Bauwens: "Cloud Computing as Enclosure" (con link)
by J.C. DE MARTIN March 22, 2013

March 22, 2013

Cloud Computing as Enclosure <http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/cloud-computing-as-enclosure/2013/01/15> Michel Bauwens 15th January 2013 Republished <http://bollier.org/blog/cloud-computing-enclosure>from*David Bollier*: "As more and more computing moves off our PCs and into "the Cloud," Internet users are gaining access to a wealth of new software-based services that can exploit vast computing capacity and memory storage. That's wonderful. But what about our freedom to create and share things as we wish, free from corporate or government surveillance or over-reaching copyright enforcement? The real danger of the Cloud is its potential to limit how we may create and share what we want, on our terms. There are already signs that large corporations like Google, Facebook, Twitter and all the rest will quietly warp the design architecture of the Internet to serve their business interests first.*A terrific overview of the troubling issues raised by the Cloud can be found in the essay, "The Cloud: Boundless Digital Potential or Enclosure 3.0 <http://www.vjolt.net/vol17/issue3/v17i3_190_Lametti.pdf>," by/David Lametti/, a law professor at McGill University, and published by the Virginia Journal of Law & Technology.*An earlier version is available at the SSRN website. Lametti states his thesis simply: "I argue that the Cloud, unless monitored and possibly directed, has the potential to go beyond undermining copyright and the public domain -- Enclosure 2.0 -- and to go beyond weakening privacy. This round, which I call "Enclosure 3.0", has the potential to disempower Internet users and conversely empower a very small group of gatekeepers. Put bluntly, it has the potential to relegate Internet users to the status of digital sheep." [...] Continua qui: http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/cloud-computing-as-enclosure/2013/01/15

The Nexa Center for Internet & Society Joins the Global Network Initiative
by Giuseppe Futia March 22, 2013

March 22, 2013

Gentilissimi, siamo lieti di trasmettere in anteprima il comunicato con cui la Global Network Initiative<http://www.globalnetworkinitiative.org/>annuncia che il Centro Nexa su Internet & Società si unisce alla iniziativa. Giuseppe *The Nexa Center for Internet & Society Joins the Global Network Initiative* The Global Network Initiative welcomes new participant the Nexa Center for Internet & Society at Turin’s Polytechnic University in Italy. “We’re pleased to welcome GNI’s first participant from Italy, “says GNI Executive Director Susan Morgan. “The Nexa Center is a critical source of interdisciplinary research, informed by expertise in technology, law, and economics, on Internet policy from a European perspective.” On behalf of the Nexa Center for Internet & Society, Professors Juan Carlos De Martin and Marco Ricolfi said: "We are delighted to join GNI and contribute to advance the cause of human freedom on the Internet through an informed dialogue among a plurality of stakeholders. The Nexa center will bring its experience of participation in the public debate, both at the Italian and European level, on issues such as data protection, freedom of expression, transparency and corporate social responsibility." Founded in November 2006, the Nexa Research Center for Internet and Society is an independent research center, focusing on quantitative and interdisciplinary analysis of the force of the Internet and of its impact on society. Colin Maclay, GNI Board Member and Managing Director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University said: "Since its founding, the Nexa Center's leadership by example—within Italy and across Europe—has proven the power of thoughtfully blending rigorous interdisciplinary research with sustained public engagement. Their collaborative approach to taking on many of the most pressing policy issues of our time is especially timely given GNI's increasing engagement with European companies, and I am simply thrilled to have them aboard.”

Re: [nexa] open by default: qualche perplessità tecnico-giuridica
by Simone Aliprandi March 20, 2013

March 20, 2013

Torno sulla questione perchè la riflessione da me proposta nel post si è ampliata grazie ai commenti di alcuni lettori che hanno aggiunto aspetti interessanti relativi ai problemi di coordinamento tra/con gli articoli 52 e 68 CAD. Ad esempio qualcuno ha fatto notare che "il decreto trasparenza all'art. 7, richiamato l'art. 68 CAD, aggiunge che la pubblicazione avviene senza ulteriori restrizioni diverse dall'obbligo di citare la fonte e rispettarne l'integrità". E in effetti questo sembra dare un'indicazione verso uno specifico tipo di licenza. Ma non sono proprio convinto che fosse quella l'autentica intenzione del legislatore. Pare quindi che anche questa volta l'approvazione di un apparato di norme, invece di chiarire una situazione giuridica, abbia creato incertezza interpretativa. Come la vedete? [qui trovate il post con i relativi commenti: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2013/03/open-by-default-perplessita.html] Un caro saluto.
