Bono´s Controversial Words



A few days ago, Bono wrote his usual column for the New York Times. While most of the subjects he wrote about have been highly praised and taken into account, there was one that was obviously not left behind (pardon my pun!). Of course I´m talking about the one where he writes about the rights of intellectual property, downloading and the rest: Intellectual Property Developers. he called it.
Many voices raised in favour and against the issue. For example, Kris Novoselic (Nirvana´s bassit and activist for Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Actions Committee) wrote an article called : Why I Agree with Bono for the Seattle Weekly while Walter Naeslund (who calls himself Advertising Agency Entrepreneur, Professional Speaker, and Hopeless Optimist) in his blog wrote a self implicit article Why Bono is an Idiot (This Time) which has a highly repercusion in the Net especially in Twitter . Today Naeslund wrote another article Why Bono is not REALLY an Idiot, But Would Perhaps Need To Think a Little Harder . The controversy that follows confirms, in a way, the power of these Internet tools and makes us think of Bono´s words on creativity and property rights.
