Blocking Orders due to Copyright Reasons violate Art. 16 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, as well as Art. 11, on freedom of expression and information.
by Fulvio Sarzana
Judgment of the OLG Cologne on network blocking (18 July 2014, 6 U 192/11)
The decision of the Appellate Court of Cologne represents the first further
development of principles laid down by the CJEU in UPC Telekabel Wien GmbH
v. Constantin Film Verleih GmbH. The close assessment of various EU
Directives is of particular interest.
The close assessment of the various European Directives as well as the well
considered balancing of fundamental rights is particularly remarkable.
This judgment might pave the way for limiting an over emphasis on copyright
to the detriment of the freedom of information and the economic freedom of
copyright providers.
The Claimants, leading music publishers, requested that the Defendant, a
telecommunication service and access provider, block access to certain
internet services which allow file sharing, alleging multiple violations of
their copyrights. The Defendant denied any liability at which point the
Claimants initiated an action to seek a blocking order.
The Court Stated that: While the Defendant could be qualified as an
intermediary in the sense of Art. 8(3) of Directive 2001/29/EC this would be
limited by Art. 15(1) of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information
society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market,
which provided that Member States should not impose a duty on ISPs to
actively examine information which is transmitted through their services and
to search for illegal acts
Moreover, any such measure would be incompatible with Art. 3 of Directive
2004/48/EC which stipulates that any measures to protect copyrights has to
be fair and just.
The attempt to harmonise the economic freedom of access providers according
to Art. 16 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union as
well as Art. 11 of the Charter, namely the freedom of information with
copyright, which is protected under Article 17 of the Charter, had to also
be based on the fact that the copyright did not constitute a complete right.
In addition, the Member States had to ensure that in case of conflicting
fundamental rights a balance is struck and the principle of proportionality
met.
To request that the Defendant block access violated this principle,
particularly as it would be difficult to effectively avoid copyright
violations by way of introducing such blocking measures. In addition, it
would not be possible to differentiate between illegal and completely legal
data, and as such the freedom of information would be endangered by too
general a set of measures.

Re: [nexa] Il Registro delle Opposizioni: perché non c'è un'API gratuita?

Come accennavo, sono ignorante sul tema, anche se mi sto riproponendo di
approfondirlo, e questo è un punto su cui avevo grosse lacune. In
effetti, il Registro si presenta come interlocutore di chiunque "intende
avviare mediante il telefono attività a scopo commerciale, promozionale
o ricerche di mercato." Insomma, il distinguo che fai tu rispetto
all'origine di questi dati non viene presentato, almeno non molto
chiaramente.
Immaginavo che l'iscrizione al registro non precludesse i trattamenti
dei dati altrimenti acquisiti con esplicito consenso... ma, ad esempio,
se uno acquisisse un elenco di numeri di telefono facendo scraping del
Web, dovrebbe/potrebbe usare il Registro per verificare se e quali di
questi numeri possano essere contattati per offerte commerciali?
> Quanto alla tua proposta dell'API, il sistema macchinoso orchestrato per l'RPO (se un'azienda vuole chiamare a scopi pubblicitari numeri trovati in elenco telefonico, deve prima sottoporli alla Fondazione Ugo Bordoni, che entro 24 ore li restituirà scremati di quelli iscritti nel registro; l'elenco è utilizzabile dalle aziende per chiamate pubblicitarie per 15 giorni, dopodiché occorre ripetere la procedura) è giustificato dal fatto che si tratta comunque di un DB, come tale protetto ai sensi del codice privacy: il trattamento dei dati che contiene, giustamente, non può essere effettuato da chiunque.
L'API avrebbe l'unico scopo di dire "puoi chiamare", o "hanno chiesto di
non disturbare" in risposta ad una chiamata contenente un numero di
telefono già noto a chi invoca l'API: il trattamento del DB avverrebbe
solo ad opera di chi gestisce il registro, mentre chi fa la chiamata
avrebbe lo stesso tipo di informazione che ha oggi: "uno di cui avevi
già il numero è iscritto al registro". Personalmente, mi sfugge il
vantaggio del modello attuale, se non nel creare artificialmente un
mercato per i servizi offerti dal gestore del Registro. Insomma, imho si
può fare un'API che rispetti quanto previsto dal Codice Privacy:
"modalità tecniche di funzionamento e di accesso al registro mediante
interrogazioni selettive che non consentano il trasferimento dei dati
presenti nel registro stesso, prevedendo il tracciamento delle
operazioni compiute e la conservazione dei dati relativi agli accessi".
Comunque appena posso studio un po' di più prima di fare altre domande :-)
Grazie,

