Fwd: [A2k] 75+ Profs Call on Obama to Halt ACTA

> President Barack Obama
> 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
> Washington, DC 20500
>
> Dear President Obama:
>
> As academics dedicated to promoting robust public debate on the laws and public policies affecting the Internet, intellectual property, global innovation policy and the worldwide trade in knowledge goods and services, we write to express our grave concern that your Administration is negotiating a far-reaching international intellectual property agreement behind a shroud of secrecy, with little opportunity for public input, and with active participation by special interests who stand to gain from restrictive new international rules that may harm the public interest.
>
> Your Administration promised to change the way Washington works. You promised to bring increased truthfulness and transparency to our public policy and law, including the Freedom of Information Act. You promised that wherever possible, important policy decisions would be made in public view, and not as the result of secret special interest deals hidden from the American people.
>
> Your Administration's negotiation of ACTA has been conducted in stark contrast to every one of these promises. In the interest of brevity, we'll focus here on the three principal ways in which your Administration's negotiation of ACTA undercuts the credibility of your previous promises.
>
> First, ACTA's negotiation has been conducted behind closed doors, subject to intense but needless secrecy, with the public shut out and a small group of special interests very much involved. The United States Trade Representative (USTR) has been involved in negotiations relating to ACTA for several years, and there have been drafts of portions of the agreement circulating among the negotiators since the start of negotiations. Despite that, the first official release of a draft text took place only in April, 2010. And following that release the USTR has not held a single public on-the-record meeting to invite comments on the text. Worse, in every subsequent meeting of the negotiating parties, the U.S. has blocked the public release of updated text. The U.S. often has acted alone in banning the distribution of the revised text, contrary to the strong majority view of other negotiating partners to promote public inspection and comment. Because the negotiations have operated on a consensus basis, the U.S. vote against transparency has been dispositive.
>
> This degree of secrecy is unacceptable, unwise, and directly undercuts your oft-repeated promises of openness and transparency. Rather than seeking meaningful public input from the outset, your Administration has allowed the bulk of the public debate to be based upon, at best, hearsay and speculation. Yet, ACTA is a trade agreement setting out a range of new international rules governing intellectual property; as the G-8 called it, a "new international framework." It is not (the claims of the USTR notwithstanding) related in any way to any standard definition of "national security" or any other interest of the United States similarly pressing or sensitive. The Administration's determination to hide ACTA from the public creates the impression that ACTA is precisely the kind of backroom special interest deal - undertaken in this case on behalf of a narrow group of U.S. content producers, and without meaningful input from the American public - that you have so often publicly opposed.
>
> Second, the Administration has stated that ACTA will be negotiated and implemented not as a treaty, but as a sole executive agreement. We believe that this course may be unlawful, and it is certainly unwise.
>
> Now that a near-final version of the ACTA text has been released, it is clear that ACTA would usurp congressional authority over intellectual property policy in a number of ways. Some of ACTA's provisions fail to explicitly incorporate current congressional policy, particularly in the areas of damages and injunctions. Other sections lock in substantive law that may not be well-adapted to the present context, much less the future. And in other areas, the agreement may complicate legislative efforts to solve widely recognized policy dilemmas, including in the area of orphan works, patent reform, secondary copyright liability and the creation of incentives for innovation in areas where the patent system may not be adequate. The agreement is also likely to affect courts' interpretation of U.S. law.
>
> The use of a sole executive agreement for ACTA appears unconstitutional. The President may only make sole executive agreements that are within his independent constitutional authority. The President has no independent constitutional authority over intellectual property or communications policy, the core subjects of ACTA. To the contrary, the Constitution gives primary authority over these matters to Congress, which is charged with making laws that regulate foreign commerce and intellectual property. ACTA should not be pursued further without congressional oversight and a meaningful opportunity for public debate.
