Chapter 60: Judicial Impartiality is the Foundation of the Nation
As already said, all films, videos, musical novels, etc., within the Tunguska Empire, are chargeable.
These things may not be expensive, but if one person sees a lot, even first-class citizens may not be able to afford it.
In normal times, ordinary people, especially those who are not very wealthy, and even depend on state welfare. There are really very few entertainment materials that can be obtained, and you may only be able to watch a movie or something during the New Year's holidays.
It is precisely for this reason that although the empire has done a good job in terms of copyright, the development of the entertainment industry is not very good, although things can be sold the same, and the price is okay, but the popularity is still not high after all, after all, there are few people watching.
So now, Gudtenth's suggestion is undoubtedly seeking some benefits for ordinary people.
"However, once so much information emerges, or free information emerges, it is likely to have a devastating impact on the entertainment industry within the empire.
And once you see too many free things, even if the entertainment industry survives and is not destroyed, I am afraid that the later development will be difficult to predict. "Another MP from the Copyright Office, I think this proposal is very tempting, but I also have to consider the negative impact once it is actually implemented.
After some discussion, it was unanimously decided that even if these cosmic refugees might not be able to contact their home planet in the future, they could not put aside the credibility of the Empire.
Moreover, those entertainment materials, if you talk about the price alone, if calculated according to the price on the imperial side, it is more than enough to help them buy potions and make the genetic level enter the first-class citizen level.
So the discussion of using these entertainment materials in exchange for them obtaining first-class citizenship was unanimously approved. The only thing that is tangled is how to distribute these entertainment materials, whether they are distributed for a fee or for free?
At this point, the controversy is relatively large, and neither of them can convince each other.
On the one hand, it is argued that, if it cannot be distributed free of charge, then why should second-class citizens accept it, especially if they do not receive any substantial benefits.
And if they are not distributed for free, who should the fees for these entertainment materials be handed over? It is illegal to give them to the Empire or to the refugees in the spaceship. It can't be handed over to the actual creator, and the Empire can't contact the actual creator at all.
On the other hand, of course, it is believed that the free distribution infringes on the rights of the creators of these materials, and even if they cannot meet each other, it also infringes on the rights of each other.
At the same time, it is also considered that once it is truly distributed for free, it will have a certain degree of impact on the imperial entertainment industry and copyright.
Both sides have some truth, and neither can convince each other.
"You see if this will work, the government, the imperial government will buy the copyright of those entertainment materials at a low price, and then help them enter the genetic level of first-class citizens by operating the funds to buy those entertainment materials, and at the same time grant them first-class citizenship certificates.
Because those entertainment materials are purchased at a low price, those materials can be classified at that time, and if the price does not rise, they will be priced according to the original price.
According to our estimates, the final price should be very low. "Dinos eventually came up with such a method, which was not very perfect, but could cope with the past.
"However, the owners of these entertainment materials are not these refugees, and this is a violation of the rights of the owners of the materials!" The Copyright Office is still fighting, and it is completely right and not right, because they are worried that once this opening is opened, the copyright work will be even more difficult to do in the future.
Deputy Speaker Joston was embarrassed and said, "Doth, nothing is perfect in this world, and this is the best way we can think of."
As for the rights of the creators of these entertainment materials, let's talk about it after we come into contact with this civilization. ”
At this time, except for the Copyright Office, there were still some objections, and the other legislators basically approved this method. No matter how loud Doth's voice is, it is still an established rule for the minority to obey the majority.
The most important thing is that the legal provisions of the Tunguska Empire do not indicate the copyright issue of alien civilizations, and if there is a copyright issue to protect alien civilizations, even if the vast majority agree, then there is no way for this plan to pass the imperial mastermind.
The reason why they are able to do this now is because there is no such legal provision, and they believe that this decision will not be rejected once it enters the mastermind of the Empire.
It can be said that the reason why the entire Tunguska Empire was able to maintain such a hierarchical hierarchy of citizens was because of absolute legal justice.
Their legal justice is not judged by man, but directly controlled by the mastermind of the empire, all laws are written into the mastermind of the empire, written into the mastermind of the empire in as much detail as possible, and any decision, any judgment, and any legal ruling must be reviewed by the mastermind of the empire.
Many ordinary people, they are not worried about their low birth, they are worried that there is no way to climb up with low birth, there is no ladder to advance.
They are not worried that others have more decision-making power than them, they are worried about whether they can get a fair verdict when they encounter things.
Although the absolute impartiality of the judiciary is slightly different from the moral code of human nature in some respects, there is no doubt that this difference is definitely in the minority.
It is precisely because of this absolute judicial impartiality that although the imperial aristocracy has privileges in some aspects, they will never dare to infringe on the rights of other people with a relatively low level of citizenship.
Because even the speaker of the upper parliament, and even the members of the royal family, all orders issued and all decisions made must be in accordance with the letter of the law. To be precise, they are subject to greater legal constraints, their optical brain authority is greater, and the attention of the imperial mastermind is naturally greater.
Once the decision is made, someone will soon be sent to discuss it with the aliens. Although they will not be coerced, as long as they explain to them the difference between the rights of second-class civilians and first-class citizens, they should make the right choice.
In the empire, only the first class of citizens and above had the real right to vote and to be elected. They are an intermediate class between the commoners and the nobility, to a certain extent, slightly more noble than the commoners, but not as good as the nobles, and can be called the elite of the commoners.
The commoners longed to be them, and the nobles did not dare to treat them slowly.
Although the copyright office was the most opposed to this decision, when discussing the ownership of entertainment materials with those aliens, they had to come forward and say that it was not fucking or not.
