The RIGHT to Share. Based on the widely-recognized and seldom-disrespected human rights to enjoy and memorize works of art one can access, and to grant and accept access to them, this article legitimate right to preserve access to works, to convert works to different formats and media, to download and to upload works on the Internet, and to receive and to share works in P2P networks. The full enjoyment of these human rights amounts to self defense against the constant attacks to them.
We shouldn't feel guilty or ashamed for sharing and downloading digital files. However, the brain washing promoted by the publishing industries of music, cinema and software twists our notions of right and wrong. Confused and scared, we give up rights and accept restrictive laws that serve their greed, in detriment of society. Arguing that so-twisted laws prove us wrong and guilty, they seek even more legal power over us, while pretending to have it already. But they don't, and they can't, as long as our human rights are respected.
The right to enjoy
Article 27. (1) Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
– Universal Declaration of Human Rights, December 10, 1948
