La generación YouTube ha ganado un aliado en la “guerra mundial de los derechos de autor”. El gobierno holandés quiere que se cambie la ley del copyright de manera que los usuarios puedan hacer montajes creativos de contenidos protegidos. La Haya no quiere seguir esperando a la Comisión Europea para encontrar un compromiso.
“Todos amamos YouTube,” dice Bernt Hugenholtz, del comité estatal holandés sobre derechos de autor. “Muchos de los videos que encontramos allí son montajes creativos de material protegido por copyright. La mayoría de ellos ha sido creado como sátira o comentario político, o son simplemente absurdos. Si aplicamos la ley estrictamente, no estaríamos autorizados para hacer esas cosas.”

INTERNET in DANGER
As a powerful global information resource, the Internet must be accessible to everyone and measures to ensure this must be taken, a United Nations independent expert said today.
Ms. Shaheed emphasized the importance of governance on this issue since the Internet has become a powerful medium through which individuals can exercise a wide range of human rights. 
CNET learns the FBI is quietly pushing its plan to force surveillance backdoors on social networks, VoIP, and Web e-mail providers, and is asking Internet companies not to oppose a law making those backdoors mandatory.
The FBI is asking Internet companies not to oppose a controversial proposal that would require the firms, including Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, and Google, to build in backdoors for government surveillance.
"Before Megaupload was shutdown the company was preparing to go public and enter the US stock market with a multi-billion dollar IPO. While the US authorities were conducting their criminal investigation, Megaupload had discussions with some of the ‘Big Four’ auditors and several of the world’s largest investments banks. The top of the financial world was looking at a huge potential tech IPO with a billion dollar valuation, but these plans ended abruptly in January."
According to a US indictment, Kim Dotcom and the rest of the “Mega Conspiracy” were running a criminal operation.
They are accused of engaging in a racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, conspiring to commit money laundering and two substantive counts of criminal copyright infringement. 
The Centre for Law and Democracy today published a major Report examining the Internet from the perspective of human rights. It analyses the critical role that the Internet plays in the actualisation of fundamental human rights, particularly the right to freedom of expression, and concludes that there is a human right of access to the Internet. The Report also examines the implications of the right to freedom of expression in terms of regulation of the Internet.
“This Report provides a strong justification for a right of access to the Internet, and also examines regulatory and practical issues relating to human rights and the Internet in some detail,” said Toby Mendel, Executive Director of the Centre for Law and Democracy. “We believe that it provides a strong basis for framing future discussions and policy development in this field.”
Porque creemos que la censura de Internet está no solo en contra del propósito esencial de Internet, que es dejar que las personas se comuniquen como quieran con las personas que quieran, sino que también y fundamentalmente contra el derecho universal de opinión y expresión el cual incluye la libertad de emitir opiniones sin interferencias y buscar, recibir e impartir información e ideas a través de cualquier medio in importar las fronteras (DUDH, Artículo 19), te ofrecemos aquí “Como sortear la censura de Internet".
Este libro no solo te ayudará a encontrar tu camino en las diferentes herramientas y técnicas que permiten sortear la censura de Internet, sino que también te enseñará más sobre como la censura trabaja por detrás. También aprenderás sobre los riesgos inherentes al uso de algunas de esas herramientas, y te ayudarán a evaluar y mitigarlos gracias al uso del cifrado y técnicas de anonimato. 
The Pirate Party fights for transparency, anonymity and sensible copyright laws. At TEDxObserver, Rick Falkvinge explains how he became the leader of Europe’s tech-driven political party, which so far has won 17 seats across national parliaments in Europe.
Rick Falkvinge went from entrepreneur to politician on January 1st, 2006, when he launched the Pirate Party website, forming a political party that called for sensible copyright laws and protection of civil liberties online. Just three years later, the Pirate Party won two seats in European Parliament. In 2011, Falkvinge stepped down as leader of the Swedish Pirate Party to devote more time to speaking about copyright law, internet sovereignty and information policy. Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the top 100 global thinkers of 2011, and he has been nominated as one of TIME’s 100 most influential people of 2012. 
We've gotten used to the content industries arguing that what happens when people download or make copies is "theft." But using that term muddies the waters when it comes to what copyright is supposed to be about, and lends support to irrational laws and court decisions.
