Fwd: [ NNSquad ] Well known Internet technologist [NOT!] and MPAA head Dodd slams Google

by J.C. DE MARTIN

E' a suo modo affascinante (non nel senso positivo della parola) constatare come certe tattiche retoriche siano usate quasi verbatim sia in Italia (per, per esempio, il provvedimento AgCom) sia negli USA. juan carlos -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ NNSquad ] Well known Internet technologist [NOT!] and MPAA head Dodd slams Google Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 12:29:43 -0800 From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren(a)vortex.com> To: nnsquad(a)nnsquad.org Well known Internet technologist [NOT!] and MPAA head Dodd slams Google http://j.mp/rsRIMQ (Variety) Vint Cerf, recognized as one of the fathers of the Internet and Google's chief Internet evangelist, warned of "likely harm" to the Internet itself from the effort. The worry is that by trying to create a wall between foreign rogue sites and users in the U.S., efforts to block domain names will interfere with the Internet's core architecture. But Dodd calls such alarms "exaggerated hyperbole." - - - As far as I'm concerned, Dodd's own hyperbole borders on fascism. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren(a)vortex.com) http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com

Creative Commons: "Version 4.0 – Public Discussion Launches"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Version 4.0 – Public Discussion Launches Diane Peters, December 9th, 2011 *http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/30676 * We are pleased to announce the beginning of the public discussion process that we expect to result in version 4.0 of the Creative Commons license suite. Timeliness and Opportunity The 4.0 discussions held at the2011 Global Summit <http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29237>confirmed for CC the need to commence the 4.0 discussion process now if we wish to consider issues relevant to important would-be adopters in a timely manner. Asexplained following legal sessions at the Summit <http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29639>, version 3.0 is working (and will continue to work) really well for many adopters, but the reality is different for others. The treatment of sui generis database rights in the 3.0 licenses continues to be a show-stopper for many, including governments in Europe. This fosters an environment in which custom licenses proliferate, inevitably resulting in silos of incompatibly-licensed content that cannot be maximally shared and remixed. But there exist still other reasons for pursuing 4.0 at this time, including the desire to adjust the licenses to more fully support adoption by intergovernmental organizations and those looking for a more internationally-oriented license suite. CC BY, Version 3.0 <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/> The consequence of not addressing these challenges now is one of opportunity — bridging these differences sooner rather than later (where possible) is always advisable, especially if a more inclusive commons may result. For those fond of version 3.0, rest assured that CC will continue to support existing and future implementations and adopters that rely on those licenses. We will take pains not to create a 4.0 suite that undermines or otherwise presents challenges for those communities. Process – Discussion Forum – 4.0 Wiki Importantly, for the first time in CC’s history we begin the versioning process without publishing a draft of the new licenses for review. This is intentional, and it is designed to ensure we hear from the community first./*During this 2-3 month requirements gathering period, we urge everyone with a proposal, concern or other input to please put it forth, as our goal is to make the first draft as comprehensive as possible.*/We will alert the community when the requirements period draws to a close, expected to be mid-February 2012. As in the past, we will publish at least two drafts of the licenses before finalizing, which we anticipate will occur late 2012. As with past versioning efforts, the central discussion forum will be CC’s license discuss list(subscribe now) <http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses>. New to the 4.0 process, however, is a dedicated group of wiki pages (accessible through the main 4.0 wiki page <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0>) where topics and proposals under discussion on that email list will be documented, annotated, and evaluated. We have pre-populated the wiki pages with several of the issues we expect to address during this process, framing key topics to help shape the discussion and including known and anticipated proposals related to each. Among others, we expect healthy debates regarding the treatment ofmoral rights <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/Moral_rights>, the definition ofNonCommercial <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/NonCommercial>, scope ofShareAlike <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/ShareAlike>, treatment ofsui generis database rights <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/License_subject_matter>, and much more. The issues are organized by topic with cross-references to related issues throughout the wiki, but there is also an open forum (theSandbox page <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/Sandbox>) where you should be encouraged to suggest other topics you feel are important to discuss for version 4.0 (a few placeholders already exist). For a fuller description of CC’s objectives, the process and expected schedule, visit the4.0 wiki homepage <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0>. We encourage everyone who is interested in the future of Creative Commons, and open licensing generally, to participate in this process. The more voices that chime in to raise issues and debate the merits of various proposals, the stronger version 4.0 will be, helping us achieve our goal of creating a set of robust licenses that will endure long into the future. If you have an opinion about how to simplify CC’s attribution requirements, for example, or any of the other important issues we plan to examine during the process, please post your suggestion to the CC license discuss list(subscribe today) <http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses>and add it to our4.0 wiki <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0>. We look forward to hearing from you. Support CC The Version 4.0 process andmany other activities <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#Why_does_Creative_Commons_run_an_annual…>are supported by contributions from our community. As a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools, Creative Commons has always relied on the generosity of both individuals and organizations to fund its ongoing operations. Please considerdonating to our Annual Campaign <https://creativecommons.net/donate/>, going on now. Thank you.

TechDirt: "Breaking News: Feds Falsely Censor Popular Blog For Over A Year, Deny All Due Process, Hide All Details..."

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Breaking News: Feds Falsely Censor Popular Blog For Over A Year, Deny All Due Process, Hide All Details... from the /copyright-as-censorship/ dept Imagine if the US government, with no notice or warning, raided a small but popular magazine's offices over a Thanksgiving weekend, seized the company's printing presses, and told the world that the magazine was a criminal enterprise with a giant banner on their building. Then imagine that it never arrested anyone, never let a trial happen, and filed everything about the case under seal, not even letting the magazine's lawyers talk to the judge presiding over the case. And it continued to deny any due process at all for /over a year/, before finally just handing everything back to the magazine and pretending nothing happened. I expect most people would be outraged. I expect that nearly all of you would say that's a classic case of prior restraint, a massive First Amendment violation, and exactly the kind of thing that does not, or should not, happen in the United States. But, in a story that's been in the making for over a year, and which we're exposing to the public for the first time now, this is /exactly/ the scenario that has played out over the past year -- with the only difference being that, rather than "a printing press" and a "magazine," the story involved "a domain" and a "blog." There are so many things about this story that are crazy, it's difficult to know where to start, so let's give the most important point first: The US government has effectively admitted that it totally screwed up and falsely seized & censored a non-infringing domain of a popular blog, having falsely claimed that it was taking part in *criminal* copyright infringement. Then, after trying to hide behind a totally secretive court process with absolutely no due process whatsoever (in fact, not even serving papers on the lawyer for the site or providing timely notifications -- or providing any documents at all), for /over a year/, the government has finally realized it couldn't hide any more and has given up, and returned the domain name to its original owner. If you ever wanted to understand why ICE's domain seizures violate the law -- and why SOPA and PROTECT IP are almost certainly unconstitutional -- look no further than what happened in this case. Okay, now some details. [...] Continua qui: *http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111208/08225217010/breaking-news-feds-falsely-censor-popular-blog-over-year-deny-all-due-process-hide-all-details.shtml*
