Forse molti di voi avranno già visto gli articoli ma i primi riscontri empirici circa la normativa Hadopi (anche in salsa coreana) sono comunque molto interessanti: Corea: http://hurips.blogspot.com/2010/03/three-strikes-rule-sleeping-for-seven.ht… Francia: http://www.numerama.com/magazine/15210-une-etude-indique-que-la-loi-hadopi-… Saluti a tutti, u.p.

Re: [nexa] Ultime iniziative concernenti ACTA

by Philippe Aigrain

There are 2 other on-going initiatives: - An oral resolution has been tabled by all groups and will be adopted today with a probably large majority. It is mostly focused on the prerogatives of the Parliament and the need for it getting transparent information. However some of the wording is firm (threatens to go to the Court of Justice if the prerogatives of the parliament are not respected for instance) - A written declaration (a more solemn position of the EP) written by 4 MEPs (Françoise Castex S&D-F, Zuzana Roithová PPE-CZ, Alexander Alvaro ALDE-DE, Stavros Lambrinidis, S&D-GR) is presently open for the collection of signatures that adresses not only transparency for the Parliament but transparency for the public and also the dubious contents of the negotiation. See: http://www.laquadrature.net/en/start-collecting-signatures-on-acta-declarat… At this stage, getting a majority of MEPs to sign the written declaration is the key action. Note that they must sign in person in the EP.

Re: [nexa] [NEXA]Why Ad Blocking is devastating to the sites you love

by Philippe Aigrain

This piece is ignoring "Why ads are devastating the users you are". Sites that have endorsed a model where they force contents on users that the users do not want are now begging for our understanding. They would use their time and ours better by asking us to pay them or support them, and by inventing models where this can be done without creating attention or transaction costs. The "ease" of advertising has delayed for years the search for sustainable business models. Best, Philippe Aigrain Dott.

Re: [nexa] Oral question in EP on the Italian audiovisual authorization decree

by Stefano Quintarelli

L'autorizzazione, come descritto sotto, non c'e' piu' nel decreto ministeriale. (questo resoconto e' di piu' di un mese fa e fa riferimento alla bozza che avevo circolato) aesso ci sono altri punti, a mio avviso, non aderenti: almeno un bug e un mancato richiamo alla direttiva eCommerce http://is.gd/9XwCG ciao, s.