By now, most of us have grown pretty used to hearing the word “theft” used to describe what happens when someone downloads a movie or a song that isn’t theirs, and certainly media and entertainment lobby groups make heavy use of such terms — as do people like News Corp. founder Rupert Murdoch when talking about what Google News does with his newspaper content. But as Rutgers law professor Stuart Green describes in a New York Times opinion piece, this terminology is fundamentally flawed, since copyright infringement is a very different thing from theft of physical property. 
The threat of rampant piracy — the downloading and re-distribution of what the content industries claim are billions of dollars worth of intellectual property — is continually raised to justify ever-more-draconian laws such as the recently proposed SOPA and PIPA bills. While they have been shelved (at least for now), the pressure on legislators to come up with new variations continues, as does the pressure to launch federal cases against service providers like Megaupload or Hotfile.
Y Combinator founder Paul Graham argues that this phenomenon isn’t the natural order of things, but stems from the failure of those content industries to adapt to the new realities of the internet. He is right — as long as they continue to resist, the battle will go on. 
For the first time since his arrest in January, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom is responding to allegations in what he calls the “MPAA-sponsored” indictment. Eager to fight back, Dotcom refutes several “nonsense” claims made by the Government. In addition, he shows that Mega wasn’t a big bad pirate haven, but a legitimate service that may have been shutdown for political reasons.
.../... It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if the Mega investigation was somewhat of a ‘gift’ to Hollywood, a theory which Megaupload’s founder subscribes to.
“Mega has become a re-election pawn in the White House / MPAA affair. If I was a Republican presidential candidate I would investigate this,” Dotcom says.
However, this gift isn’t as free as it may seem. Dotcom says that the witch hunt against his company is putting the US technology sector at a disadvantage.
“The MPAA / White House corruption has weakened US technology leadership. Internet businesses, hosting, cloud, payment processors, ad networks, etc. are going to avoid the US,” Dotcom told TorrentFreak.
“There is an opportunity for liberal countries to welcome those businesses with better laws,” he predicts. “The loss of IT business & jobs in the US will substantially outweigh the inflated losses claimed by the MPAA & their billionaire club.” .../...

Con la denominación de ‘Editorial Musical de Movistar’ la compañía comienza a firmar acuerdos con diferentes autores para adquirir sus derechos. Además contará también con otras editoras discográficas para coeditarlos. De esta manera Telefónica crea su propia SGAE.
Telefónica España acaba de crear ‘Editorial Musical de Movistar’, una editora musical que pretende potenciar repertorios nacionales e internacionales, promover el talento y difundir las obras de sus autores utilizando las herramientas musicales propias de la compañía. 
'La Unión' lo tiene claro: "A las discogáficas les quedan dos telediarios". Esto es lo que asegura la banda madrileña, que está a punto de cumplir 30 años de carrera.
La banda madrileña formada por Sánchez, Luis Bolín y Mario Martínez será una de las cabezas del cartel del festival virtual Noise Off, una iniciativa musical, en la que, a partir del jueves, estrellas consolidadas apadrinarán a talentos emergentes, impulsados por los internautas tras meses de promoción y actuaciones retransmitidas a través de Internet, desde su garaje o una terraza. |

These are the main points of the proposal for copyright reform that the Pirate Party is advocating, and which the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament has adopted as its group position.
Together with Rick Falkvinge, the founder of the first Pirate Party, I have written a book that explains why this reform is both necessary and sustainable, and will benefit both citizens and artists.
Today we will launch the book in the European Parliament. If you are in the European Parliament in Brussels, please come to the coffee bar on level 3 in the ASP building and pick up your free copy between 12 and 14 today.
This is a constructive alternative to the controversial ACTA agreement, and to the criminalization the the entire young generation. It is quite obvious that the current policy of ever harsher enforcement measures against ordinary file sharers just isn’t working.
Europe needs to set a new direction in copyright policy, and needs to do it urgently. But the good news is that we can.
Get your copy of the book, and find out why and how. http://www.copyrightreform.eu/ 
The US and China have been discreetly engaging in "war games" amid rising anger in Washington over the scale and audacity of Beijing-co-ordinated cyber attacks on western governments and big business, the Guardian has learned.