>
> The USTR has insisted that ACTA's provisions are merely procedural and only about enforcing existing rights. These assertions are simply false. Nearly 100 international intellectual property experts from six continents gathered in Washington, DC in June, 2010 to analyze the potential public interest impacts of the officially released text. Those experts - joined by over 650 other experts and organizations - found that "the terms of the publicly released draft of ACTA threaten numerous public interests, including every concern specifically disclaimed by negotiators." The expert statement notes that:
>
> * Negotiators claim ACTA will not interfere with citizens' fundamental rights and liberties; it will.
> * They claim ACTA is consistent with the WTO Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS); it is not.
> * They claim ACTA will not increase border searches or interfere with cross-border transit of legitimate generic medicines; it will.
> * And they claim that ACTA does not require "graduated response" disconnections of people from the internet; however, the agreement encourages such policies.
>
> Academics and other neutral intellectual property experts have not had time to sufficiently analyze the current text and are unlikely to do so as long as there is no open public forum to submit such analysis in a meaningful process. Rather than create such a forum, the USTR has released text accompanied by the announcement that the negotiations are finished and the time for public comment, which was never granted in the first instance, is over. This is not meaningful, real-time transparency, and it is certainly not the kind of accountability that we were expecting from your Administration. We know enough to know that ACTA's provisions are of significant interest to the general public, because they touch upon a wide range of public interests and are likely to alter the substantive law governing U.S. citizens. It is clear that before ACTA negotiations proceed further, Congress must be involved.
>
> Third, and finally, we are concerned that the purpose that animates ACTA is being deliberately misrepresented to the American people. The treaty is named the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement". But it has little to do with counterfeiting or controlling the international trade in counterfeit goods. Rather, this agreement would enact much more encompassing changes in the international rules governing trade in a wide variety of knowledge goods - whether they are counterfeit or not - and would establish new intellectual property rules and norms without systematic inquiry into effects of such development on economic and technical innovation in the U.S. or abroad. These norms will affect virtually every American and should be the subject of wide public debate.
>
> Our conclusion is simple: Any agreement of this scope and consequence must be based on a broad and meaningful consultative process, in public, on the record and with open on-going access to proposed negotiating text and must reflect a full range of public interest concerns. For the reasons detailed above, the ACTA negotiations fail to meet these standards.
>
> While you cannot go back in time, you still have the opportunity to allow for meaningful public input, even at this late date. Accordingly, we call on you to direct the USTR to halt its public endorsement of ACTA and subject the text to a meaningful participation process that can influence the shape of the agreement going forward. Specifically, we call on you to direct USTR to:
>
> 1. Signal to other negotiators that the U.S. will not sign ACTA before the conclusion of a meaningful public participation process and another round of official negotiations where public participation is encouraged;
> 2. Hold a meaningful open, on-the-record public hearing on the draft text, the results of which will be used to determine what proposed changes to the agreement the administration will propose;
> 3. Renounce its position that the agreement is a "sole executive agreement" that can tie Congressional authority to amend intellectual property laws without congressional approval and instead pledge to seek congressional approval of the final text;
> 4. Consider reforms to the USTR's industry trade advisory committee (ITAC) process that would allow for a wide range of official advisors;
> 5. Propose new language for the creation of the ACTA Committee that would require open, transparent and inclusive participation that takes into account the viewpoints of other stakeholders, including inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations, in line with the principles of the World Intellectual Property Organization's development agenda.

