[Linux-bruxelles] [Fwd: Re: [HSBXL] copyright consultation from EC - future is coming!!!]

[Juliane De Moerlooze]

bonjour gnulinuxiens gnulinuxiennes


je transmets ici un message d'amelia (du party pirate) pour
réagir/répondre en tant que citoyenNe  à la consultation publique de l'UE
sur les droits d'auteur - cette consultation est ouverte jusqu'au 5
février -  c'est important pour préserver nos droits, DRM et open source
(au moins éducation et accès aux ressources, je n'ai pas encore tout lu)
et selon moi, influencera la manière dont "Internet" sera modelé (malmené)
 dans le futur!

peut etre avez vous deja reçu un mail d'avertissement par des personnes de
nurpa ou de la quadrature du net -je ne me souviens - si c'est le cas 
désolée pour les doublons -

comme elle le dit : les lobbies favorisant licences proprio et drm  vont
répondre en masse, ce serait bien d'influencer et de montrer qu'il existe
des contrepoids

son texte avec réponse a des questions du hackerspace  est plus bas avec
son argumentation (en anglais)

Consultation publique sur la révision des règles de l’Union européenne en
matière de droit d’auteur

en français le texte de la quadrature du net
http://www.laquadrature.net/fr/les-droits-culturels-fondamentaux-doivent-etre-au-coeur-de-la-reforme-du-droit-dauteur-en-europe


voila

en espérant que ce sera quand meme une bonne année pour les logiciels
libres et un internet libre (hum ... dans un autre mail je parlerai d'un
atelier VPN)

bonne année à tous /toutes

Juliane




*********************
Formally, the Commission has to read all the responses. They must also
accept responses in all official languages of the EU. They must take the
answers into account when they make proposals. Optimally you will have
some MEP or civil society group in the next legislature who ensures that
any proposals by the EC takes your responses into account. If the EC
disregards large number of consultation reponses they can be blamed for
that. But this is also why it's important that there is a heavy
counter-weight to copyright lobby: we already know that ALL the
copyright lobby WILL respond, so many citizen/small service provider
responses will be the counterbalance. Often the problem also seems to be
bad accessibility to influencing in early stages - so here is a chance
to influence at an early stage.

One response with many signatures, or many personalized responses are
the best.

One can also submit a response which says "I wish to back the response
of X." where X is an organisation or person.

You can see how the Commission reacted to a previous model response we
did for citizens on trade secrets:

p 3 and p 12 have funny quotes (to me anyway)