State department and Pentagon officials, along with their Chinese counterparts, were involved in two war games last year that were designed to help prevent a sudden military escalation between the sides if either felt they were being targeted. Another session is planned for May.
Though the exercises have given the US a chance to vent its frustration at what appears to be state-sponsored espionage and theft on an industrial scale, China has been belligerent. 
The Dutch Pirate Party is taking local anti-piracy group BREIN to court in the hope of overturning a recent order that prohibits the Party from operating a Pirate Bay proxy site. The Pirates claim that the Hollywood backed group is guilty of “legal harassment” and “trampling people’s freedoms.” They demand that the court overturns the previous ‘ex parte’ verdict to allow the Pirate Party to be heard.
The legal battle over Internet censorship is heating up in the Netherlands, as the local Pirate Party is now suing anti-piracy group BREIN. 
A judge in Alexandria, Virginia ruled Friday in favor of attorneys for the cyberlocker website MegaUpload, ordering the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to work with the site’s operators to return personal files to more than 60 million of the site’s users.
U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady agreed with MegaUpload attorney Ira Rothken in a hearing Friday, and ordered the DOJ to work with MegaUpload and its users to reach an amicable solution to the quandary of legitimate, non-infringing files being held in legal limbo. The question of what will happen to the files arose after an Ohio-based entrepreneur teamed up with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to sue for access to his business files. 
No parece que esa medida vaya a tomarse por ahora, pero el caso es que acaba de publicarse en el BOE una reforma de la Ley General de Telecomunicaciones que incluye y regula, por primera vez, la separación funcional.

THE Justice Department is building its case against Megaupload, the hugely popular file-sharing site that was indicted earlier this year on multiple counts of copyright infringement and related crimes. The company’s servers have been shut down, its assets seized and top employees arrested. And, as is usual in such cases, prosecutors and their allies in the music and movie industries have sought to invoke the language of “theft” and “stealing” to frame the prosecutions and, presumably, obtain the moral high ground.
Whatever wrongs Megaupload has committed, though, it’s doubtful that theft is among them. 
The Spanish copyright monopoly lobby Promusicae has filed lawsuit against the reputable Spanish professor Enrique Dans for “soiling their honor”, and demand €20,000 in damages.
Un nuevo frente se abre en la enconada batalla por la propiedad intelectual que se libra en España. Cedro, la entidad de gestión de derechos de autor en el sector del libro, ha demandado a la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid por distribuir sin autorización, entre sus alumnos, contenidos con copyright. La demanda, según ha podido saber EL PAÍS, es la primera de una batería de otras medidas similares contra otras universidades españolas, la mayoría públicas.
El Centro Español de Derechos Reprográficos, entidad tras las siglas de Cedro, ya amagó con este tipo de medidas hace dos años. Ahora ha decidido entrar en acción: “Si no diéramos este paso incurriríamos en dejación de nuestras funciones”, señalan las fuentes. En concreto Cedro acusa a la Universidad Carlos III de haber subido sin licencia a su campus virtual (la red informática interna a la que tienen acceso los alumnos: el equivalente digital al antiguo servicio de fotocopias) materiales protegidos por derechos de autor. La demanda fue presentada el pasado 1 de marzo en un juzgado de lo mercantil de Madrid y, según las fuentes, admitida a trámite. 
Así ven los niños la crisis El 90% de los pequeños ha oído hablar de la crisis, más que de Messi, por ejemplo, y nota a sus padres estresados.
Los niños españoles no son ajenos a la crisis. La mayoría ha oído hablar de ella alguna vez y casi cuatro de cada diez afirma que escucha la palabra a diario y más incluso que la de futbolistas como Messi.
Now that the EU's ratification of ACTA has departed from the original script of everyone just waving it through, the European Commission is clearly trying to come up with Plan B. Some insights into its thinking can be gained from the minutes (pdf) of a recent Commission meeting, pointed out to us by André Rebentisch. 
During this year's National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a proposal has been introduced by Chinese famous director Zhang Yimou and Chancellor of Beijing Film Academy Zhang Huijun to call for a strict law to protect movies' intellectual property rights and combat online piracy. |