Provare a uscire dai salotti internettiani
by Marco De Rossi
Vi segnalo un mio post con cui lanciamo (come Oilproject) una compagna
per spiegare ai non addetti ai lavori il problema della libertà di
espressione sulle piattaforme private indipendenti (non solo
Facebook). I prossimi articoli saranno scritti dagli studenti di
Oilproject e dagli altri dello staff.
Voi in questa lista non troverete certamente nulla di nuovo
nell'articolo, ma magari vi interessa condividerlo o partecipare al
dibattito: http://www.shannon.it/blog/una-questione-di-democrazia/
Prima si inizierà a parlarne fuori dai salotti internettiani, prima
possiamo sperare di trovare una soluzione.
Buona serata, scusate il self-spam

Oggetto: [nexa] Garante Privacy: Google Street View: le auto dovranno essere riconoscibili
Cari tutti,
mi è stata segnalata la recente decisione del Garante Privacy sul
servizio Street View di Google. Mi piacerebbe saperne cosa ne pensano
gli iscritti a questa lista.
A presto,

Google Street View: le auto dovranno essere riconoscibili - 15 ottobre 2010
IL GARANTE PER LA PROTEZIONE DEI DATI PERSONALI
NELLA riunione odierna, in presenza del prof. Francesco Pizzetti,
presidente, del dott. Giuseppe Chiaravalloti, vice presidente, del dott.
Mauro Paissan e del dott. Giuseppe Fortunato, componenti e del dott.
Daniele De Paoli, segretario generale;
VISTO il Codice in materia di protezione dei dati personali (d.lg. 30
giugno 2003, n. 196, di seguito "Codice");
VISTA la nota del 18 settembre 2008 con la quale Google Inc. ha
comunicato all'Autorità l'intenzione di rendere operativo in Italia il
servizio Street View, fornendo, contestualmente, informazioni in merito
allo stesso e chiarendo che esso "consente agli utenti di visualizzare
le foto panoramiche delle strade di una città italiana dove il servizio
è attivo" e che è possibile "fare lo zoom della foto, spostarsi con il
mouse del P.C. avanti ed indietro lungo le strade e persino ruotare la
visuale di 360°";
VISTA la nota di Google Inc. del 1 giugno 2010, con la quale la società,
elettivamente domiciliata presso lo studio legale Hogan Lovells in Roma,
ha fornito all'Autorità ulteriori elementi in merito al servizio Street
View;
CONSIDERATO che, secondo quanto dichiarato dalla società, le immagini
sono riprese, al livello della strada, da particolari fotocamere
posizionate su veicoli in grado di scattare fotografie in movimento e
che, a seguito della loro acquisizione, le stesse sono inviate
automaticamente al server di Google Inc. negli Stati Uniti dove si
provvede all'elaborazione ed all'inserimento delle foto selezionate sul
sito web di Google, mediante il quale sono oggetto di diffusione online
per diversi mesi;
CONSIDERATO che, in alcuni casi, le predette fotografie contengono anche
dati personali, quali, ad esempio, immagini di individui o targhe di
veicoli;
VISTE le numerose segnalazioni pervenute a questa Autorità, relative
proprio all'acquisizione di immagini da parte della società che, nel
fotografare i luoghi, ha ripreso anche soggetti identificabili che non
desideravano comparire sulle fotografie pubblicate online da Google;
CONSIDERATO che il servizio Street View, in ragione delle sue
caratteristiche, nonché sulla base degli elementi emersi dall'analisi
delle predette segnalazioni, rende necessaria una riflessione più ampia
sul rispetto dei principi in materia di protezione dei dati personali;
RITENUTO che al trattamento di dati personali posto in essere da Google
Inc. si applichino le norme del Codice, in quanto effettuato mediante
strumenti situati nel territorio dello Stato (art. 5 del Codice);
RITENUTA, quindi, la necessità che Google Inc., in qualità di titolare
del trattamento, provveda a designare un proprio rappresentante
stabilito nel territorio dello Stato ai fini dell'applicazione della
disciplina sul trattamento dei dati personali;
CONSIDERATO che al caso in esame risulta applicabile la disciplina
relativa all'uso delle immagini e che quindi, in linea generale, non è
necessario acquisire il consenso degli interessati quando la ripresa
fotografica avviene in luogo pubblico, salve le limitazioni previste
dalla legge, quali, ad esempio, il divieto di diffusione di fotografie
quando ciò comporti pregiudizio all'onore, alla reputazione, al decoro
della persona ripresa (art. 97, comma 2, della l. 22 aprile 1941, n.
633) o il divieto di diffusione di dati idonei a rivelare lo stato di
salute (art. 26, comma 5 del Codice);
CONSIDERATE, tuttavia, le peculiari caratteristiche delle fotografie
scattate da Google Inc., che, oltre ad essere oggetto di diffusione
online per un considerevole periodo di tempo, possono essere ingrandite
per consentire all'utente una visualizzazione dettagliata delle stesse;
CONSIDERATO che, comunque, il trattamento di dati personali svolto da
Google Inc. per la fornitura del servizio Street View deve avvenire nel
rispetto dei principi di liceità, proporzionalità, correttezza e
necessità sanciti dall'art. 11 del Codice;
RITENUTO, che, al riguardo, risulta opportuna la misura già adottata da
Google Inc. di oscurare, prima della pubblicazione online, gli elementi
che possono consentire un'identificazione diretta (ad esempio, i volti)
o indiretta (ad esempio, le targhe dei veicoli) degli interessati;
CONSIDERATO che resta fermo – ai sensi dell'art. 7 del Codice - il
diritto di opposizione degli interessati rispetto ai dati personali che
li riguardano, e che, in tal senso, la società già assicura agli
