HADOPI RIP
by Philippe Aigrain June 10, 2009

June 10, 2009

Between journalist calls, I am pleased to let you know that our Constitutional Court has censored the full sanction element of the HADOPI law. Even more remarkable if one believes the following news item, the Constitutional Court has created a wonderful case law that defines Internet access necessary to the practical exercise of fundamental rights (expression, communication), stating that it can not be restricted by sanction or imposition of technical means. It has taken language from both the Lambrinidis report and teh Bono-Cohn- Bendit-Roithova amendment. Cheers ! Philippe Hadopi censurée par les Sages lefigaro.fr 10/06/2009 | Mise à jour : 16:58 | Commentaires 13 | Ajouter à ma sélection Le Conseil constitutionnel a censuré l'essentiel de la loi Hadopi. Les Sages ont retiré à la commission de protection des droits de l'Hadopi tout pouvoir de sanction. Elle ne pourra donc plus avoir qu'un caractère d'avertissement. De plus, le Conseil a estimé qu'Internet était un droit fondamental, qui ne pouvait être restreint que par un juge de l'autorité judiciaire, et non pas de l'ordre administratif comme ceux d'Hadopi. Enfin, ils ont jugé qu'Hadopi instaurait une présomption de culpabilité incompatible avec le droit français. Extrait de la décision du Conseil constitutionnel : "les articles 5 et 11 de la loi déférée confiaient à la commission de protection des droits de l’HADOPI des pouvoirs de sanction l’habilitant à restreindre ou à empêcher l’accès à Internet à des titulaires d’abonnement. Ces pouvoirs pouvaient donc conduire à restreindre l’exercice, par toute personne, de son droit de s’exprimer et de communiquer librement. Dans ces conditions, le législateur ne pouvait, quelles que soient les garanties encadrant le prononcé des sanctions, confier de tels pouvoirs à une autorité administrative dans le but de protéger les titulaires du droit d’auteur. Ces pouvoirs ne peuvent incomber qu’au juge".

June 5, 2009

Buonasera a tutti, vi segnalo che venerdi' 26 giugno 2009 si terra' presso l'Aula Magna del Politecnico al Lingotto il 3rd Creative Commons Technical Summit Questa terza edizione, ospitata dal Centro NEXA su Internet & Società (http://nexa.polito.it) del Politecnico, segue alla prima (giugno 2008) presso il campus di Google (California) e la seconda (dicembre 208) ospitata da ll'MIT (Boston). Maggiori informazioni alla URL: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Creative_Commons_Technology_Summit_2009-06-… cordialmente, juan carlos de martin Creative Commons Technology Summit 2009-06-26 Creative Commons is a non profit organization that builds tools that help realize the full potential of the commons in the age of digital networks. Launched at the end of 2002, Creative Commons licenses have set the standard for sharing cultural works (i.e., "content", "media", etc.), following in the footsteps of free and open source software. Over the past five years we have also actively developed and contributed to technologies that complement its public licenses, with the aim of using software to enhance the discoverability and practical [re]usability of content -- to help users manage content, as opposed to software designed to help content manage users (i.e., DRM). In 2006 Creative Commons launched Science Commons, a project applying similar principles to science and research. ccLearn was launched in 2007 to help minimize barriers to sharing and reuse of educational materials. Creative Commons holds its third technology summit on June 26, 2009 at Aula Magna Lingotto - Politecnico di Torino in Turin, Italy. Creative Commons Technology Summits are a forum for exploration of technology built upon and enhanced by Creative Commons licenses and work in the Semantic Web arena. The NEXA Center for Internet & Society is a multidisciplinary research center of the Politecnico di Torino founded in 2006 to study the Internet and to pioneer its development.

[HADOPI, FR] EDRI-Gram: French Government hurries to put HADOPI law into application
by Andrea Glorioso June 5, 2009

