The fight against illegal filesharing goes on and the new Digital Economy Act has made even stronger rules against it. However, DigiProtect, a German digital rights company along with British law firm ACS: Law seemingly has turned this fight into a witch-hunt, as it were when it sent letters to alleged infringers informing them that they have committed infringement of copyright by sharing files illegally, and in some instances, threatening legal action and asking for compensation.

This has not gone down well with a majority of the people as even BPI, who had strongly supported stronger copyright law, has also stated its disapproval of such measures, stating that legal action should never be the first step. Further, even the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is not happy about the role played by ACS:Law and is now looking into the matter. DigiProtect, on the other hand, has defended its actions, telling the BBC that this approach is the only effective mode of enforcement of copyright.

Still, while defending its stance, DigiProtect has stated that there have been some mistakes in identifying the violators. The processes used to identify the illegal filesharers is automated, and the company has accepted that some of the people whom ACS:Law contacted might not have broken any rules. It may happen that those people are the initial point of contact but not the infringers. DigiProtect says that in such cases, it would then like to know how the infringement took place and would act accordingly.

A friend told me once, I would like to give you a piece of advice: “Don’t listen to advice!” May I give you some advice on how to relate to all learn to play guitar advising on the net.

I stand amazed when I see all fitness equipment being advertised on TV and I wonder, how is possible that ads on fitness incessantly is showed on TV and expensive equipment is sold? Is it the same people who buy these expensive things or is it new fresh buyers all the time?

Is it something wrong with the fitness training equipment? I don’t think so. Is it something wrong with all advice on guitar playing on the net or in books? I don’t think so.

See it this way; We are susceptible to advice or advertising because we are searching for something. Sometimes we are searching for something that doesn’t exist.

I think that we sometimes are searching for a quick solution to a problem. Sometimes there is a quick solution and sometimes you just have to work on a problem over an extended period of time. The guitar book you bought is probably a good book. You just have to work on the guitar lessons until you master them. One at a time with concentration.

Sometimes we are in reality seeking for the motivation to do something, like exercising our body or learning to play guitar. A new book on guitar playing or a new piece of training equipment might motivate us for a while but sooner or later our motivation will decrease if it is built upon new things only.

People are different and learn things in different ways. Some people can easily set their own goals and also work on achieving these goals over a long period of time. Others need a lot of help in order to organize themselves. Maybe they need a tutor and ordinary lessons to help them progress as guitarists.

What advice will I give you founded on the previous thoughts?

It is okay to buy training equipment if you like it. It is okay to buy a lot of learn to play guitar books and DVD’s if you feel good about it and can afford it. You might also help the market to flourish and so on.

The important question is; What do you want to accomplish? Is your main interest to test new guitar educational books and DVD’s or do you want to progress as a guitarist?

If you reflect over these questions and are honest with yourself you will find out your ultimate goal. If you want to progress as a guitarist and want to try out if you can do it all by yourself you can make this test on yourself:

Look through your guitar books or DVD’s and choose one exercise or lesson you want to work on. Give yourself a decent homework and decide on a deadline. Follow the advice in your books. Congratulations, if you can work this way! It will save you much time and money not having to pay a guitar teacher.

However, I strongly suggest that you every now and then visit a good guitar teacher to advise you! An experienced guitar teacher will spot your weaknesses in seconds and will encourage you to climb upwards as a guitar player.

As a final thought I just want to suggest that maybe the cheapest training equipment is yourself and the most overlooked fitness exercise is doing push-ups because we give up on it so easily.

If you start doing one push-up everyday for a week and the next week two you will after a year be able to do 52 push-ups everyday. Don’t believe me, but try it if you like! After all, it is only a piece of advice…