interessati l'esercizio di tale diritto, mediante una particolare
procedura di "segnalazione" online;
CONSIDERATO che Google Inc. deve garantire l'effettivo esercizio dei
diritti di cui all'art. 7 anche quando, nonostante la procedura di
oscuramento posta in essere, gli interessati siano comunque, anche se
solo indirettamente, riconoscibili;
RITENUTO che risulta necessario, comunque, che gli interessati siano
informati in modo idoneo ai sensi dell'art. 13 del Codice in relazione
all'acquisizione di immagini da parte di Google Inc., affinché costoro
possano scegliere di sottrarsi alla "cattura" delle immagini,
allontanandosi dal luogo oggetto di ripresa;
CONSIDERATO che le modalità con le quali attualmente è fornita
l'informativa agli interessati, in relazione al trattamento di
acquisizione delle immagini, risultano del tutto insufficienti, in
quanto consistono nella sola pubblicazione, sul sito web della società,
dell'indicazione generica delle città in cui transitano le vetture di
Street View, alcune ore prima del loro passaggio, nonché di un testo
contenente alcune informazioni sul servizio Street View che tuttavia non
soddisfa pienamente i requisiti di cui all'art. 13 del Codice;
CONSIDERATO, tuttavia, che il rilascio dell'informativa a ciascun
interessato oggetto di riprese da parte di Google Inc. comporterebbe un
impiego di mezzi obiettivamente sproporzionati rispetto al diritto tutelato;
CONSIDERATO che il Garante, per effetto dell'art. 13, comma 3, del
Codice, può prescrivere al titolare del trattamento l'adozione di misure
semplificate per fornire un'idonea informativa agli interessati;
RITENUTA, pertanto, l'opportunità di adottare nei confronti di Google
Inc. un provvedimento prescrittivo ai sensi degli artt. 143, comma 1,
lett. b) e 154, comma 1, lett. c) del Codice;
RILEVATA la necessità che Google Inc. informi gli interessati, in
relazione all'acquisizione di immagini fotografiche, individuando con un
sufficiente livello di approssimazione le località visitate dalle
vetture di Street View tenendo conto della ampiezza delle suddette
località (ad esempio per le grandi città è necessario indicare i
quartieri in cui circoleranno le vetture). Ciò, mediante pubblicazione
della notizia sul sito web della società, nei tre giorni antecedenti
rispetto all'inizio della raccolta delle immagini;
RILEVATA, altresì, la necessità che Google Inc. fornisca idonea e
preventiva informativa anche tramite la pubblicazione, sulla pagina di
cronaca locale di almeno due quotidiani, di un avviso – per ogni regione
visitata - che informi sui luoghi in cui circoleranno le vetture;
RILEVATA la necessità che analogo avviso preventivo sia diffuso anche
per il mezzo di almeno un'emittente radiofonica locale;
RILEVATA, altresì, la necessità che Google Inc. predisponga, sulle
vetture con le quali acquisisce le immagini fotografiche, cartelli o
adesivi ben visibili che indichino, in modo inequivocabile, che si
stanno acquisendo immagini fotografiche istantanee oggetto di
pubblicazione online mediante il servizio Street View;
CONSIDERATO che resta comunque ferma la necessità che Google Inc. renda
un'informativa completa di tutti gli elementi indicati dall'art. 13 del
Codice, disponibile sul sito web della società;
TENUTO CONTO che, ai sensi dell'art. 162, comma 2-ter del Codice, in
caso di inosservanza del presente provvedimento prescrittivo è applicata
in sede amministrativa la sanzione del pagamento di una somma da
trentamila euro a centottantamila euro;
RISERVATO ogni ulteriore accertamento e intervento in merito ad
ulteriori profili relativi all'acquisizione di immagini per il servizio
Street View;
RISERVATA, con autonomo procedimento, la verifica dei presupposti per
contestare la violazione amministrativa concernente l'inidoneità
dell'informativa resa da Google Inc. (artt. 13 e 161 del Codice);
VISTA la documentazione in atti;
VISTE le osservazioni dell'Ufficio formulate dal segretario generale ai
sensi dell'art. 15 del regolamento del Garante n. 1/2000;
RELATORE il prof. Francesco Pizzetti;
TUTTO CIÒ PREMESSO IL GARANTE:
dispone, ai sensi degli artt. 143, comma 1. lett. b) e 154, comma 1,
lett. c) del Codice, che Google Inc. entro trenta giorni dalla
notificazione del presente provvedimento:
a) provveda a designare un proprio rappresentante stabilito nel
territorio dello Stato ai fini dell'applicazione della disciplina sul
trattamento dei dati personali;
b) provveda ad informare gli interessati, relativamente
all'acquisizione di immagini fotografiche, individuando con un
sufficiente livello di approssimazione le località visitate dalle
vetture di Street View tenendo conto della ampiezza delle suddette
località, mediante pubblicazione della notizia sul sito web della
società, nei tre giorni antecedenti rispetto all'inizio della raccolta
delle immagini;
c) provveda ad informare gli interessati anche tramite la
pubblicazione, sulla pagina di cronaca locale di almeno due quotidiani,
nonché mediante diffusione per mezzo di un'emittente radiofonica locale,
di un preventivo avviso – per ogni regione visitata - che informi sui
luoghi in cui circoleranno le vetture;
d) predisponga, sulle vetture attraverso le quali acquisisce le
immagini fotografiche, cartelli o adesivi ben visibili che indichino, in
modo inequivocabile, che si stanno acquisendo immagini fotografiche
istantanee oggetto di pubblicazione online mediante il servizio Street View.