Big Data: Big Power Shifts?
C A L L F O R P A P E R S
The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society cordially
invites you to submit your research projects for the Internet Policy
Reviews' special issue on /Big data: big power shifts?/ supported by the
Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications.
Submit Your Abstract <http://policyreview.info/node/374>
TOPIC & RELEVANCE
Big data has been a major issue in internet-related public debate for
several years now and it is yet unclear what impact big data has on
societies, politics and markets. We conceive big data as constituted by
three components: the automatic generation of very large and diverse
data sets which are mainly the result of the digitisation of modern
societies, their processing by algorithms and their use for
decision-making and regulation, in the private or public sector. This
includes purposes such as profiling, monitoring, predictive analysis and
risk calculation. Mayer-Schönberger & Cukier claim that big data is a
“revolution that will transform how we live, work, and think” (2014).
But whereas revolutions imply a profound shift in power relations, there
is little scientific evidence about whether and, if so, how big data
affects power relations.
We understand power as the production, in and through social relations,
of effects that shape the capacities of actors to determine their fate.
Power opens up or closes off options to act for parties involved and it
is multi-dimensional: it is influence over others, empowerment, the
capacity to act and to self-discipline.
SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE
The aim of the special issue in the Internet Policy Review is to explore
the extent to which big data shapes society by influencing power
relations and, in return, how the development of big data-related
phenomena is itself shaped by power relations.
We welcome proposals that address power relations linked to big data
phenomena in various fields, as long as they bear a relevance to
European societies and highlight policy implications or make a reference
to regulatory debates. Papers can have both a more conceptual or a more
empirical focus. This call for papers is open to researchers from the
fields of policy studies, sociology, law, philosophy, data, information
and technology studies, economics and management and related fields.
Emerging scholars are particularly encouraged to submit a proposal.
FOCUS OF THE PAPERS
As stated above, scientific knowledge about which power relations shape
the big data society is still scarce. Yet much has been said about the
many promising and worrying aspects of a society built on predictive
analysis, machine learning and algorithmic regulation, and various
implicit and explicit hypotheses about the power effects of big data
have emerged in the academic and public debate.
* Empowerment of users/citizens/patients: Will big data empower users,
citizens and patients through applications and services (tailored
services, e-participation, e-health)?
* Power shifts and conflicts over power between actors:
o Does big data alter the power relation between states and
citizens (‘surveillance society’, ‘governing the poor’,
manipulation of voters by individualised election campaigns)?
o Do personalised marketing and the monitoring of staff affect the
power relations between companies and users or employees?
o Do new power relations between companies, political
candidates/parties or states arise due to unequal access to big
data applications?
o Does big data influence the relative importance of scientific
disciplines or professions (data analysts versus lawyers and
economists)?
* Different modes of decision-making and knowledge production: Are
current norms and practices threatened by ‘algorithmic regulation’
and the ‘end of theory’?
* Power relations shaping big data: How do power relations shape the
development of big data and the precise big data related practices,
modes of production and application fields?
* Narratives: How are big data related power relations addressed,
problematized or, on the contrary, masked?
* Regulation of big data: What regulations are relevant for big data
related power relations? What alternative regulations are proposed?
BEST PAPER AWARD
In addition to the special issue the authors selected for the best paper
award will be invited to speak at the closing lecture of the Alexander
von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society-lecture series Big data:
big power shifts? The lecture is set to be held in Berlin in April 2016
in cooperation with the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications.

R: caso Schrems e safe harbor: gli States fanno pressing sull'Europa
by Blengino
Non hanno tutti i torti, e sono anche stati gentili a non rinfacciare le vergognose pratiche che Membri UE hanno o si accingono ad approntare in tema trattamento massivo per law enforcement…
Per altro se safeharbour fosse dichiarato inefficace i primi a subir danno sarebbero le imprese europee che utilizzano servizi U.S. based, prima ancora che i grandi provider.

