From my humble blog I would like to add to the rejection of the new law that the English Government intends to establish which severely restrict and infringe the rights to receive, provide and share information and culture through the Internet. In addition, such laws mark a dangerous line of action of government control of the spaces and content that may be "hazardous" or nuisance on the Internet.
This measure designed to appease a section of creative and artistic producers above is a vain attempt barriers put to sea to appease an industry that wants to continue selling culture at prohibitive prices. Sure I have become the cultural exchange between individuals in criminal something we will only be encouraging illegal practices and the emergence of organized criminal networks to replace the free exchange between individuals.
I think there is a right to have services that increasingly become more important and of course I believe in the public value of culture as something that goes far beyond a simple business, a commodity that can not be metered .
It seems absurd to share files over the Internet into something that can be criminal punishment and yet tod @ s we've ever given and exchanged movies or books without the slightest problem, is it only a crime between strangers?. Support
creators, without them there would be no culture, however as they are I think we need to rack their brains to find ways in which new technologies can help them not return to the eighties. First of all I encourage you to be competitive in price or set of pages of quality cultural content on the network for a small fee I'm sure many would pay gladly.
Then I leave the manifesto drawn up by a number of bloggers about this law .
Manifesto: In defense of fundamental rights on the Internet.
Given the inclusion in the Draft Law on Sustainable economy of legislative changes affecting the free exercise of freedom of expression, information and the right of access to culture through the Internet, journalists, bloggers, users, professionals and Internet writers express our firm opposition to the project, and declare that ...
1 .- The copyright can not be above the fundamental rights of citizens, including the right to privacy, security, the presumption of innocence, to effective judicial protection and freedom of expression. 2 .-
suspension fundamental rights is and must remain the exclusive competence of the judiciary. Not a close without trial. This blueprint, contrary to the provisions of Article 20.5 of the Constitution, put in the hands of a non-judicial body under the Ministry of Culture, the power to prevent citizens from accessing any website.
3 .- The new legislation will create legal uncertainty around the technology sector of the English state, damaging one of the few areas of development and future of our economy, hindering the creation of enterprises by introducing barriers to competition and slowing its international .
4 .- The new legislation proposal threatens to hinder new creators and cultural creation. With The Internet and new technologies have democratized the creation and release of contents of any kind, no longer come predominantly from the traditional cultural industries, but from many different sources.
5 .- The authors, like all workers are entitled to live out of their creative ideas, business models and activities associated with their creations. Trying to hold legislative changes to an outdated industry that can adapt to this new environment is neither fair nor realistic. If your business model is based on the control of the copies of the works and the Internet is not possible without violating fundamental rights, should find another model.
6 .- We believe that cultural industries need to survive modern alternatives, effective, credible and affordable to suit new social practices, rather than limitations so disproportionate as to be ineffective in that they are pursuing.
7 .- Internet should function freely and without interference from groups that seek to perpetuate outdated business models and make it impossible for human knowledge remains free.
8 .- We ask the Government to guarantee the neutrality law of the network in Spain, to any pressure that may occur as a framework for developing a sustainable economy in the face the future.
9 .- We propose a real reform of intellectual property rights aimed at an end: return to the society of knowledge, promote the public domain and limit abuses of management entities.
10 .- In a democracy, laws and amendments should be adopted after due debate and consultation with all parties involved. It is unacceptable that legislative changes are made that affect fundamental rights in a non-organic law and deals with other matters.
This manifesto, drawn up jointly by several authors, is all and none. If you want to join it, spread it over the Internet.
