Vampirefreaks Proxies Posthumous award to my good friend Carlos Atares

Just send me an e Juantomás, to inform me of something I've made my day. It is the delivery this afternoon in Manchester and posthumously, a special award to my good friend Carlos Atares for its long history in defense of freedom and the technological promotion of Free Software.

is a special award from the Free Knowledge Initiative Focus and is framed by the acts described in the LSWC Malaga and as confirmed Juantomás me to attend that supply much of his family.

should be noted that this conference was born from the fruit of efforts by companies and advocates of free software to replace English OSWC , which was canceled unilaterally by the Andalusian ; to claiming financial reasons. Remarkable effort of these people that have made possible, taking into account the limited financial resources available and the limited time available for organizing the event, which also shows in some way, the desire, the capacity and the maturity of this industry Free Software English.

Unfortunately, I can not attend this intimate act, but I was pleased very much for this recognition of my good friend Carlos Atares, as I believe that the free software community owes much to people like him as visionary. Therefore, I express my deepest and sincere thanks to all who have made this recognition and have recognized these merits in the person of Charles, who certainly deserves it a lot.

Seizure Disorder More Condition_symptoms The Free Software World Conference (LSWC) 2010 Malaga is underway

Following the cancellation of the Open Source World Conference (OSWC) by the Junta de Andalucía, a few days of its beginning and without giving a excuse too strong , civil society is organized quickly in response to such termination, has launched the Free Software World Conference LSWC , starting on 27 October 2010 in the Exhibition and Congress Centre of Malaga.

To give visibility to the event, byof ASOLIF and ANDALIBRE , driving the same organizations, has issued the following press release:

"The free software sector shows its maturity in English Málaga " .

Without doubt, this is a great effort and a big bet by the companies in the Free Software English, who deserves our praise and recognition for all that has led to organize such an event features in the short time since the announcement by the Junta de Andalucía ofOSWC cancellation and the small budget available.

I am sure that if the enthusiasm breeds success as some say, this event will be successful and possibly more than when I was sponsored by the Junta de Andalucía. It is not to say, luck and happiness for all achieved so far.

Southpark Online Stream Judgement of Canon Law and Sustainable Economy: will history repeat itself?

On October 21, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and by decision , has ruled that compensation for private copying, known colloquially as "canon" is not legal, it is not in accordance with applicable European standards, and it is not fair, as levied indiscriminately on all, affecting both individuals and corporations . It really has been dared by the Management Entities to obtain compensation for private copying of legal persons, when the textConsolidated Intellectual Property Law, approved by unanimous practice of the Congress of Deputies in 2006, says that only you can apply the private copy compensation to individuals ...

But besides this, the statement said other very interesting things right and give full citizenship to oponíaa the implementation of the compensation for private copying in the area ; Terms imposed by English law and of course, those opposed to the broad and clearly unfair reading of the rule were being concerned. Among other thingsthe sentence reads:

a) No compensation can be applied all media and digital devices only applies to those who detract from the authors upon purchasing.

b) are exempt from the payment of compensation for legal persons, ie companies, professionals and governments, as not being natural persons do not enjoy the right to make private copying.

c) The compensation is set by purely economic injury to the authors who represent the private copying in the area and surroundingstances that mark the law therefore can not be a form of compensation for damages that may arise from digital piracy, or other illegal actions against copyright and material interests derived from their works.

d) Although you can proceed to compensation for private copying when there is economic harm, the court also said there was no obligation to pay compensation when damage is minimal, what needs to be assessed properly.

e) It is unnecessary to retroactively claim compensation for copy prIVAD by the management entities, when companies can not transfer these amounts to their clients. This implies the automatic review of all claims pending in the courts, and the judgments and payments in advance.

But although the ruling says this in black and white and it is necessary to study carefully all the implications before acting, I think they should consider other things in the process of reviewing legislation to be derived from this ruling. And there are some very interesting forums to obtain valid information for the study of new legislationIntellectual Property fairer, as is the FCFORUM 2010, to be held in Barcelona from October 28.

That said, I believe that the development of new legislation on intellectual property and compensation for private copying, at least, should take into account:

a) you can not legislate for lobbyists , regardless of EU legislation, the common sense or opinio N citizenship , since they can derive sentences like this before us, with all that involve the consequences for English society in general.

b) That every time you use less digital and the new paradigm is no longer based on discharge and local storage of content, will probably be based on ubiquitous access to digital content.

c) That there are other business models and other circumstances that must be taken into account and should have an adequate treatment in Intellectual Property Law and by the Management Entities Copyright . Forexample: the illegality of collecting works indiscriminately outside the directory managed by institutions, the existence of free licenses commercial and noncommercial, treatment for works to be protected, not available in the market, the publication is ny direct marketing without intermediaries content on the Web, works by authors who died, orphan works, the right to quote , etc.

d) To consider and in all its dimensions, what the UN says about .

