One of the great advantages that the Internet has given us is the ability to exchange data and information: articles, pictures, music, video. But the ease of access and diffussione not exclude the fact that much of this material is the subject of intellectual property rights. It 's a difficult concept to apply to the online world, perceived as free and without barriers. This sensibility is reflected in the position of those who argue that everything published on the Internet becomes public property or in the theory (all U.S.) of free consent, according to which the publisher the network automatically entitle the free reproduction of the work by third parties. We try to do some 'clarity and to proceed with order. The copyright is the set of regulations on copyright in force in Anglo-Saxon world and the U.S.. A term commonly used as a synonym for our copyright (governed by law 633/1941), despite some differences between the two standards. The
copyleft is a specific mechanism for managing the property rights of software is based on a licensing system through which the author indicates to users that the work can be used, although subject to certain preconditions. This principle is applied in the free software, released under a license, as opposed to proprietary software and open source differs from the concept (in this case the authors of free software will encourage the study and the contribution changes from other programmers). An example of copyleft licenses are "Creative Commons", born in the United States in 2001. These licenses allow you to know in advance the conditions under which the information (music, pictures, videos, etc..) Can be used without infringing copyright. Provide for six levels, ranging from the banning of the author quote used for profit. However, on the issue of copyright on the net there is still no fixed rule, the interpretations are discussed. There is a formal copyright on the Internet, if that is not explicitly expressed.
A good online journalist should always ask the question whether the documents sent across the network to be used, and in what form. In Italy, as I said, we as a guide to the law 633 of 1941 on copyright. In particular, Article 70 tells us that allowed the summary, quotation or reproduction of fragments or parts of the work for purposes of criticism, discussion or teaching. Of course it must always be mentioned as author and publisher. In all other cases you should request authorization to the holder of rights in practice that the network is not highly respected and where it is often used to copy-paste. However, the Court has spoken widely on the subject by saying that a publication on the internet should be considered as intellectual work in a creative nature and therefore protected under copyright law. To learn more, the network has a site that addresses the topic, especially in light of technological innovations: http://www.dirittodautore.it/
In March, the European Parliament has examined the so-called Telecoms Package (bill for the reorganization of the telecommunications sector) that has sparked protests and reports from users, worried about the possible censorship of the means of the Internet (see, for example, this video posted on youtube). In a press release on the website of the European Parliament we learn that, for now, the compromise in this regard has been dropped. On May 6, still in the approval of the package, the assembly (by an overwhelming majority) said yes to the amendment strengthens the rights of citizens online: it requires the explicit provision of a court order to disconnect a user on the web. This has been called "a political punch Nicolas Sarkozy" (from Mastrolonardo on Visionpost ), why? Easy: because according to French law Hadopi , strongly supported by the president, just to disconnect the decision of an administrative authority. This anti-piracy law was finally approved by the French Senate on May 13. In practice, there is the disconnection from the Internet to the user who is caught illegally downloading works protected by copyright. A track called pirates will think the Hadopi, an agency of the State, which will send the first two warnings (and mail and personal letter) and if these are ignored, to cut the connection for at least a year. The law is clearly directed in the opposite direction to the EU's guidelines, by the rejection of the telecoms package, emphasized the role of the Internet as a fundamental right of European citizens. Yet Sarkozy has admirers here in Italy: the main representatives of the content industry, who sent an open letter to French President (and, for information, Berlusconi and others). The text of the letter site is listed in the copyright as I mentioned before.
remains open the question of net neutrality: the Parliament has given it the green light to Harbour maxi amendment, which enables connectivity providers to monitor traffic and impose restrictions on the activities of online users. And the future of the Telecom Package? Mastrolonardo enlightens us about "in principle, on June 12 near the Telecom ministers may decide to accept it as it was voted. More likely, however, that you give to start a new process of reconciliation in September, a path at that point will take place and a new parliament under the Swedish Presidency. The composition of the next meeting will therefore be decisive. The fact makes the elections more important for those who care about the fate of the Internet as a platform of democracy and innovation ".
already begin to apologize for the length of this post and to the countless references, as I wrote it myself I'm a bit 'bored. The fact is that the question itself is complicated and not talked about much, at least not on the front pages of newspapers online, which we usually see. This is demonstrated by the fact that almost no one in class raised his hand to the question: any of you have been following the case? I hope I have clarified a bit 'of the situation, now's your turn: what do you think of the issue "net neutrality" and the attitude of France?
