Gallo report on future EU copyright: No compromise on our Freedoms!
,----[ Quote ]
| A few hours before the vote on the Gallo
| report regarding the future of EU
| copyright, the rapporteur, French sarkozyst
| Marielle Gallo, has tried to lead her
| colleagues into voting fake compromise
| amendments. Mrs Gallo tries to hide the
| clash between two very conflicting
| positions: on one hand, the rapporteur's
| ultra-repressive logic against online
| filesharing - including the encouragement
| of the ACTA agreement and of private
| copyright police - and on the other hand,
| the understanding that a successful
| creative economy will be built with
| Internet users and not against them. It's
| up to us, citizens, to help the members of
| the JURI committee to make the right
| decision by protecting fundamental freedoms
| and the public interest.

Digital Economy Act will fail
,----[ Quote ]
| A survey from law firm Wiggin and
| Entertainment Media Research asked 1,592
| UK consumers aged 15-54 if they thought the
| law change would mean anything to them. A
| third of those who admitted to downloading
| the odd file said that they would not
| change their behaviour even if the most
| direct action of Internet account
| "suspension" is implemented under the DEA.
| However they might change their minds when
| they have their Internet access cut off.

US Copyright Official Discounts ACTA Concerns
,----[ Quote ]
| U.S. copyright official Steven Tepp said
| Tuesday he doesn't understand many of the
| current objections to the proposed Anti-
| Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), a 37-
| nation effort to enforce copyright and
| counterfeit laws across international
| borders.
|
| Tepp, senior counsel for policy and
| international affairs at the U.S. Copyright
| Office, dismissed objections to ACTA voiced
| by representatives of the Consumer
| Electronics Association (CEA) and Knowledge
| Ecology International (KEI), an
| intellectual-property research and advocacy
| group, during a debate on the trade
| agreement at the Future of Music Coalition's
| Washington, D.C., policy forum.