Safe Harbor Protects Privacy and Provides Trust in Data Flows that Underpin Transatlantic Trade
Statement | Brussels, Belgium | September, 28 2015
The United States Government and the European Commission have been engaged in a very productive and substantial dialogue to improve and strengthen the Safe Harbor Framework. The framework has been critically important to the protection of individual privacy and the conduct of commerce on both sides of the Atlantic; it has served and continues to serve as a model around the world for the protection of individual privacy and flow of data across national borders. We are optimistic that our discussions will conclude soon with a positive outcome for both sides.
The future of the Safe Harbor Framework, however, has now been called into question by the Advocate General's recent opinion in Maximillian Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner. We fully respect the European Union's legal process; however, we believe that it is essential to comment in this instance because the Advocate General's opinion rests on numerous inaccurate assertions about intelligence practices of the United States.
The Advocate General's opinion notes that it was required to accept the facts as found by the Irish High Court. There was, however, no actual fact-finding in this case; instead, the Irish High Court concluded, on the basis of exhibits to plaintiff's affidavits that the accuracy of his allegations regarding U.S. intelligence practices "is not in dispute." But that is simply not the case, as the public record made clear at the time, and as has been made even clearer in the subsequent two years.
The United States does not and has not engaged in indiscriminate surveillance of anyone, including ordinary European citizens. The PRISM program that the Advocate General's opinion discusses is in fact targeted against particular valid foreign intelligence targets, is duly authorized by law, and strictly complies with a number of publicly disclosed controls and limitations. Moreover, the Advocate General's opinion fails to take into account that -- particularly in the last two years - President Obama has taken unprecedented steps to enhance transparency and public accountability regarding U.S. intelligence practices, and to strengthen policies to ensure that all persons are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their nationality or place of residence.
The Advocate General's opinion also errs in inviting the European Court of Justice to conclude that the current Safe Harbor Framework is inadequate because the United States and the European Commission are positively engaged in an effort to strengthen it. On the contrary, the Framework was conceived as a living document, and this is not the first time that the two sides have engaged to improve its operation. On both sides, there has been a strong desire to make sure that we improve the Framework, and these efforts should be encouraged.
Moreover, the underlying issue here also goes far beyond the Safe Harbor Framework. The Advocate General's reasoning would undercut the ability of other countries, businesses and citizens to rely upon negotiated arrangements with the European Commission.
Given the important privacy and trade benefits that Safe Harbor provides to EU and US citizens and businesses, we will continue to work closely with the European Commission to improve the Safe Harbor Framework. We hope that the final judgment of the European Court of Justice takes note of these efforts, inaccuracies in and far-reaching consequences of the Advocate General's opinion, as well as the significant harm to the protection of individual rights and the free flow of information that would occur if it were to follow the Advocate General's opinion.

Libertà d'espressione: Gli Ordini di blocco per ragioni di copyright vìolano la Carta dei diritti Fondamentali della UE.
by Fulvio Sarzana
Gli Ordini di blocco allaccesso attraverso i DNS, a protezione del diritto
dAutore, vìolano gli Art 16 ed 11 della Carta Fondamentale dellUnione
Europea, sono contrari alla Direttiva sul Commercio Elettronico, e si
pongono in diretta violazione dei principi stabiliti dalla Carta
Costituzionale Tedesca.
E netta la condanna dei Tribunali Tedeschi sugli ordini di inibizione
allaccesso per i propri cittadini a protezione del diritto dautore.
Secondo la Corte dappello di Colonia, nel caso 18 july 2014, 6 U 192/11,
che riprende integralmente la pronuncia Telekabel della Corte di Giustizia
dellUnione Europea, gli ordini di blocco di questo tipo si risolvono in
realtà nella violazione dell'art. 15 (1), della direttiva 2000/31/CE.

Diritto di accesso ad Internet in Costituzione. Dall’art. 21-bis
al 34-bis passando per l’Internet Bill of Rights

think tank Cultura Democratica)
Ingresso libero
This event will be webcast live: http://nexa.polito.it/upcoming-events
In occasione del 79° Mercoledì di Nexa, insieme a *Guido d’Ippolito*,
responsabile per l’Innovazione Digitale del think tank Cultura
Democratica <http://www.culturademocratica.org/> e autore della proposta
di riforma costituzionale sull’art. 34-bis
<http://www.art34bis.it/chi-siamo/>, in discussione al Parlamento,
esamineremo i rilievi costituzionali di Internet e il rapporto, spesso
confuso e basato su falsi miti, tra il fenomeno Internet e il diritto.
Dopo uno sguardo al contesto internazionale si tornerà in Italia per
esaminare il diritto precondizione all’esercizio di ogni libertà on
line: il *diritto di accesso ad Internet*. Le problematiche di un
riconoscimento costituzionale di tale diritto saranno esaminate in un
dialogo col pubblico sulla base anche di concrete esperienze quali la
proposta di Stefano Rodotà di un art. 21-bis, la recente Dichiarazione
dei diritti di Internet
<http://nexa.polito.it/2015/07/dichiarazione-diritti-internet> e
l’attuale disegno di legge Costituzionale sull’art. 34-bis, accesso ad
Internet come diritto sociale, in discussione al Senato della Repubblica
(Diritto di accesso ad Internet in Italia su Wikipedia
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diritto_di_accesso_a_Internet>).
