http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/roy-blount-say-yes-to-goog… June 24, 2009, 6:10 pm Roy Blount: Say Yes to ‘Google Books’ By Motoko Rich <http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/author/motoko-rich/> Google’s settlement with authors and publishers over its scanning of millions of books contained in several university libraries has come under fire recently from critics who argue that Google is effectively creating a monopoly of digital versions of books. The criticism has centered on so-called orphan books <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/04/technology/internet/04books.html?scp=2&sq…>, out-of-print books that are still in copyright but for which rights holders cannot be found. On Wednesday, in an open letter to members, Roy Blount <http://www.authorsguild.org/advocacy/articles/roy-blount-on-google-orphans.…>, the president of the Authors Guild, argued that such criticism was unwarranted. “I would generally rather be a dissenter, myself, than not,” he wrote. But, he added: “I can’t see any reason to dissent from the settlement over the matter of orphan books.” These books, he said, are being given an opportunity with the Google settlement — the chance to see the light of day and find readers again. “Google is essentially being accused of cornering the market on the unmarketable,” Mr. Blount, the author of “Longtime Leaving” and “Alphabet Juice.” “To prevent a monopoly of the orphans, the dissenters would undo a wide range of benefits to authors, publishers and readers,” he concluded, appending a list of benefits of the settlement. The Google settlement is currently the subject of a Justice Department inquiry and is also subject to court review.

Aidro.org: "Creative commons oltre gli usi gratuiti"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

http://www.aidro.org/Paginedettaglio/VIS_News.aspx?IDUNI=op4wzryatlwkyw45k3… Creative commons oltre gli usi gratuiti Le licenze Creative commons consentono a un qualsiasi avente diritto di concedere agli utenti una serie ben specificata di diritti a titolo gratuito, garantendo al tempo stesso il controllo dei diritti morali e la possibilità di limitare l'estensione dell'uso gratuito. Ma come sono gestiti i diritti che vanno oltre quelli "rilasciati" gratuitamente? L'esempio più tipico è quello delle licenze "creative commons non commerciali". Se incontro ad esempio una foto pubblicata in Internet con questo tipo di licenza e voglio sfruttarla commercialmente, cosa debbo fare? Finora lo schema di gestione delle CC non forniva risposte a questa domanda. Oggi le cose si modificano, grazie ad una iniziativa della società di gestione diritti USA CCC-Copyright Clearing Center (con la quale AIDRO collabora attraverso lo scambio di repertori), denominata OZMO, presentata nei giorni scorsi a Madrid durante l'incontro del "Digital Issue Forum" di IFRRO. Qualsiasi produttore di contenuti digitali che utilizza licenze CC plus può creare in modo semplice, tramite un editor web, una propria licenza di utilizzo delle proprie opere non limitata agli usi gratuiti. Per quelli commerciali gli utilizzatori interessati possono acquisire tramite CCC i diritti d'uso, secondo i termini e le condizioni fissate dall'autore, che riceve i redditi derivanti sulla base di rendiconti periodici. Le licenze sono associate ai contenuti tramite un semplice link, analogo a quanto avviene con le licenze CC, così che se incontrano il logo di OZMO a fianco di quello CC gli utenti sono immediamente messi in grado di raggiungere tutte le informazioni necessarie per un riutilizzo anche commerciale del contenuto. L'iniziativa dimostra come le licenze CC ribadiscano l'importanza dei diritti degli autori, in primis e da sempre quelli morali, ma - a partire da questa iniziativa - anche quelli patrimoniali. Se taluno ha giocato sull'inglese copyright per proporre le CC come copyleft, si potrebbe forse dire che con le Creative commons l'author's right, il diritto d'autore, è ribadito come the author is right, l'autore ha ragione, dal momento che mantiene il giusto controllo della propria opera. 08/06/2009

Re: [nexa] New Harvard Business School working paper "File Sharing and Copyright"

by Enrico Bertacchini

Ho letto con piacere il working paper di Oberholzer-Gee e Strumpf sul file sharing e trovo che abbiano fatto un lavoro eseemplare sia come survey sul tema, sia sulle problemetiche inerenti alla misurazione dell'impatto del file sharing sulla produzione creativa e sui ricavi del settore discografico e cinematografico. Dal momento che avevo in mente per i prossimi mesi di lavorare su questo tema all'interno delle attività di Nexa e dato l'avanzamento dello stato dell'arte a cui si è giunti su questo argomento, penso che sia giunto il momento di tentare di applicare le argomentazioni di Oberholzer-Gee e Strumpf al caso italiano. Negli ultimi anni sono infatti usciti alcuni studi sull'impatto del file-sharing in Italia. Come minimo, tutti questi lavori possono essere riesaminati alla luce delle conclusioni di questi due autori. Nel migliore dei casi, potremmo anche noi fare un po' di analisi empirica sul contesto italiano, se possibile. In questo modo, il centro Nexa potrebbe dare un contributo al dibatitto e soprattutto dare una visione sul tema per il caso italiano. Grazie A presto Enrico J.C.

