Can We Harness the Internet to Collaboratively Write Better Laws?

by Federico Guerrini

There is no question that the reviled anti-piracy bills, known as SOPA and PIPA, were terrible. The ways in which they were terrible have been explained across the Internet. But understanding how they were bad is not the same as understanding *why* they were so bad, and the reason extends beyond these particular bills to a persistent issue with intellectual property laws and regulations more generally: the asymmetry of input during the drafting process. In the drafting of SOPA the public and, importantly, the tech community were not consulted<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/11/public-shut-out-stop-online-piracy-ac…>during hearings. When the process is so imbalanced, the results will be imbalanced as well. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/02/can-we-harness-the-in… -- www.federicoguerrini.com Il mio ultimo libro: Vivere Social http://www.bol.it/libri/Vivere-social.-Manuale/Federico-Guerrini/ea97888971…

Guardian: "Facebook's nudity and violence guidelines are laid bare"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Facebook's nudity and violence guidelines are laid bare Nipples are rude but crushed limbs are OK -- a document leak has revealed the social network's attitudes to sex and violence # Charles Arthur <http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/charlesarthur> # guardian.co.uk <http://www.guardian.co.uk>, Tuesday 21 February 2012 16.36 EST Facebook bans images of breastfeeding if nipples are exposed -- but allows "graphic images" of animals if shown "in the context of food processing or hunting as it occurs in nature". Equally, pictures of bodily fluids -- except semen -- are allowed as long as no human is included in the picture; but "deep flesh wounds" and "crushed heads, limbs" are OK ("as long as no insides are showing"), as are images of people using marijuana but not those of "drunk or unconscious" people. The strange world of Facebook's image and post approval system has been laid bare <http://gawker.com/5885836/facebook-releases-new-content-guidelines-now-allo…>by a document leaked from the outsourcing company oDesk to the Gawker website, which indicates that the sometimes arbitrary nature of picture and post approval actually has a meticulous -- if faintly gore-friendly and nipple-unfriendly -- approach.

"Occupy the public domain"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Occupy the public domain Jennifer E. Rothman Monday, February 6, 2012 If you celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by watching the "I Have a Dream" speech on YouTube, you broke the law. Or at least that's what the Martin Luther King Jr. estate contends. It claims that if you want to legally watch a video of the Rev. King's copyrighted speech - one of the most important speeches in our country's history - you need to pay its foundation $10. Instead of providing for sharing such important moments, our government has been complicit in endorsing a vision of copyright law in which nothing is free for use by the public.

Sulla parte diffamazione non mi pare però innovativa, la ricostruzione fatta dal giornalista della potenziale applicazione a tale caso non mi pare innovativa (verità, continenza ed interesse pubblico, pur con qualche variante interpretativa sono da anni parametri base nella valutazione le lesioni dell'onore da parte dei media). Semmai bisognerebbe riflettere sull'idea di attendibilità delle fonti, ma non mi pare che la norma vada così nell'analitico. AM -- Avv.
