by J.C. DE MARTIN

VIZI PUBBLICITARI-Il Giurì blocca SIAE Pubblicato il 19 ottobre 2011 <http://www.spotandweb.it/news/7704/vizi-pubblicitari-il-giuri-blocca-siae.h…> da admin <http://www.spotandweb.it/news/author/admin> *di Federico Unnia* Scorretta la pubblicità istituzionale sul bollino Stop del Giurì al messaggio diffuso dalla Siae in cui si affermava "Copia privata: piena legittimità dell'operato SIAE", facendosi riferimento alla sentenza della Corte di Giustizia europea del 21/10/2010, concernente l'ambito dei diritti d'autore, e in particolare la materia del cd. "compenso per copia privata", oggetto di numerose controversie dovute a una discrasia di fondo tra normativa italiana vigente e precetti comunitari. Lo ha stabilito il Giurì di autodisciplina pubblicitaria accogliendo il ricorso presentato da ASMI -- Associazione Supporti e Sistemi Multimediali Italiana, Verbatim Italia, Imation e Datamatic.

Repubblica: ""Facebook rispetti la legge europea", La sfida di tre studenti per la privacy"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

DIRITTI DIGITALI "Facebook rispetti la legge europea" La sfida di tre studenti per la privacy La commissione per la protezione dei dati in Irlanda ha iniziato un procedimento contro il social network. Sul tavolo alcuni comportamenti che sembrano violare le direttive Ue in materia di informazioni personali. Un processo che parte dalla segnalazione di un ragazzo di Vienna /di FRANCESCA SIRONI/ DAVIDE contro Golia. Un ventiquattrenne austriaco contro il più importante social network del mondo. E' la storia di "Europe versus Facebook" il progetto in difesa della privacy lanciato da Max Schrems, studente di legge a Vienna. La storia nasce, ancora una volta, un po' per caso un po' per talento e intuito. Mentre si trovava negli Stati Uniti per studio, Max entrò in contatto con un ragazzo che lavorava nella compagnia di Palo Alto. Parlando con lui scoprì che tutti gli utenti di Facebook che non sono residenti negli Usa o in Canada (circa il 70% del totale) fanno riferimento alla sede irlandese del colosso. Da bravo studente di legge, Schrems si rende conto che stando a Dublino, Facebook deve far riferimento alle leggi irlandesi in materia di privacy, ben più rigide e precise di quelle americane. Inizia così la sua piccola campagna a fronte di 22 violazioni che individua nel comportamento del social network, accolte, il 24 agosto 2011, dalla DPC (Data Protection Commissioner) irlandese.

Open Society: "Mapping Digital Media: Italy"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Mapping Digital Media: Italy Date: October 2011 Source: Open Society Foundations Author: Gianpietro Mazzoleni, Giulio Vigevani, and Sergio Splendore http://www.soros.org/initiatives/media/articles_publications/publications/m… /The Mapping Digital Media <http://www.soros.org/initiatives/media/listing?subject=Mapping%20Digital%20…> project examines the global opportunities and risks created by the transition from traditional to digital media. Covering 60 countries, the project examines how these changes affect the core democratic service that any media system should provide: news about political, economic, and social affairs./ Digital terrestrial television was introduced in Italy in 2001. The switch-off of analog broadcasting started in 2009 and is based on the progressive "digitization" of regional areas. The deadline for the definitive switch-over from analog to digital broadcasting is set for December 31, 2012. The television set remains the most common media device in Italian households. National television news and traditional newspapers are the media sources most used by Italians to obtain news about politics and daily events. However, the percentage of Italians whose sole source of information was television decreased from 46.6 to 26.4 percent between 2006 and 2009. Newspaper sales have been in long-term decline, fuelling concerns over whether professional journalism is financially sustainable in the long term. Digitization appears to be weakening local broadcasters, who have played an important role historically in safeguarding freedom of information. The multiplication of the national channels, especially RAI and Mediaset, has caused an important decrease in terms of audience and advertising income of local and regional broadcasters. This report calls on civil society, NGOs, and international organizations to urge the reform of legislation on conflicts of interest between political/institutional roles on one hand and media ownership on the other, as well as to monitor the last stage of digital switch-over, the final allocation of the digital spectrum, and the resulting state of media pluralism, in order to verify that parliament and government actions do not privilege the existing RAI--Mediaset duopoly or favor companies close to the prime minister.
