R: Verifica pene detentive in accordi commerciali

by Marco Ricolfi

Non è così: TRIPs ha norma su sanzioni penali (intorno art 52) Sto facendo studiare a Yael Resnick in che cosa ACTA peggiora (nozione di commercial) m.r. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: nexa-bounces(a)server-nexa.polito.it [mailto:nexa-bounces@server-nexa.polito.it] Per conto di Paolo Brini Inviato: sabato 26 giugno 2010 14.29 A: nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it Oggetto: [nexa] Verifica pene detentive in accordi commerciali Salve! Stiamo preparando un nuovo pezzo su ACTA. Una frase cruciale che abbiamo intenzione di inserire sarebbe: "Per la prima volta nella storia delle democrazie occidentali, la definizione dei reati penali e le pene di carcerazione vengono negoziate in un accordo multilaterale commerciale fra rappresentanti dei governi ed esponenti delle industrie, al di fuori di qualsiasi processo democratico e dello scrutinio dei parlamenti nazionali". Proprio per scrupolo mi è venuto il dubbio di verificare se la prima parte è vera (la seconda è pacificamente vera, purtroppo). Cioè, è vero che è la prima volta nella storia che si negoziano reati e pene detentive in un accordo commerciale? Mi sembra di si, ma se avete controesempi per favore informatemi appena potete. Grazie in anticipo! Paolo _______________________________________________ nexa mailing list nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it https://server-nexa.polito.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nexa

Credo che EBU si riferisca alla proposta della Commissione "A Digital Agenda for Europe" (http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/) e in particolare alle sezioni/parti dedicate al copyright (Key Action 1, nel contesto del cosiddetto "digital single market").

Fwd: [Dmedia] press release EBU su copyright

by Marco Ciurcina

Segnalo questo. In particolare: A key element of the EBU's proposals is the extended collective rights management** mechanism for clearing rights for audio and audiovisual media services and its wider application across the EU for traditional broadcasting as well as on-demand media services. The EBU welcomed the upcoming Commission initiative on collective management which is of the utmost importance to the EBU and its Members. The EBU urged the Commissioner to have provisions on extended collective licensing introduced in the future framework directive on collective management. Qualcuno ha informazioni più dettagliate ? m.c. --------- Messaggio inoltrato --------- Oggetto: [Dmedia] press release EBU su copyright Data: venerdì 25 giugno 2010, 13:00:40 Da: Andrea Lawendel <lawendel(a)gmail.com> A: dmedia <dmedia(a)server-nexa.polito.it> FYI il comunicato odierno della European Broadcasting Union sull'incontro tra EBU e il commissario UE Barnier Andrea ____ PRESS RELEASE *Modernization of copyright licensing to benefit EU consumers and creators* *The EBU meets Commissioner Barnier to discuss copyright modernization in the digital era* Brussels, 25 June 2010 - On 24 June 2010 the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)*, the world’s leading broadcasting association, met with European Commissioner for the Internal Market and Services Michel Barnier, to discuss the EBU's proposals on copyright modernization in the context of the upcoming EU copyright initiatives. The EBU welcomed the Commissioner's initiatives on copyright in the Digital Agenda. Public service broadcasters are investing substantially in quality content which will help to ensure a more inclusive and sustainable digital information society for the benefit of all citizens. However, today broadcasters need a simplification of rights clearance mechanisms to encourage innovation and ensure that audiences can legally access media content on a range of new digital platforms, therefore facilitating the development of a successful Digital Agenda. "Our proposals seek a balanced approach that provides 'easy access' for consumers, facilitating the distribution of content across the internal market, while duly protecting rights holders, including artists," declared Jean-Paul Philippot, President of the European Broadcasting Union. A key element of the EBU's proposals is the extended collective rights management** mechanism for clearing rights for audio and audiovisual media services and its wider application across the EU for traditional broadcasting as well as on-demand media services. The EBU welcomed the upcoming Commission initiative on collective management which is of the utmost importance to the EBU and its Members. The EBU urged the Commissioner to have provisions on extended collective licensing introduced in the future framework directive on collective management. "Collective management is indispensable because broadcasters can't go individually to rights holders for a lot of mass use," said Ingrid Deltenre, Director General of the European Broadcasting Union . She went on to say, " For our Nordic Members, the extended collective licensing system, which has been in place for the past 50 years, has significantly simplified the process of clearing rights for archive content, including orphan works . However, our Members still have a total of approximately 28 million hours of unused radio and TV content, representing an enormous part of Europe's cultural heritage." The EBU pointed out that this situation creates unnecessary administrative costs, and is not in the interests of copyright users, consumers or creators. This is why, in addition to proposals on books in a directive on orphan works, solutions must also be found for audiovisual archives. As part of a coherent set of proposed measures, the EBU highlighted another of its key points: the country of origin principle***. This would facilitate EU-wide licensing avoiding multi-territorial application of 27 national copyright rules, on the basis of the principle of technological neutrality, where a policy should not favour a particular technology. "The more you facilitate the system, the more likely it is that you will have content available on all platforms nationally and across borders," concluded Ms Deltenre. The EBU stressed that its proposals respect the contractual freedom of producers of premium content, e.g. films. They must remain free to negotiate their exclusive rights individually with broadcasters and to contractually restrict their licenses to certain territories. ------------ Note to Editors: * The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) serves 86 national media organizations from 56 countries in and around Europe. It represents its Members and promotes the values and distinctiveness of public service media in Europe and around the world. The Eurovision and Euroradio networks deliver news, sports, events and music to EBU Members and other media organizations. Services to Members range from legal advice, technical standardization and development to co-production and exchange of quality European content.

