abrogazione implicita?
by Simone Aliprandi Sept. 16, 2013

Sept. 16, 2013

Ripropongo un tema che ho già sollevato qualche giorno fa, ma sta continuando a creare dubbi interpretativi. Da più parti infatti è stato sollevato un dubbio sulla vigenza dell'art. 51 r.d. 1369/42. La norma non è mai stata oggetto di abrogazione esplicita, tuttavia essa fa parte di un CAPO V intitolato "Diritto demaniale" e dunque contenente le norme di attuazione di tale diritto. Inoltre l'art. 51 è rubricato come "Art. 175 della legge 633/41", dunque si pone espressamente come norma di attuazione di tale articolo. Il decreto legge n. 669 del 1996, art. 6, co. 4 (convertito in legge n. 30 del 1997) ha espressamente abolito il diritto demaniale ed esplicitamente abrogato gli articoli 175 e 176 della legge 633/41. Ne conseguirebbe (a rigor di logica e a rigor di principi fondamentali del diritto) l'abrogazione implicita di tutte le norme attuative del diritto demaniale tra cui appunto anche l'articolo 51. Il problema ha causato in rete un acceso dibattito dovuto al fatto che SIAE sul suo sito diffonde un testo coordinato e consolidato del regoalmento che invece mantiene gli articoli 51 e 55 (entrambi del CAPO V) come ancora vigenti. Al contrario, fonti autorevoli come il Codice del diritto d'autore curato dal Professor Ubertazzi e il sito Medialaws danno come interamente abrogato il CAPO V. Ho lanciato anche un sondaggio (principalmente per giuristi ma non solo), qualora qualcuno volesse esprimere il suo parere a riguardo: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2013/09/sondaggio-bordero-SIAE.html Un cordiale saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org

Roma, 4-6 ottobre, W3C, "Internet Identity Eco-system Seminar"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Sept. 13, 2013

Sept. 13, 2013

Segnalo, tra gli altri, Morozov, Rodotà e Zimmerman. juan carlos http://www.w3.org/2013/05/iie-seminar/Overview.html The primary purpose of this seminar is to develop a common background for understanding the new forms of production and valorisation based on the Internet and the emerging identity eco-system. In particular, this workshop wants to investigate the emergence and expansion of the "identity marketplace." and focusing on its implications and consequences on the economy and shifting relationships of power. During the last few years, the Internet economy has mainly developed using a business model that offers services for free to the end users, but at the same time creates profits by aggregating, exchanging, and selling personal data with implications on the users' privacy and digital rights. The principal purpose of this work is to develop a common background for understanding the new forms of production and valorisation based on the Internet. In particular, this workshop wants to investigate the emergence and expansion of the the new identity marketplace and focus on both the social and economic implications. The huge financial and technical resources needed for the worldwide processing, and managing of such a massive amount of personal information, leads naturally to the formation of global oligopolies. For example, already the internet is increasingly dominated by a small number of platforms: Google controls nearly 82% of the global search market and 98% of the mobile search market, Facebook is dominates over 90% of social networking, and Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft dominant the mobile market and cloud-based services platforms. Given this trajectory, it seems that the new identity eco-system will also likely globally be dominated by a single company or handful of competitors. Another possibility is state intervention, but so far this has not been forthcoming, although it has been revealed that state intelligence agencies like the NSA have been gathering vast amounts of personal data. Due to the complexity of the internet and the emerging identity ecosystem, much analysis so has been limited to specific disciplinary backgrounds. We are facing the difficulty of grasping this pervasive system in an holistic way where the actors involved in the production and shaping of this system (such as developers, hackers, and designers), often perceive only a very limited role, while those who develop socio-economic approaches do not understand the technical details. This initiative aims at activating a process of recomposition of subjectivities from various disciplines that will raise awareness of the stakes of the political economy of the Internet, resulting in a common vision that can lead to the creation of a constituency to work on awareness, rights, claims, self-governance issues, and technical standards: the kind of work necessary in order to preserve an open multi-stakeholder governance in the new identity eco-system.

Benkler: "Time to tame the NSA behemoth trampling our rights"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Sept. 13, 2013