R: [*****SPAM*****] Lives put at risk by Communications Data Retention
by avv. Monica Alessia Senor
La sensibilità tedesca in materia di data retention è nota.
Basti pensare che a ridosso dell'approvazione della legge federale di
recepimento della direttiva 2006/24/CE del 21 dicembre 2007, è stata
addirittura stata costituita un'associazione ad hoc (l'Arbeitskreis
Vorratsdatenspeicherung)a tutela dei diritti civili dei cittadini e la Corte
costituzionale è stata investita da circa 35.000,00 ricorsi per la
declaratoria di incostituzionalità.
Forse anche in virtù dell'interesse suscitato a livello sociale, la Corte
Costituzionale tedesca nella sentenza dello scorso 2 marzo 2010 ha stabilito
che le disposizioni di legge che hanno ad oggetto la conservazione dei dati,
al di là del mero dato formale relativo al periodo di conservazione (in
Germania sei mesi, sic!)debbano essere commisurate con l'interferenza
nell'esercizio dei diritti fondamentali che esse comportano.
Noi siamo ancora molto lontani...
Ciao.
Monica

Oggetto: [*****SPAM*****] [nexa] Lives put at risk by Communications Data
Retention
A report published on 8 October 2010 by German civil liberties activists
reveals that human lives are put at risk by the retention of all
telecommunication data.
According to the report, the data retention policy has endangered
scientific research, caused unemployment, encouraged corruption,
promoted the abuse of personal data and hindered the prosecution of crime.
The report gives examples of cases when the registration of
communication data failed to help the police in stopping criminals and
how criminals might have used more discreet ways of communicating and
internet cafes to disguise the origin and destination of messages.

Open Data and Re-use: what is happening at local levels in Europe?
<http://epsiplatform.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=351afeace62f913b40a7…>

We are pleased to send you an open invitation to participate in our
upcoming meeting in Rennes. The meeting is jointly organised by Rennes

With the focus on national data catalogues it is easy to overlook the
potential value of local data for economic, social and democratic
benefits. Yet a huge amount is generated locally in the provision of
services for citizens. A network of local data initiatives is now
opening up and to encourage this we are holding a meeting in Rennes, a
city which has taken a lead in opening up local data. All are welcome
and there is no charge for this event.
*The Target Audience*
The event is aimed at::
* Stakeholders that produce data:
- Local authorities;
- National public services;
- Public organisations, public service providers;
* Stakeholders that reuse data:
- Private: national, international, local businesses, start-ups
- NGOs, citizens
- Academic: universities, engineering schools, design schools...
* Media.
More meeting information including the agenda and online registration is
available at: www.epsiplatform.eu.
