We listened to powerful talks and took inspiration from amazing people <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5f…>. We are now back and there is plenty to talk about: from the Digital Agenda Assembly to a country that is crowdsourcing its new constitution. But there is more to find out in our newsletter and on PdF Europe blog <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5…>. And we hope to hear from you, too! /Andrew Rasiej, Micah L. Sifry and Antonella Napolitano/ * *Europe gets geeks - does it, really <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5…>* The Digital Agenda Assembly concluded its works last week gathering 1300 people from all over Europe to discuss the key points of the Digital Agenda, the EU strategy for the digital economy. But were all the stakeholders there? * *Crowdsourcing a new constitution <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5f…>* In the past few years Iceland, a small island closer to Greenland than to Europe, has been known mostly for the collapse of its economic system and for the eruption of its volcanoes. But despite the very difficult situation, the country firmly believes in public participation and in the power of social media to be *the* medium to better shape it. * *mySociety.org evaluation reports <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5f…>* After years of successful projects aimed at raising civic awareness, mySociety.org commissioned a detailed analysis of two of its most successful projects, TheyWorkForYou and WriteToThem. Researcher Tobias Escher from the Oxford Internet Institute conducted the studies, with many interesting findings. * *The Open Data Challenge is over <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5f…>* The Open Data Challenge, Europe's biggest data competition, ended with the announcement of the winners during the Digital Assembly in Brussels. The topics vary from improving mobility and transportation to fighting corruption, from the evolution of EU legislation to mapping carbon dioxide emissions. The competition had 430 entries from 24 EU countries. Find out more about the winners. * *VoteWatch.eu and the complexity of a MEP's job <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5…>* Votewatch.eu is an independent organization that aim to promote better debates and transparency in EU decision-making. Recently they have introduced another interesting tool, VoteMatch.eu, that seems to sum up the sort of complexity MEPs face on an everyday basis. Give it a try.

sull'AGCOM
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 20, 2011

June 20, 2011

Segnalo l'ultimo articolo di Guido Scorza. jc 19 June 2011 E' scontro sulla nuova disciplina AGCOM sul diritto d'auore. La relazione annuale <http://www.agcom.it/Default.aspx?message=viewrelazioneannuale&idRelazione=27> del Presidente dell'Autorità Garante per le comunicazioni nella quale è stata ribadita l'intenzione di adottare le annunciate nuove regole sull'enforcement dei diritti d'autore online e la controrelazione <http://www.punto-informatico.it/3189928/PI/News/copyright-versione-della-so…> con annessa presentazione di un "libro bianco" sul diritto d'autore organizzata da alcuni esponenti della società civile hanno riacceso il dibattito sulla questione. In un articolo infuocato <http://www.punto-informatico.it/3189928/PI/News/copyright-versione-della-so…> e dai toni -- occorre rilevarlo senza reticenze né timidezze come ha già fatto Luca Nicotra -- decisamente inappropriati, i Commissari AGCOM Antonio Martusciello e Stefano Mannoni si scagliano con inaudita violenza e veemenza contro quanti, sin qui, hanno rilevato e denunciato i limiti ed i rischi di derive anti-costituzionali e liberticida del regolamento che l'Autorità si avvia ad adottare. /Sbornia demagogica/, /pressapochismo/ e /tirate di propaganda e disinformazione/ sono alcune delle espressioni scelte dai due funzionari dell'Autorità per le Garanzie nelle comunicazioni per difendere la propria posizione contro quella della società civile o, almeno, di una parte di essa. La posizione dei due commissari AGCOM è, peraltro, la solita vecchia , noiosa, non documentata, apodittica e fuorviante filastrocca secondo la quale, l'Italia, avrebbe bisogno -- e con urgenza -- di una nuova rigorosa disciplina sull'/enforcement/ dei diritti d'autore perché la dilagante -- ma mai misurata -- pirateria online rischierebbe di /volatilizzare/ migliaia di posti di lavoro.
