Attempting the impossible [Law "Sinde"]
Much has been discussed in all media on the so-called "
Sinde Act," surely that comment is nothing new under the sun ... but just wanted to say it than for something that is my blog.
A provision broadly situated within the context of the Sustainable Economy Act aims to create a "Commission on Culture "(you know who go up this commission) with authority to " take all measures to interrupt the supply of a service company to remove any information or content that violate the intellectual property of a provider for profit, directly or indirectly, or has caused or is likely to cause property damage. "
To me it sounds terrible, the possibility give a fast track to close websites and servers somehow offending against interests of an industry that does nothing but lose money for their inability to adapt to the circumstances of the so-called information society. "
Everyone has the right to
possibility of earning money with our work, much less intend to make an apology for the misnamed "piracy", but this law is a weapon that can get expensive (imaginémosla at the hands of corrupt politicians, closing all web content that does not interest) to denounce the publication of original material in other places there are many legal means that copyright owners can exercise (for example, this news
).
And laws aside, even though the law was passed, I consider two things: first, you really sales in the cultural sector in Spain would increase? Is the "piracy" as bad as they say? I think that "TV" is a wonderful thing that has opened many borders to many people, thanks to Internet I have met many bands whose concerts have been later, thanks to P2P networks have met comics later I bought for fun and because it is wonderful entertainment, and we could spend hours and hours.
The second thing is whether it really is possible to stop such a big thing with a simple law. Such sites have proved to be very elusive always, when you close a site, ten more open and flourish in fo rma exponentially. Refusing to see that is refusing to see reality. The key here is adapt to new circumstances that technological advances are bringing us, is something that has always happened. It costs a lot reinvent when you're very comfortable in his position to gain pasta jet ... but not be drafting a law that, in my opinion, violates a constitutional right to:
1. Are recognized and protected rights:
a) To freely express and disseminate thoughts, ideas and opinions through words, writing or any other means of reproduction.
b) In the production of literary, artistic, scientific and technical.
c) academic freedom.
d) A freely communicate or receive truthful information by any media . The law shall regulate the right to the clause of conscience and professional secrecy in the exercise of these freedoms.
2. The exercise of these rights not be restricted by any kind prior censorship.
3. The law shall regulate the organization and parliamentary control of the media controlled by the State or any public entity and shall guarantee access to the media of the significant social and political groups, respecting the pluralism of society and the various languages Spain.
4. These freedoms are limited by respect for the rights recognized in this Part, the provisions of the laws that develop and, especially, the right to honor, privacy, self-image and the protection of youth and children.
5. can only remember the seizure of publications, recordings and other media in a court order .
's why I say, emphatically, loudly:
NO TO INTERNET CENSORSHIP!
