A Village Has What All of Italy Wants: The Internet

A Village Has What All of Italy Wants: The Internet VERRUA SAVOIA, Italy — This rural hilltop village, where a 17th-century fortress is a reminder of how residents warded off invaders for hundreds of years, might seem the last place in Italy <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/it…> to find a wireless Internet connection. After all, roughly a third of Italians have never used the Internet, giving the country one of the lowest rates of usage in Europe. Residents can recall providers laughing over the phone at their request for an Internet hookup, or the perplexed look of technicians upon arriving in Verrua Savoia, where just 1,500 residents live in dozens of small settlements spread over nearly 20 miles of valleys and steep hillsides in northern Italy.[...] continua qui http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/03/world/europe/a-village-has-what-all-of-it… GLQ

ESCLUSIVO. I DOCUMENTI RISERVATI DEL GOVERNO ITALIANO SU PRIVACY E SICUREZZA IN DISCUSSIONE IL 4 E 5 A BRUXELLES. L'ITALIA PROPONE LE SUE MODIFICHE ALLE NORME COMUNITARIE SULLA PRIVACY.
by Fulvio Sarzana Dec. 2, 2014

Dec. 2, 2014

Si tiene giovedì 4 e venerdì 5 dicembre a Bruxelles il secondo Consiglio Giustizia e affari interni del Semestre di Presidenza Italiano del Consiglio dellUe. I lavori dei ministri europei sono presieduti dal Ministro della Giustizia Andrea Orlando, giovedì, e dal Ministro degli Interni Angelino Alfano, il giorno seguente. http://italia2014.eu/it/news/post/dicembre/cons-gai-4_5-dic/ LItalia ha pronto un ampio pacchetto di modifiche alle norme in tema di privacy e sicurezza, attualmente in discussione presso la UE, che il sottoscritto ha potuto visionare, e che è contenuto in tre documenti : uno state of play, un documento orientativo focalizzato sui principi dellone stop shop, ovvero dellAutorità competente a decidere sulla violazione dei dati personali, e quello più delicato che coinvolge il settore pubblico, ed è sottoposto dal Governo Italiano alla clausola di riservatezza. Il tema delle modifiche al complesso comunitario in tema di privacy ha visto gli Sherpa Italiani confrontarsi in maniera approfondita con gli altri Stati membri del Consiglio, e pur essendosi registrato un dibattito molto serrato, sembra che il dossier sia stato trattato in modo completamente diverso da quello relativo al roaming ed alla net neutrality, oggetto delincontro tra I ministri delle tlc il 27 novembre scorso. http://www.fulviosarzana.it/blog/esclusivo-i-documenti-riservati-del-governo -italiano-su-privacy-e-sicurezza-in-discussione-il-4-e-5-a-bruxelles-litalia -propone-le-sue-modifiche-alle-norme-comunitarie-sulla-privacy/ --- Questa e-mail è stata controllata per individuare virus con Avast antivirus. http://www.avast.com

Segnalo un evento per i nexiani romani o di passaggio Giulio Think Digi Tank. Strumenti digitali per la ricerca L'attività dei centri di ricerca politico-culturale è resa oggi sempre più difficile dalla contrazione delle risorse pubbliche, dall'aumento dei costi per la diffusione dei materiali, dalla distanza dalle giovani generazioni. Di fronte a tali criticità il Crs si è fatto promotore di una proposta per la costruzione di una piattaforma digitale in grado di sostenere il lavoro dei soggetti impegnati, a vario titolo, in questo campo. L'iniziativa, che ha ottenuto il contributo della Regione Lazio e intende favorire il coinvolgimento dei principali soggetti del settore (tra cui Fondazione Basso, Italianieuropei, Istituto Sturzo, Fondazione Gramsci, Fondazione Di Vittorio) sarà presentata in occasione dell'incontro pubblico "Think Digi Tank. Strumenti digitali per la ricerca politico-culturale", che si terrà il prossimo mercoledì 10 dicembre, dalle ore 15, nei locali del Coworking Millepiani, in Via Nicolò Odero 13 a Roma. Tra gli altri, hanno già confermato la loro partecipazione il vicepresidente della Regione Lazio Massimiliano Smeriglio, Vincenzo D'Andrea, esperto di partecipative design e docente all'università di Trento; Donatella Solda-Kutzman, giurista specializzata in diritto privato dell'informatica e diritto della comunicazione; il giornalista e saggista Michele Mezza; per il Centro per la riforma dello Stato, Giulio De Petra.