Re: [nexa] New Harvard Business School working paper "File Sharing and Copyright"

by Philippe Aigrain

There are so many things each day, that it is almost impossible to stay in touch with the avalanche of fact, analysis and proposals. Quite fascinating times when suddenly there is such switch in the balance of ideas. The day before yesterday and yesterday, I was in two debates with heads of collective management societies in France (the one dealing with institutional video and multimedia publishing and the one dealing with film / audiovisual / theatre) and in each there was a true revolt of a significant number of artists (film- makers in these cases) against the reiteration of dogmatic oppositions by the managers of status quo. Let's hope policy follows or the disappointment / disaffection will be terrible. For the timebeing, our Culture Minister seems to be heading at full speed for a new censorship in Constitutional Court : she proposes a new law to reintroduce the censored sanctions. Banning from the Internet would be introduced as a third possible sanction for IP infringement in addition to prison and fines. The HADOPI would transmit to the correctional courts the case of repeated "infringers" and these courts would use judiciary ordonnances to sanction without audience and hearing the case. Everything in the law (penal code) and the case law says that ordonnances can not be used for such matters. The CEDH would condemn such usage with probability 1. Philippe Le jeudi 18 juin 2009, J.C.

New Harvard Business School working paper "File Sharing and Copyright"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4062/125/ (original paper is at http://www.hbs.edu/research/pdf/09-132.pdf ) Economists Felix Oberholzer-Gee and Koleman Strumpf have just released a new Harvard Business School working paper calledFile Sharing and Copyright that raises some important points about file sharing, copyright, and the net benefits to society. The paper, which includes a helpful survey of the prior economic studies on the impact of file sharing, includes the following: 1. The data indicates that file sharing has not discouraged creativity, as the evidence shows significant increases in cultural production. The authors note that: Overall production figures for the creative industries appear to be consistent with this view that file sharing has not discouraged artists and publishers. While album sales have generally fallen since 2000, the number of albums being created has exploded. In 2000, 35,516 albums were released. Seven years later, 79,695 albums (including 25,159 digital albums) were published (Nielsen SoundScan, 2008). Even if file sharing were the reason that sales have fallen, the new technology does not appear to have exacted a toll on the quantity of music produced. Obviously, it would be nice to adjust output for differences in quality, but we are not aware of any research that has tackled this question. Similar trends can be seen in other creative industries. For example, the worldwide number of feature films produced each year has increased from 3,807 in 2003 to 4,989 in 2007 (Screen Digest, 2004 and 2008). Countries where film piracy is rampant have typically increased production. This is true in South Korea (80 to 124), India (877 to 1164), and China (140 to 402). During this period, U.S. feature film production has increased from 459 feature films in 2003 to 590 in 2007 (MPAA, 2007). Given the increase in artistic production along with the greater public access conclude that "weaker copyright protection, it seems, has benefited society." This is consistent with the authors' view that weaker copyright is "uambiguously desirable if it does not lessen the incentives of artists and entertainment companies to produce new works." 2. The paper takes on several longstanding myths about the economic effects of file sharing, noting that many downloaded songs do not represent a lost sale, some mashups may increase the market for the original work, and the entertainment industry can still steer consumer attention to particular artists (which results in more sales and downloads). 3. The authors' point out that file sharing may not result in reduced incentives to create if the willingness to pay for "complements" increases. They point to rising income from performances or author speaking tours as obvious examples of income that may be enhanced through file sharing. In particular, they focus on a study that concluded that demands for concerts increased due to file sharing and that concert prices have steadily risen during the file sharing era. Moreover, the authors' canvass the literature on the effects of file sharing on music sales, confirming that the "results are decidedly mixed." The authors were one of the first to challenge the early claims about the effects of file sharing. Years later, many other economists have followed suit (including the study funded by Industry Canada). This latest paper does a nice job of expanding the discussion, by using the data to examine incentives for creativity and the effects on aggregate creator and industry income.

La Quadrature: "Lettre ouverte aux pro-HADOPI"

