Monty Python Goes Marketing 2.0

internet, Open-Source, opensource, Sosial, Teknoblogia

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, datacenter yang menghosting salah satu server saya mengirimkan sebuah surat yang mengejutkan – DMCA notice dari Lionsgate Films.ร‚ย 

Surat tersebut menuduh bahwa server saya telah terlibat dalam pembajakan salah satu film mereka, yaitu Transporter 3. Sebuah tuduhan yang sangat serius. Ditambah lagi bahwa server saya tersebut berada di Amerika, sehingga bisa diproses berdasarkan hukum mereka (yang ngawur berat itu).

Masalahnya :

(1) Saya tidak pernah membajak film tersebut ๐Ÿ˜€

(2) Server tersebut masih kosong, jadi tidak mungkin hal tersebut dilakukan oleh customer saya

Sekedar meyakinkan, saya lakukan search terhadap seluruh isi hard disk server tsb, dan hasilnya memang bersih. Lalu sambil nyengir, saya kirimkan hasilnya ke datacenter saya, yang menerimanya sambil nyengir juga ๐Ÿ™‚ sepertinya ini bukan kejadian yang pertama kali, he he.

Ajaib – memang IP address yang tercantum di surat tersebut adalah milik server saya. Tapi padahal kan tidak ada pelanggaran yang saya lakukan. Ha ha ha… ร‚ย ๐Ÿ˜€ ร‚ย sekedar mendeteksi IP address saja tidak becus.ร‚ย 

Jadi bergidik membayangkan kalau saya adalah warga Amerika – dan kena tuduhan yang keliru seperti ini. Hidup saya bisa hancur berantakan (untunglah nenek Sarah mendapat bantuan dari EFF), walaupun saya tidak melakukan kesalahan apapun.

Anyway, ini adalah salah satu alasan saya sangat mendukung gerakan Creative Commons. Nyaris seluruh foto saya di flickr.com berlisensi bebas. Juga seluruh artikel di blog ini.

Konten yang bebas bisa sangat bermanfaat bagi sangat banyak orang. Saya sudah merasakannya sendiri. Dan karena itu juga berusaha memberikan kontribusi dalam hal ini.ร‚ย 

Tidak itu saja – konten yang bebas juga menguntungkan pemiliknya secara finansial. Ini sudah terbukti berkali-kali selama puluhan tahun.

Contoh: dulu para pemilik kontek protes bahwa VHS / betamax adalah sarana pembajakan. Kemudian mereka menyadari bahwa ini adalah pangsa pasar baru.

Maka ร‚ย kemudian selama puluhan tahun, mereka meraup keuntungan yang sangat besar dari sini.

Ketika stasiun radio mulai bermunculan, para pemilik konten protes. “Ini adalah pembajakan konten kami, untuk keuntungan para pemilik stasiun radio!“, begitu kira-kira protes mereka.
Belakangan mereka menyadari bahwa ini adalah promosi gratis. ร‚ย Lagu yang sering diputar di radio cenderung mengalami peningkatan penjualan. Maka kemudian malah terjadi kongkalikong antara pemilik konten dengan pemilik/jaringan stasiun radio – untuk mendongkrak penjualan lagu tertentu.

Walaupun tetap saja mereka berusaha mendapatkan “uang preman” dari stasiun radio…. *sigh*, human’s greed know no bound, indeed.

Di tengah berbagai kekonyolan ini, sebuah kelompok yang terkenal dengan kekonyolannya malah melakukan sesuatu yang brilian.ร‚ย 

Luar biasa – kru Monty Python menyediakan berbagai klip videonya di Youtube.com, dan mengakibatkan peningkatan penjualan DVD Monty Python sampai 23000% !

Di zaman elektronik ini, ada banyak kesempatan. Dan yang akan menang adalah mereka yang kreatif. Kru Monty Python mungkin konyol, tapi mereka bukan orang bodoh & rakus. Maka mereka bisa meraup keuntungannya.

Posting ini saya cantumkan juga di kategori OpenSource, karena ini adalah juga bagian dari keterbukaan. Open software, Open content, malah juga Open hardware — keterbukaan adalah hal yang penting bagi peradaban manusia.ร‚ย 

Selama beribu-ribu tahun, manusia selalu saling membagi penemuan mereka. Sehingga peradaban manusia bisa berkembang tanpa perlu mengulang-ulang melakukan hal yang sama. Dan semua penemuan jadi bisa bermanfaat bagi semua pihak – bukan cuma untuk segelintir orang saja.ร‚ย 

Selamat dan salut sekali lagi kepada kru Monty Python. Semoga teladan yang baik ini bisa ditiru oleh kita semua !

  102. For those who cannot read in Indonesian, I translate the post for you in to English. Here you are:

    Monty Python Goes Marketing 2.0
    Some time ago, the datacenter is hosting one of my server sends a letter that surprising – DMCA notice from Lionsgate Films.

    The letter alleges that my server has been involved in the hijacking of one of their films, which is Transporter 3. A very serious accusation. Plus more that my server is located in the United States, which can be processed according to their law (the heavy nonsense).

    Problem:

    (1) I never hijack movie

    (2) Server is still empty, so maybe it is not done by my customers

    Just make sure, I did search the entire contents of a server hard disk they will be, and the results were clean. Then with a grin, I send my results to the data center, which also accepted with a grin like this is not the first incident, he he.

    Magic – is the IP address listed in the letter is the property of my server. But when there’s no offense that I do. Ha ha ha …: D just detect the IP address alone is not incompetent.

    So if I shudder to imagine the American people – and got a false accusation like this. My life can fall apart (luckily Grandma Sarah got help from the EFF), although I did not make any mistakes.

    Anyway, this is one of the reasons I strongly support the Creative Commons movement. Almost all my photos at flickr.com freely licensed. Also the whole article on this blog.

    Free content can be very useful for very many people. I’ve felt it myself. And because it also tries to contribute in this regard.

    Not only that – a free content owners also benefit financially. This has been proven many times over the decades.

    Example: first the owners protested that the context of VHS / Betamax is a means of piracy. Then they realized that this is a new market share.

    So then for decades, they reap huge profits from here.

    When radio stations began to appear, the content owners protest. “This is a hijacking of our content, to the benefit of the owners of radio stations!”, So protest about them.
    Later they realized that this is free promotion. The song is often played on the radio tended to have increased sales. So then in fact there collusion between content owners with the owner / network of radio stations – to boost sales of a particular song.

    Although they are still trying to get the “money thugs” from the radio station …. * sigh *, Human’s Greed know no bound, indeed.

    In the midst of this silliness, a group known for its foolishness actually do something brilliant.

    Extraordinary – Monty Python crew provides various video clips on Youtube.com, and result in increased DVD sales of Monty Python to 23,000%!

    In this electronic age, there are many opportunities. And who will win are those who are creative. Monty Python crew might be silly, but they are not stupid & greedy. So they can reap the benefits.

    I put this post also in OpenSource category, because this is also part of the disclosure. Open Software, Open content, Open hardware as well instead – transparency is essential for human civilization.

    Over the millennia, humans always share their findings. So that human civilization can be developed without the need to repeat the same thing. And all the findings could be beneficial for all parties – not just for a few people.

    Congratulations and once again salute to Monty Python crew. Hopefully a good example of this can be imitated by us all!
