to use, copy .

Thus, the way of thinking about copyright is not serious (just doing to play). How to use non-serious technology (do it on copy software, copy some steps). It is boring to do it without being bored, so it is like selling young rice.

* Ms. Doan Thi Lam Luyen, poet, deputy director of Vietnamese Literature Authorship : The error is not read by the reader.

Books and booksellers do not pay due attention to the rights of the author to write the book like that. Young people have no errors in reading or buying pirated books.

It is necessary to establish a new order in the management and enforcement of copyright in Vietnam. The most important is the monitoring of these heads. Including organizations representing copyright protection, more closely to ensure benefits for members. Like every author has a lawyer, the doctor is always concerned, not having to worry about the kitchen publishing, only having to worry about creating and integrating well.

5 cheap ways for using copyrighted software

- Buy a computer and prompt the store to install copyrighted software.In addition to the installation cost of about $ 100, instead of spending about $ 300 if you buy and install yourself.

- Using school computers and facilities.

- Group of students with work needs. For example, a group of 3 Architecture students, divided into 3 copyrighted programs, specialized cad, photoshop . Like a bicycle, a car, an airplane. Everyone equipped with enough vehicles but sometimes just riding a bike is enough.

- Make the right investment: If using the latest versions: Window XP pro 150 $, LacViet $ 20, Office pro $ 200, free typing, total $ 360 / computer.

- But if only using low-life versions, clearly list the needs: Internet, email, text, spreadsheets, listen to music, games, movies . Depending on the demand, losing money is serious, will only lose about $ 90 but still good.
