Dialogue / Interview

Fredesvinda and Bardomiano, on their way to the cinema, are discussing about the disadvantages and advantages of online platforms like Megadede.

Bardomiano: And tell me, Fredesvinga, have you seen the new movie ‘Detective Pikachu’?

Fredesvinga: No! I was going this friday, but all the tickets were sold out. Maybe I could go next week, but i’m not sure. What about you? Have you seen it yet?

Bardomiano: Yeah, I saw it last night in Megadede. It was really cool! I could send you the link, if you want to.

Fredesvinga: What the hell Bardomiano. I’d never watch a movie in a website like that. My computer could be infected by some random virus, and I don’t want that to happen.

Bardomiano: But if you have a good antivirus you won’t get infected by any virus! I have a lot of experience on websites like that one, and I’ve never been infected.

Fredesvinga: But with virus or not, there’s a lot of spam. Imagine that someday i’m watching a movie with my family and suddenly a porn ad appears. That would be extremely shameful.

Bardomiano: There’s an app called Adblock. It blocks every single ad from every single website, even the ads from Youtube videos.

Fredesvinga: Okay, but what about the artists? You are basically stealing someone’s work. You must pay for it. If not, you’re streaming it illegally.