by Juan Carlos De Martin

http://www.laquadrature.net/fr/lettre-ouverte-aux-pro-hadopi Suite à la décision du Conseil Constitutionnel neutralisant la loi HADOPI <http://www.laquadrature.net/fr/hadopi-le-conseil-constitutionnel-censure-la…>, les co-fondateurs de La Quadrature du Net ont envoyé une lettre ouverte aux députés qui l'ont votée : ---------------------- Madame la députée, Monsieur le député, Le coeur du dispositif de « riposte graduée » instauré par la loi « Création et Internet », dite « HADOPI », que vous avez votée le 12 mai dernier était, selon le Conseil constitutionnel dans sa décision datée du 10 juin 2009, contraire aux principes de séparation des pouvoirs et de présomption d'innocence, mais également restrictive des libertés d'expression et d'information et du droit à un procès équitable. Nous vous avions alerté à de multiples reprises sur ces points au cours des mois qui ont précédé son examen. Vous étiez naturellement libre de ne pas suivre notre avis pour vous forger le vôtre. Mais au-delà de nos propres inquiétudes, ce sont des centaines, sinon des milliers de citoyens, dont nombre de vos électeurs, qui vous ont également alerté sur ces aspects extrêmement préoccupants pour le bon équilibre de notre démocratie. Nous savons que de nombreux députés qui ont approuvé le projet de loi avaient de profonds doutes sur la compatibilité du dispositif proposé avec les droits fondamentaux. Mais les instructions de « silence dans les rangs » relayées par divers responsables ont eu temporairement raison de ces doutes. Il est très inquiétant pour l'avenir des libertés individuelles en France qu'il ait pu en être ainsi malgré les critiques émises par tant d'institutions, d'analystes et de citoyens contre le projet, et malgré l'importance des enjeux dont témoigne la sévérité de la décision du Conseil constitutionnel. Ainsi, pour le Conseil constitutionnel, *« Considérant qu'aux termes de l'article 11 de la Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789 : " La libre communication des pensées et des opinions est un des droits les plus précieux de l'homme : tout citoyen peut donc parler, écrire, imprimer librement, sauf à répondre de l'abus de cette liberté dans les cas déterminés par la loi " ; qu'en l'état actuel des moyens de communication et eu égard au développement généralisé des services de communication au public en ligne ainsi qu'à l'importance prise par ces services pour la participation à la vie démocratique et l'expression des idées et des opinions, ce droit implique la liberté d'accéder à ces services »*. C'est cet attachement aux valeurs fondamentales de notre démocratie et à son bon fonctionnement que nous avons été des milliers à vous rappeler. Nous avons sans cesse souligné que la régulation d'Internet, ce formidable moteur de croissance économique et sociale, pouvait emprunter d'autres voies, respectueuses des libertés autant que soucieuses des conditions d'existence de la création. Les libertés individuelles des citoyens connectés en réseau seront de nouveau, prochainement, menacées. Nous espérons sincèrement que les logiques de parti et les pressions de lobbies ayant un intérêt à restreindre les libertés fondamentales pèseront à l'avenir moins que la mission de protection de nos concitoyens qu'implique votre mandat électif. Nous nous tenons à votre disposition, comme nous l'avons toujours été, pour discuter avec vous de ces passionnants enjeux, si structurant pour l'avenir de nos sociétés, et vous prions d'agréer, Madame la députée, Monsieur le député, l'expression de notre considération distinguée. /Jérémie Zimmermann, Philippe Aigrain, Gérald Sédrati-Dinet, Benjamin Sonntag Co-fondateurs de La Quadrature du Net/

Quindi, a partire gia' dal prossimo, mercoledi' 8 luglio 2009, i mercoledi' di NEXA inizieranno alle 18 in punto e si concluderanno entro le 20 - sempre in corso Trento 21 al primo piano. Confermato anche lo streaming. Colgo l'occasione per annunciare che nel corso del prossimo mercoledi' (l'11°) verra' presentato il libro "Copyright digitale" alla presenza degli autori: http://www.giappichelli.it/home/978-88-348-9465-1,3489465.asp1 cordialmente, a presto, juan carlos

Carissim*, per me, arrivando da Ivrea, sarebbe l'ideale. Grazie! Norberto On Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:12:10 +0200, J.C.

Siiiiii!! :-))) Trovo che sia un'ottima idea. Lasciare l'ufficio alle quattro e mezza del pomeriggio comporta - almeno per me - dei problemi spesso inaggirabili. Un'alternativa potrebbe essere fare come il Berkman: durante la pausa pranzo, al sacco. Ciao, Irene 2009/6/11 J.C.

Personalmente trovo che sia un'ottima idea. nicola -----Messaggio originale----- Da: nexa-bounces(a)server-nexa.polito.it [mailto:nexa-bounces@server-nexa.polito.it] Per conto di J.C. DE MARTIN Inviato: giovedì 11 giugno 2009 18.12 A: nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it Oggetto: [nexa] spostamento di orario per mercoledi' di NEXA Carissimi, in diversi hanno chiesto di spostare a ora un po' piu' tarda i mercoledi' di NEXA, ovvero dalle 18 alle 20, anziche' dalle 17 alle 19, in modo da facilitare coloro che lavorano con orari un po' rigidi. All'incontro di ieri, folto di participanti, c'e' gia' stato un sostanziale consenso preliminare. Possiamo quindi procedere? Pensate che il nuovo orario possa facilitare una partecipazione ancora superiore? grazie juan carlos _______________________________________________ nexa mailing list nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it https://server-nexa.polito.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nexa