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18.30 - The Eureka Myth: Creators, Innovators and Everyday Intellectual Property
by Giuseppe Futia Dec. 2, 2014

The Eureka Myth: Creators, Innovators and Everyday Intellectual Property http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/12/silbey <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/sigal> <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/sigal> *Jessica Silbey, Suffolk University Law School* Today, 6.30 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live The book analyzes and elaborates upon a qualitative empirical study of artists, scientists, engineers, lawyers and businesspeople that investigates the motivations and mechanisms of creative and innovative activity in everyday professional life. Based on over fifty face-to-face interviews, the book centers on the stories told by interviewees describing how and why they create and innovate and whether or how IP law plays a role in their activities. The goal of the empirical project was to figure out how IP actually works in creative and innovative fields, as opposed to how we think or say it works (through formal law or legislative debate). Breaking new ground in its qualitative method examining the economic and cultural system of creative and innovative production, The Eureka Myth draws out new and surprising conclusions about the sometimes misinterpreted relationships between creativity, invention and intellectual property protections. About Jessica Silbey Professor Silbey's scholarship draws from her interdisciplinary background in the humanities and law. One of her interests is in intellectual property law, particularly in the investigation of "IP communities:" activities, groups and organizations with a particular creative or innovative focus. She studies the common and conflicting narratives within those communities in relation to intellectual property law and legal institutions that purport to regulate them. She is especially interested in the connections between cultural narratives of creation, discovery, incentive and labor and their legal counterparts in IP communities, statutes and legal cases. The empirical dimension of this project (conducting and analyzing interviews with artists, scientists and intellectual property professionals) will be published by Stanford University Press in 2014. Another of her interests is in the interrelationship of law and film in legal practice and popular culture. Her research and writing in this area investigates how film and video are used as legal tools and how they become objects of legal analysis. A long-time interest since she was a graduate student in literature and film, her work explores questions such as: how does automated surveillance film become testimony in a court of law? How do cultural perceptions about film and video affect their evaluation by jurors, advocates and judges? How might legal actors and lay citizens mobilize the audiovisual technology of our twenty-first century to further the promises of our justice system? A current project in this area concerns ultrasound technology and the politics of reproductive choice. Professor Silbey teaches courses in constitutional law and intellectual property. Professor Silbey received her B.A. from Stanford University and her J.D. and Ph.D. (Comparative Literature) from the University of Michigan. Before joining the faculty of Suffolk University Law School, Professor Silbey was a litigator at the law firm of Foley Hoag LLP in Boston. She also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Robert E. Keeton on the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and to the Honorable Levin Campbell on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

Fwd: [ NNSquad ] Justices probe limits of free speech over Internet
by J.C. DE MARTIN Dec. 1, 2014

Dec. 1, 2014

HT a Lauren Weinstein. juan carlos Justices probe limits of free speech over Internet (Chicago Sun-Times): http://politics.suntimes.com/article/washington/justices-probe-limits-free-… "Anthony Elonis claimed he was just kidding when he posted a series of graphically violent rap lyrics on Facebook about killing his estranged wife, shooting up a kindergarten class and attacking an FBI agent. But his wife didn't see it that way. Neither did a federal jury. Elonis, who's from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was convicted of violating a federal law that makes it a crime to threaten another person. In a far-reaching case that probes the limits of free speech over the Internet, the Supreme Court on Monday was to consider whether Elonis' Facebook posts, and others like it, deserve protection under the First Amendment."

*Google, telcos and the push for a vertically integrated non-neutral internet – Friends, not foes* November 2014 Highlights » Vertical integration of internet access with telcos’ specialized services (e.g. telco TV) and vertical integration of dominant search engines with internet search specialized services (e.g. Google Flights) are both severely restricting consumer choice, foreclose competition and harm the open internet » List of 92 vertically discriminated zero-rated mobile services in OECD » Which operator groups have already embraced vertical discrimination by zero-rating their data-hungry internet services such as film stores, TV, cloud storage and music streaming? » Which internet companies, beside Google, have joined the telcos and embraced vertical discrimination (3rd party zero-rated apps) of mobile internet access in OECD? » Google’s YouTube is being zero-rated by a European operator group. Does Google support paid-prioritization and discriminatory zero-rating? » Rewheel earlier proposed to members of the European Parliament a simple, effective and easily enforceable non-structural remedy to protect the non-discriminatory neutral nature of both internet access and internet search: For internet access we proposed unbundling internet access from operator specialized services (erecting a ‘Chinese Spectrum Wall’, prohibiting vertical discrimination) For internet search we proposed unbundling internet search from other services (erecting a ‘Chinese Wall’, prohibiting vertical discrimination) […] Continua qui: http://www.dfmonitor.eu/insights/2014_nov_premium_google/

Les militants peuvent voter jusqu'à 20h. 8h30. Luc Chatel, secrétaire général de l'UMP, a affirmé ce samedi matin sur France Info que le parti a déposé une plainte contre des cyber-attaques. «Le vote se déroule de façon satisfaisante même si nous sommes victimes de cyber-attaques depuis le début du vote. Nous savions que nous allions être attaqué. Le site internet de l’UMP a été victime d’attaques depuis plusieurs jours comme si ceux qui ceux qui nous veulent du mal nous testaient. Cela a un peu ralenti le vote mais les choses ont repris», a déclaré Luc Chatel. Sur le même sujet La Haute Autorité chargée du bon déroulement du scrutin enregistrait 11 700 votants à 22h30. Samedi à 6h30, elle n’avait constaté «aucune attaque ou anomalie significative» nouvelle, recensant «plus de 35 000 votes».
