After the Glass

Category Archive 'Society'

From behind the glass followed by joining the manifests for fundamental rights on the Internet. That's why we joined this initiative of the new web-SOStenible.net Network. I hope that you find interesting and show that you cling to the widespread in your blog, because we ALL internet.

Considers the withdrawal of the first final provision of the Law of Sustainable Economy for the following reasons:

1-violates the constitutional rights which must be based especially a democratic state the presumption of innocence, freedom of expression, privacy, inviolability of the home, effective judicial protection, free market, consumers and consumer protection, among others.

2 - Build Internet for a state of emergency in which citizens will be handled through administrative procedures after summary reserved by the Audiencia Nacional to drug traffickers and terrorists.

3 - Set a punitive procedure "on demand" for cases in which courts have already stated that not constitute a crime, involving even the need to modify at least 4 laws, one of them organic. This entails a radical change in the legal system and a source of insecurity for the field of ICT (Information and Communication). We recall in this connection that the exchange of knowledge and culture in the network is an economic engine important to overcome the crisis as has been demonstrated widely

4 - The urgent preventive mechanisms available to the law and the judiciary are to protect all citizens against risks as serious as those that affect public health. The government intends to use the same comprehensive protection mechanisms to benefit private interests against the public. In addition the legislation will introduce the concept of "indirect profits", ie to me may be closed on the blog because "promoted" to one who "promoted" to another link to a third party who does business allegedly illicit

5 - remember that intellectual property is not a fundamental right, contrary to statements by the Minister of Justice, Francisco Caamaño. What is a fundamental right is the right to the literary and artistic production.

6 - According to the declarations of the Minister of Culture, this provision would be used exclusively for closed 200 websites are targeting alleged copyright. We understand that if this is the objective of the provision is unnecessary because current legislation there are procedures to allow action against websites, including precautionary measures when they were allegedly being in breach of the law. It is not only suspicious of the true intentions motivating because the only thing that adds to the current legislation is the fact of letting the public in a state of serious legal helplessness in the digital environment.

7 - Finally we consider the government's proposal is not only a waste of resources but will be utterly ineffective in its intended purposes and makes clear the utter inability of the executive to understand the times and drivers of the Digital Age.

The provision is a further concession to the old entertainment industry to the detriment of fundamental rights of citizens in the digital age.

The citizenry can not allow any way to continue the attempts to violate the basic rights of individuals, without proper effective remedy to protect junior rights such as intellectual property. That fact was already cleared with the dictates of the law unconstitutional Corcuera (or law kicked in the door.) Manifesto in defense of fundamental rights on the Internet, backed by more than 200 000 people, as the reaction progressed and demands citizenship before the unacceptable prospect of the government.

To encourage a definitive change of direction and coordinate a joint response, on 9 January has become the "sustainable network" a representative platform for all concerned civil society sectors. The aim is to launch an offensive to ensure a regulated digital environment enabling the full potential of the network of cultural creation and respect the basic freedoms.

In this regard, we recognize as a reference for the development of the digital age, the Charter for innovation, creativity and access to knowledge, a position paper written by more than 100 experts from 20 countries that includes the legal principles that should inspire this new horizon.

In particular, we believe that it is now particularly urgent implementation by governments and institutions, the following issues addressed in the Charter:

1 - The / artists you like all workers have to make a living from their work (reference point 2 Lawsuits, paragraph B. "Encouraging creativity and innovation" of the Charter), 2 - The company needs for its development open network and free (reference point 2 "Lawsuits", paragraph D, "Access to technology infrastructure" of the Charter);

3 - The right to quote and the right to share must be enhanced, not limited as the foundation of any possibility of establishing all information and knowledge (reference point 2 "Lawsuits" paragraph to "rights in a digital context" of the Charter);

4 - The public should be able to freely enjoy the exclusive rights of the public goods that are paid with money, with public money (reference point 2 "Lawsuits" paragraph C "common knowledge and public domain" of the Charter) ;

5-believe needed fundamental reform of the system management entities and the abolition of digital canon (reference point 2 Lawsuits, paragraph B. "Encouraging creativity and innovation" of the Charter).

Therefore the campaign begins today WILL NOT BE ANOTHER INTERNET TELE and carried out various actions by citizens throughout the period of the Spanish presidency of the EU.

We consider it particularly important in the calendar of the Spanish presidency of the Second Congress of Cultural Economics (29 and 30 March in Barcelona), Informal Meeting of Ministers of Culture (30 and March 31 in Barcelona) and the meeting of ministers Telecommunications (18 to 20 April in Grenada).

The network is scheduled to meet with national and international representatives of political parties, representatives of the cultural and diplomatic missions.

This blog is added to the statement "In defense of fundamental rights on the Internet" prepared jointly by several authors. I pray to all that perdais few minutes of your time reading it and if you disagree with what he says, spreading it.