Segnalo volentieri il seguente post di Roberto Galoppini. jc Open Source Cloud Computing: Notes from a Conference <http://robertogaloppini.net/2010/06/24/open-source-cloud-computing-notes-fr…> Published by Roberto Galoppini <http://robertogaloppini.net/author/admin/> on June 24, 2010 "The future of Cloud services and integration <http://www.jekpot.com/pagine/cloudcomputing1.htm>" conference held today in Rome was another <http://robertogaloppini.net/2010/03/23/cloud-computing-and-virtualization-s…> opportunity to share ideas about opportunities and threats emerging from cloud computing. Security vendors (Trend Micro), academic researchers, postal police officers and representatives from IT and IT security associations discussed the topic in depth. Valeri Cardellini <http://www.ce.uniroma2.it/%7Evaleria/>, senior researcher at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" <http://www.uniroma2.it/> gave a panoramic view of cloud computing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing>, reporting an historical perspective and yet providing the audience with comparisons charts. Roberto Polillo <http://www.rpolillo.it/> - full professor at the university of Milano Bicocca <http://www.disco.unimib.it/> - tailored his speech to an audience paying attention to development countries <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing_country>, sharing numbers, facts and previsions about such emerging market.

Public sector information: Commission refers Poland to Court for incorrect implementation of EU rules

by lorenzo benussi

Un'altro "richiamo" della commissione su PSI e open data Ciao, Lorenzo ---- Public sector information: Commission refers Poland to Court for incorrect implementation of EU rules The European Commission has decided to refer Poland to the EU's Court of Justice over incorrect implementation of an EU Directive on the re-use of public sector information such as digital maps, meteorological, legal, traffic, financial, economic and other data. Such public sector information can be re-used in products and services like car navigation systems, weather forecasts and financial and insurance services, and is estimated to be worth at least €27 billion every year (according to a 2006 study undertaken for the Commission). The EU public sector information Directive, adopted in 2003, requires Member States to ensure that such information is made available and that the public sector and those who could be interested in using this data are made aware of their rights and obligations. The Commission asked Poland to take the necessary steps to comply with the Directive in June 2009. In the absence of adequate compliance, the Commission has decided to refer Poland to Court. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/10/801&format=HT…
