Thomas Madsen Mygdal’s presentation at Shift shows how framing issues is very important in how they are perceived. Language shapes our thought.
The slide on pirates is especially telling:
Pirates
A girl giving a friend a copy of a cd
Doing an interesting playlist
A guy recording a song from the radio
A criminal making money from duplicating cd’s
P2P Filesharing
The spreading of culture across the globe
Our individual right to copy
Borrowing somebody a dvd
Copying a dvd to your computer
Sharing the memory of an experience
Millions of people sharing movies and music
