Digital Agenda for Europe: consultazione

by J.C. DE MARTIN

http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=DigitalAgenda The digital world brings high-speed change to the daily lives of everyone, everywhere. The leaders of EU Member states have decided to work together to ensure that Europe benefits fully from the digital revolution and that all citizens enjoy the fruits of the digital age. On 19th May, therefore, the European Commission launched the Digital Agenda for Europe, an ambitious action plan for a digital economy. The Digital Agenda will contribute significantly to the EU's economic growth and spread the benefits of the digital era to all sections of society. The Digital Agenda for Europe proposes a number of collective actions which must start now and continue over the next decade if we are to make "every European digital" –a digitally-empowered individual, with secure online rights and privacy protection, equipped to benefit from a vibrant and integrated digital EU market-place. Making this happen will require the active involvement of national, regional and local actors from all parts of society: government and business, citizen groups in all sectors from health and education to transport and energy, thinkers and - above all - doers. If you believe that you and the organisation in which you work or cooperate have a stake in the digital future, now is the time for action. If you decide to do something, anything that supports the many important goals set out in the Digital Agenda, then we would like to ask you to register your intentions below. The European Commission office in each country will be holding at least one session on the Digital Agenda for Europe. The information you provide will allow us to better prepare the sessions and shape them according to your interests. //////////////// juan carlos

NYTimes: e' etico scaricare la versione digitale di un libro che ho comprato?

by J.C. DE MARTIN

March 29, 2010 E-Book Dodge By RANDY COHEN <http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?ppds=bylL&v1=RANDY%20COHEN&fdq=199601…> /I bought an e-reader for travel and was eager to begin "Under the Dome," the new Stephen King novel. Unfortunately, the electronic version was not yet available. The publisher apparently withheld it to encourage people to buy the more expensive hardcover. So I did, all 1,074 pages, more than three and a half pounds. Then I found a pirated version online, downloaded it to my e-reader and took it on my trip. I generally disapprove of illegal downloads, but wasn't this O.K.?/ C.D., BRIGHTWATERS, N.Y. An illegal download is --- to use an ugly word --- illegal. But in this case, it is not unethical. Author and publisher are entitled to be paid for their work, and by purchasing the hardcover, you did so. Your subsequent downloading is akin to buying a CD, then copying it to your iPod. Buying a book or a piece of music should be regarded as a license to enjoy it on any platform. Sadly, the anachronistic conventions of bookselling and copyright law lag the technology. Thus you've violated the publishing company's legal right to control the distribution of its intellectual property, but you've done no harm or so little as to meet my threshold of acceptability.