June 5, 2009

Da EDRI-Gram numero 7.11, 3 Giugno 2009 ============================================================ 5. French Government hurries to put HADOPI law into application ============================================================ No sooner has the three strikes law been adopted that the French government issued CCAPs (special administrative specifications) and CCTPs (special technical specifications) which were sent by the Ministry of Culture to the candidate enterprises to put into function the information system of HADOPI. The call for tenders was sent since the beginning of the year even before the Hadopi law was adopted, the notification date having been set for 5 June 2009 with a deadline on 1 July 2009 for a first prototype of the graduate response system. A draft calendar foresees the application of the Hadopi law in stages starting with 5 June 2009 until 31 March 2010. In the beginning, Hadopi will send only written recommendations by e-mail at a rate of about 100 infringing cases per day after which, when the treatment is completely automatic probably in September 2009, the number of cases will increase to 1000 per day reaching 10 000 when the prototype is finalised in 2010. A calendar of actions is left however at the choice of the candidates, the CCTP mentioning that "the offers will be assessed in terms of the closeness of the proposed calendar as compared to the target calendar". The ministry is not concerned with costs or means but only with speed. The candidates will have a rather difficult task as the beta-test will last only two weeks before the first warnings and the blocking bugs will have to be corrected in one day, otherwise they will face sanctions. There is also the result obligation, the operator taking the responsibility in case of problems and having to compensate Hadopi in case of delays or malfunctions. There is no provision for the moment that Hadopi makes sure, before issuing a warning or a sanction, that illegal downloading has effectively taken place from the IP address of a suspected Internet subscriber. It appears that between the IP address collection phase and the warning or sanction phase there will be a "notarisation and sampling" phase. The notarisation phase means the "qualification of the data and the recording of essential elements of the transaction from a trustworthy third party" meaning the recording of all the elements proving the downloading or rather making copyrighted material available. "The content, origin, receiving date, the sender's identification key and the destination of the file are essential elements" says the CCTP. Sampling means Hadopi would retain only some of the complaints received in order to deal mostly with those of higher interest. An algorithmic system will allow targeting potential recidivists as a priority. Hadopi does not take into account the presumption of innocence and only needs to be certain of the reliability of the IP address lists on the basis of which it would give warnings and sanctions. Hence the provision of attaching a "chunk" of the file to every submission of a case in court which would be a material proof of the infringing. However, such a provision raises practical and economical problems. The CCAP and CCTP do not precise either the criteria based on which Hadopi will decide on recidivism in order to send another e-mail, registered letter or give sanctions. It is only mentioned that a "study of the reiterations is carried out so as to bring out the following elements for each subscriber: infringement stage (1st, 2nd, 3rd.); type of actions taken or sanctions given by the High Authority: time interval between each infringement; and type of works concerned". There are also very little details as to what are the means of appeal for the sanctioned Internet users. It is provided that an appeal can be made by means of an electronic form or by mail and that the appeal may lead to informing the ISP of the obligation to re-establish a suspended subscription. On the other hand, no observations can be brought by a subscriber before the sanction stage. For the time being, Hadopi continues to be criticised and contested. On 15 June, a concert evening against the graduate response will take place with several groups of artists supported by Numerama, co-organised by Réseau des Pirates and Owni.fr, in partnership with Vendredi Hebdo and International and supported also by Slate, Agoravox, LePost, Ivox, 22mars, Social Média Club, j'affiche and ZikNation. The evening will include the projection on films dealing with Hadopi, the new models to remunerate artists, the protection of numerical freedoms, a debate on the topics as well as music moments. "The problem with HADOPI is triple: it does not bring more money to artists, it touches the fundamental rights and finally it opens a breach into net neutrality allowing private interests to get hold of a judge in order to oblige an access provider to censure part of the net. This law stigmatises the Net which is however an incredible chance for the music to get renewed. (...) A new model must be invented and the technological evolution must be accompanied rather than rowing against it. This is what the public politics serve for, not to protect an industry where 5 multinationals make a trust of the entire market and refuse in a single voice to accept the challenge," was the statement of Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin / Waterhouse Records that will participate in the event. Exclusive: Hadopi will target as a priority the potential recidivists!

Balzac.tv presenta 15 minuti di introduzione a Creative Commons (e al copyleft in generale), in spagnolo e in inglese, con interventi di Joi Ito, di Gerfried Stocker (Ars Electronica), Gerd Leonhard (MediaFuturist.com, bravo!!!) e Ronaldo Lemos. Nulla di incredibilmente nuovo, ma ben comunque vivamente consigliato, soprattutto -almeno per quello che mi riguarda- per gli interventi di Stocker e Leonhard (forse perche' erano gli unici che non avevo ancora sentito parlare, non so): http://balzac.tv/episodios/2009/06/03/la-belleza-del-copyleft/ juan carlos

Juan Carlos, mi sfugge una cosa, relativa alla prima parte della notizia. Supponendo ovviamente che NON SPARISCA la figura del magistrato di sorveglianza che deve autorizzare l'operazione (se cambia l'ordinamento della giustizia il discorso può essere del tutto diverso...), in cosa si differenzierebbe questa intercettazione Internet da una classica intercettazione telefonica in uso da sempre?

The French Government wants to spy on electronic communications ============================================================ On 27 May 2009, the law on orientation and programming for the performance of the domestic security (Loppsi) was presented by Mich?le Alliot-Marie to the French Council of Ministers. The law will give the French police the possibility to physically or remotely install spying software to listen to electronic communications and introduces the Internet filtering by administrative decision. According to the text, the Criminal Investigation Police will be allowed to place on a suspect's computer a sort of internal or external USB key which will send data to the computers of the authorities. The police may also remotely install Trojans which will give access to all the data in a computer in real time. The police will be allowed to make use of these tools only in "the most severe cases" which however include "support given to the illegal entry and residence of a foreigner".

The spyware can be installed for a four-month period that can be renewed once. The examining magistrate's control would be a positive thing as the examining magistrates are independent from the Ministry of Justice and are free to take decisions, in terms of the gravity of the investigation. However, if the justice reform project of the French Government comes into being, the examining magistrates will disappear which means that the responsibility to authorize spyware will come to the prosecutor of the Republic. The law also obliges ISPs to block access, "without delay", to sites included on a list drafted under the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The list will not be made public and therefore it will be impossible to contest and this will create the risk of abuses. In order to prevent contestations, for the beginning, the law will target the paedophilic contents with the declared purpose to "protect the Internet users from child pornography images". The operators will have to introduce in their network software that will stop any connection to sites having a pedophile character that will be listed by the police. The French Government will always be able to extend the target by a simple decree. The text also stipulates severe sanctions for the ISPs that do not observe the law providing a fine up to 75 000 euro and a year of imprisonment.
