Check in TFS Force Freedom
Today we make an exception to publish something that is not a technical post It appears that the Council of Ministers approved on Friday in Seville, in the bridge of San Joseph, who does not want the thing, this monstrosity called "Sustainable Economy Act," which includes the so-called "Sinde Act", enabling the closure of web pages in just four days. And it appears he will also unchanged despite the negative reports of various advisory bodies. We join blogs that republish the joint manifesto today of last December to the extremely serious than we thought and we think this, and we encourage everyone to do the same:
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Given the inclusion in the Draft Law on modifications Sustainable Economy legislation 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 developers express our firm opposition to the project, and declare that:
Copyright can not be above the fundamental rights of citizens, as the right to privacy, security, presumption of innocence, to effective judicial protection and freedom of expression.
The suspension of fundamental rights is and must remain the exclusive competence of the judiciary. Not a close without trial.
This bill, contrary to the provisions of Article 20.5
the Constitution, put in the hands of a non-judicial body, a body under the Ministry of Culture, the power to prevent the English public access any website.
The new legislation will create legal uncertainty around the English technology sector,
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 expansion.
The new proposed legislation 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.
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 Trying to hold legislative changes to an outdated industry that can adapt to this new environment is neither fair nor realistic.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.
believe that cultural industries need to survive modern alternatives, effective, credible and affordable and to adapt to new social practices, rather than limitations so disproportionate as to be ineffective in that they are pursuing.
Internet should function freely and without political interference sponsored by groups that seek to perpetuate outdated business models and make it impossible for human knowledge remains free.
We urge the Government to guarantee by law the
Net Neutrality
, Spain to any pressure that may occur as a framework for developing a sustainable economy for the future.
propose a real reform of intellectual property rights-oriented
end: return to the society of knowledge, promote the public domain and limit abuses of management entities.
In a democracy, laws and amendments must be adopted after due debate and having consultation with all stakeholders.
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. It has been published in many web sites. If you agree and want to join it, spread it over the Internet.