Given the inclusion in the Draft Law on Sustainable economy of legislative changes affecting the free exercise of freedom of expression, information and the right of access to culture through the Internet, journalists, bloggers, users, professionals and developers internet express our firm opposition to the project, and declare that ...

1 .- The copyright can not be above the fundamental rights of citizens, including the right to privacy, security, the presumption of innocence, to effective judicial protection and freedom of expression.

2 .- The suspension of fundamental rights is and must remain the exclusive competence of the judiciary. Not a closure without a sentence. This blueprint, contrary to the provisions of Article 20.5 of the Constitution, put in the hands of a non-judicial body - a body under the Ministry of Culture - the power to prevent Spanish citizens access to any website.

3 .- The new legislation will create legal uncertainty around the Spanish technology sector, damaging one of the few areas of development and future of our economy, hindering the creation of business by introducing barriers to competition and slowing its international expansion.

4 .- The new proposed legislation threatens to hinder new creators and cultural creation. With the Internet and the successive technological advances has dramatically democratized the creation and issuance of all types of content that no longer come predominantly from traditional cultural industries, but from many different sources.

5 .- The authors, like all workers are entitled to live on his work with new creative ideas, business models and activities associated with their creations. Trying to hold with 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, they should find another model.

6 .- We believe that cultural industries need to survive modern alternatives, effective, credible and affordable to suit new social uses, rather than limitations so disproportionate as to be ineffective in that they are pursuing.

7 .- Internet should function freely and without political interference sponsored by groups that seek to perpetuate outdated business models and make it impossible that human knowledge remains free.

8 .- We demand that the Government guarantee by law the net neutrality in Spain, before any pressure that may occur as a framework for developing a realistic and sustainable economy for the future.

9 .- We propose a real reform-oriented intellectual property rights to an end: return to the knowledge society, promote the public domain and limit abuses of the managing bodies.

10 .- In a democracy the laws and their amendments should be adopted after due debate and having consulted all parties involved. It is unacceptable that legislative changes are made that affect fundamental rights in a non-organic law and deals with another matter.

This manifesto, drawn up jointly by several authors, is all and none. Login to join if you like it, spread it over the Internet.

On more than one occasion I mention you will have read that we are living through interesting times for science. We are beginning to discover things that were until recently science fiction, and this we are paving the way for what the day before were just the fantasies of a few madmen.

This statement can be applied to multiple fields. In the audiovisual technology have made incredible advances are getting machines that reproduce holographic images so we can almost touch. The field of physics not far behind, just two days ago started up again the largest particle accelerator ever created by mankind, the LHC, whose many experiments will help us learn more about the formation of the universe. This is not only interesting for theories to be confirmed but by those we have always taken for granted and that overnight it will become obsolete.

But astronomy is the leading captivating the imagination of billions of people for all mankind, and this field is the further acceleration is gained in surprising discoveries. A couple of years fantasized that it could be water on Mars for later, only weeks ago, stunned to discover that not only is there water on Mars but on the moon, right under our noses, no ice. And now, just days ago, NASA confirmed to have discovered two exoplanets (planets outside the solar system), rich in organic molecules such as carbon dioxide, which are essential for the emergence of life as we know.

The life beyond our planet is no longer a question of mathematics and a little common sense into a palpable reality. I would play something that, in not much more than a couple of years, humanity will finally find the first living beyond our planet, whether in the form of cell, bacteria or even in some kind of animal. Do not you think this interesting?
Although clear, worst of all is that our media, in an attempt to simply indulge in instead of us think, give greater priority in their reports to news like a balloon in a child who allegedly traveled to the latest American scientific discoveries, discoveries that lead us closer to our eternal dream of knowing that we are not alone in our universe.

Since this entry is more reflective than informative, I offer a good image that will delight while meditating on all this. This is a sunset, but not like any other. This image was taken on the surface of Mars by Spirit, one of the robots sent by NASA to explore the red planet.

The rotunda, one of the last frontiers of human knowledge. Why everyone makes bad? What happens in our brain to not be able to understand something as simple and continue to threaten our physical safety and even the few people able to do it right?

Here a scheme to let the world see that it is not so simple ... do you?

Piracy is one of the most intense social debate in recent times, due in part to disinformation pouring over us like the SGAE associations. I will not discuss this topic because I feel that I have neither the preparation nor the data to do so, instead I'll let David Bravo, a lawyer specializing in intellectual property and computer law, do it for me.

In this first video we see our man as part of some television debates and exposing the many contradictions of those who claim to wield justice in this case.

And this second video is just to give us an idea of how much is getting out of hand the criminal code to meterle so silly about piracy.

With this entry, and these two videos do not try to convince anyone, but I really wish that all reflection, and when discussing this issue, all we did with a little headache.
