01net. - Sony BMG poursuivie par un éditeur de logiciels français PointDev

La nouvelle ne manque par de piquant. La société PointDev poursuit pour contrefaçon Sony BMG, une major souvent montée au créneau pour faire respecter les droits de ses artistes, notamment en matière de piratage sur Internet. La maison de disques aurait ainsi exploité le logiciel dadministration pour serveurs et postes clients sous Windows, Ideal Migration, sans avoir contracté les licences nécessaires.

ouarf ouarf !

Et dans la série Fela Kuti, les paroles d'une chanson au thème éternel et brûlant :

SORROW, TEARS, AND BLOOD

Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Some people lost some bread
Some one nearly die
Some one just die
Police dey come, Army dey come
Confusion everywhere

Seven minutes later
All done cool down, brother
Police don go away
Army don disappear

Dem leave Sorrow, Tears, and Blood (2x)
Dem regular trade mark
*(CHORUS) DEM REGULAR TRADE MARK
Dem regular trade mark
*(CHORUS) DEM REGULAR TRADE MARK

Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Some people lost some bread
Some one nearly die
Some one just die
Police dey come, Army dey come
Confusion everywhere

Dem leave Sorrow, Tears, and Blood (2x)
Dem regular trade mark
*(CHORUS) DEM REGULAR TRADE MARK

La, la, la, la

My people self dey fear too much
Dem fear for the thing we no see

Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Some people lost some bread
Some one nearly die
Some one just die
Police dey come, Army dey come
Confusion everywhere

Seven minutes later
All done cool down, brother
Police don go away
Army don disappear

Dem leave Sorrow, Tears, and Blood (2x)
Dem regular trade mark
*(CHORUS) DEM REGULAR TRADE MARK
Dem regular trade mark

Explication d'un des textes de Fela Kuti (WATER NO GET ENEMY)

The "water" is the Nigerian common people. The Government/Military must not make enemies of the populous, nor disturb their "flow" (endevours & routines)- as it is dangerous to make an enemy of the country's most essential resource. The people make everything happen.

Nothing exists without water
Water does not gain enemies
because if you fight (renounce)water, you will die

Power cannot exist without the people…
