La Nuova Zelanda intende inaugurare i 3 Schiaffi
Una nuova versione dei 3 schiaffi è approdata al parlamento della Nuova Zelanda, sta per colpire direttamente oggi singolo cittadino Canadese, un pò come già avviene per i Francesi. Il regime dei 3 schiaffi è già attivo in Francia e Inghilterra, introdotto sotto “consiglio” dell’industria dell’intrattenimento, per far fronte alle perdite della Pirateria. In Inghilterra e Francia chi pagherà saranno i contribuenti, i costi di manutenzione poichè la rete Internet non viene analizzata automaticamente…
Ora il ministro del commercio Canadese Simon Power (fonte: Scoop Parliament) propone una misura simile a quella Francese e Inglese, ecco cosa ha detto:
“This amendment puts in place a fair and balanced process to deal with online copyright infringements occurring via file sharing,”
“The major feature is the three-notice process, which educates the public about illegal file sharing and provides effective methods for copyright owners to enforce their copyright.
“It ensures that file sharers are given adequate warnings that unauthorised sharing of copyright works is illegal.”
The bill also extends the jurisdiction of the Copyright Tribunal, enabling it to hear complaints and award penalties of up to $15,000 based on the amount of damage sustained by the copyright owner.
Power rivela anche che la corte può stabilire un distacco da Internet pari o superiore a 6 mesi.
“It’s important that account holders are given a reasonable time to stop infringing before enforcement takes place.
“The bill prescribes timeframes so account holders have the opportunity to address illegal file sharing activity occurring on their internet connection before enforcement action is taken.
“They will also have the chance to challenge notices and may request hearings at the Copyright Tribunal to contest infringement claims.
“Regulations will outline the awards the tribunal may make and they’ll be drafted later this year when the bill has been enacted.”
“Online copyright infringement is a problem for everyone, but especially for the creative industry, which has experienced significant declines in revenue as file sharing has become more prevalent.”
“This bill is the result of extensive consultation with stakeholders and is an important step in addressing a complex issue” .
Insomma, ci risiamo, il solito gioco che dura oramai da anni, l’industria che limita i consumatori (restrizioni anti copia, anti backup, anti riproduzione sui PC, etc..) e vorrebbe dettare legge anche in politica…