Sept. 13, 2013

Ecco l'ultimo articolo di Yochai Benkler (Garante Nexa) sulla vicenda NSA. juan carlos Time to tame the NSA behemoth trampling our rights /From leaks and Fisa court papers, it's clear the NSA is a bloated spying bureaucracy out of control. It can't be reformed by insiders/ Yochai Benkler theguardian.com, Friday 13 September 2013 08.15 EDT The spate of new NSA <http://www.theguardian.com/world/nsa> disclosures substantially raises the stakes of this debate. We now know that the intelligence establishment systematically undermines oversight by lying to both Congress <http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/18/rand-paul-clapper-lying-nsa-su…> and the courts <http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/16/nsa-violated-privacy-rules-aud…>. We know that the NSA infiltrates internet <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/internet> standard-setting processes to security protocols <http://www.propublica.org/article/the-nsas-secret-campaign-to-crack-undermi…> that make surveillance <http://www.theguardian.com/world/surveillance> harder. We know that the NSA uses persuasion, subterfuge, and legal coercion to distort software and hardware product design <http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/05/nsa-gchq-encryption-codes-secu…> by commercial companies. We have learned that in pursuit of its bureaucratic mission to obtain signals intelligence in a pervasively networked world, the NSA has mounted a systematic campaign against the foundations of American power: constitutional checks and balances, technological leadership, and market entrepreneurship. The NSA scandal is no longer about privacy <http://www.theguardian.com/world/privacy>, or a particular violation of constitutional or legislative obligations. The American body politic is suffering a severe case of auto-immune disease: our defense system is attacking other critical systems of our body.

BoF: Letter to the Commission about net neutrality
by J.C. DE MARTIN Sept. 13, 2013

Sept. 13, 2013

URL di questa lettera: https://www.bof.nl/live/wp-content/uploads/20130913-ODonohue.pdf BIT OF FREEDOM - https://www.bof.nl/ European Commission Mr Pearse O'Donohue Cabinet of Vice-President Neelie Kroes per e-mail: pearse.o'donohue(a)ec.europa.eu Re: European Commission proposal on net neutrality Dear Mr O'Donohue, We are very concerned about the net neutrality provisions in the draft Regulation. Our meeting of 12 September could not allay our concerns. Firstly, during the meeting we expressed our concerns regarding the prominent role for 'specialized services' in the draft Regulation. We used the example of a 'Facebook only' mobile subscription as an undesirable service that could be offered to consumers under the draft. We explained the reasons behind this specific concern and asked you to confirm whether or not such a service would be allowed under Article 23(2) of the draft proposal. We were disappointed that you could not exclude this possibility. This has increased our concerns over the limited scope of the actual net neutrality provision in Article 23(5). Furthermore, the requirement that impairment of the general quality of internet access services should be “substantial”, although deleted in the final proposal of Article 23(2), is still present in recital 50 of the proposal, thus further confirming the concerns we shared with you during our meeting. Secondly, we asked you whether you could confirm the guarantee by your colleague Mr. Heath, via Twitter on 11 September as well as in person prior to our meeting, that the Dutch net neutrality law can remain in place as is, if the draft were to be adopted unamended. When asked for such a confirmation, you noted that Mr. Heath, an official EU spokesperson, merely 'talks to journalists', suggesting that his statements are not to be taken seriously. You also claimed that it was impossible for the Commission to issue a binding statement on this matter. We were shocked to learn that promises issued to the press and the general public by a spokesperson on behalf of the Commission on this matter are apparently deemed worthless by you. We hereby kindly ask the European Commission to confirm in writing that it considers Dutch net neutrality law to be compatible with the current draft proposal, thus guaranteeing that it will not initiate infringement proceedings against the Netherlands in relation to this law. Another issue, which we sadly did not have time to discuss, is Article 23(5)(a) of the draft proposal, which mentions the prevention or impediment of serious crimes as a ground for applying traffic management measures. This addition is already worrisome in itself, as it may have grave consequences for freedom of expression online. However, Dutch net neutrality law does not recognize crime prevention as a reason to restrict internet traffic. We would therefore appreciate if the Commission's statement regarding the compatibility of Dutch net neutrality law is extended to include this specific paragraph. Finally, as regards the tone of the meeting, in response to our sincere concerns, you acted in a rude and condescending manner. We trust you will provide us with a more constructive response in writing. We look forward to your swift reply. We will publish this letter and your response on our website. Regards, Janneke Slöetjes Ot van Daalen Cc Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs

Apple’s Fingerprint ID May Mean You Can’t ‘Take the Fifth’
by gianluca Sept. 13, 2013

Apple’s Fingerprint ID May Mean You Can’t ‘Take the Fifth’ by Marcia Hofmann There’s a lot of talk around biometric authentication since Apple introduced its newest iPhone, which will let users unlock their device with a fingerprint. Given Apple’s industry-leading position, it’s probably not a far stretch to expect this kind of authentication to take off. Some even argue <http://www.marketwatch.com/story/will-passwords-soon-be-all-thumbs-2013-09-…> that Apple’s move is a death knell for authenticators based on what a user knows (like passwords and PIN numbers). While there’s a great deal of discussion around the pros and cons <https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-9808.html#biometrics> of fingerprint authentication — from the hackability <http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/09/what-if-apples-new-phone-has-fingerpri…> of the technique to the reliability <http://weblog.invasivecode.com/post/57447455012/will-a-fingerprint-sensor-b…> of readers — no one’s focusing on the /legal/ effects of moving from PINs to fingerprints. continua qui http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/09/the-unexpected-result-of-fingerprint-a…
