The Declarations

Marko Txopiteak has written an article in Gaur8 entitled Bertsolaritza libre; today, yesterday, forever: "Bertsolarismo, unlike other types of music, has remained far from the vicious circle of economic benefits and, fortunately, this has meant maintaining its original character (...) If, as many other musicians do, bertsolaris also began to exploit copyright, it would cause quite a lot of problems (...) Considering that we are in the era of Web 2.0, I miss a couple of things. For example, provide recorded audio and video in podcast format. It is a very small change and helps to spread the content more widely. And if too much content is collected, instead of offering all the information on a website, it is possible to use P2P networks, so that the bertsolaris contribute to the dissemination of the contents (...) To consolidate this free nature of bertsolaria, to proclaim it proudly to the four winds, these websites should abandon the restrictive copyright and use a free license (...) Let’s see if the Bertsolaris Association starts studying this topic..."

 

Angel Epaltza writers in The New: "Since the books I have written for a long time are being translated, it has happened to me more times to think how will a Catalan, French, Spanish understand this? But, remember, I have the first readers: the Basques. However, I have the feeling that those who read me in other languages come to thank me more (...) To be a writer you don’t have to live from it. Having another job and being with people gives stories. In the end, we are thieves.”