Reactions toCase not have to wait and some government have already declared their intention to recover the sums which they believe have been wrongly charged, to which no doubt will join other legal persons, as professionals and companies . In the case of government, I believe that the request for reimbursement, if legally feasible, should be a required question, since that attempt to recover the amounts paid by an inappropriate law should ; to be a consecutiveence directly the principles of economy, effectiveness and efficiency provided by law for good Administracióny more now that money is not what is surplus to the government. Although it is also true that there are voices that claim caution before proceeding with the complaint , which certainly does not hurt, especially if a procedure is arbitrary save us litigation costs.

But as a first step, and pending clarification of the matter, I recommend, both to individuals and to legal, do not buy anything that is currently subject to the payment dand compensation for private copying without a breakdown on the invoice that concept, as stated in the current Copyright Act.

But we must not forget the view of this ruling, other "collateral damage" of this civic and unequal struggle against the "digital canon" as Internauta Association a conviction, which many consider unfair and that opposed by the same prosecutors, , being clearlycontrary to the Act to Promote the Information Society (LISI).

That said, we must remember that we have another issue now before Parliament, which besides being related with the same actors in the previous case, it may face the same formamide, if citizens turns to Europe for legal protection. This is the controversial Disposal second (DF2) the Law of Sustainable Economy (LES) , colloquially speaking, "Sinde Act."

sincerely believe that the timereflection, and before approving the DF2 against society and listening only to one party, consideration should be responsible for the parliamentary procedure to consider two articles in Economic Law ; to Sustainable related to improving the quality of legal regulation. In truth, however much I try, I do not see that being applied these interesting principles in the LES, during the investigation that is making the DF2 and is more controversial, I firmly believe that if implemented properly during the processing of the rules currently governing COMPENSATION &; Oacute n for private copying, probably not be in this unfortunate situation, so I recommend your careful reading and implementation without reservation of the same:

Article 4. Principles of good regulation applicable to the policy initiatives of the government.

1. In the exercise of legislative initiative, governments act in accordance with the principles of necessity, proportionality, legal certainty, transparency, accessibility, simplicity and efficiency.

2. Virtyou of the necessity principle, the policy initiative must be justified for reasons of general interest.

3. Under the principle of proportionality, the proposed policy initiative that must be the most appropriate instrument to ensure the achievement of the objective pursued, after finding that there are less restrictive and less distorting which attain the same result.

4. To ensure the principle of legal certainty, the powers of legislative initiative is exercised in a manner consistent with the rest of the system to generate a frameworkstable and predictable policy, creating an environment of certainty that facilitate the work of citizens and the adoption of economic decisions.

5. Applying the principle of transparency, the objectives of the regulacióny its justification must be clearly defined.

6. To ensure the accessibility principle, establish the mechanisms for consultation with stakeholders to encourage their active participation in the rulemaking process and tools simple and universal access to existing regulations .

7. The principle of simplicity requires that any regulatory attend to the achievement of a regulatory framework simple, clear and not very dispersed, to provide knowledge and understanding of it.

8. Applying the principle of effectiveness, the policy initiative must start from a clear identification of the objectives pursued by establishing direct targets and avoiding unnecessary burdens and ancillary to the attainment of these ultimate goals.

9. In any case, public authorities shall endeavor to maintain a stable frameworktransparent and simplified as possible, easily accessible by citizens and businesses, enabling fast and simple knowledge of current legislation resulting from aplicacióny without further administrative burdens for citizens and companies that are strictly necessary to satisfy the public interest.

Article 5. Instruments of government to improve regulation.
To support the goal of improving regulatory quality and the application of the principles of sustainability and good regulation, AdPublic Administrations:

1. Drive prior analysis tools of policy initiatives to ensure that they take into account the effects of all they produce, in order not to create citizens and businesses from unnecessary or disproportionate costs, in relation n the general interest objective to be attained.

2. Take care the public hearing process in developing its regulatory projects, encouraging the participation of stakeholders in policy initiatives,with the aim of improving the quality of the standard. To do this given a sufficient time, pondrána available to interested parties all necessary channels of communication, especially through electronic means, and also provide adequate information to better assess the effects comprensióny expected policy initiatives.

3. Promote the development of post-assessment procedures of legislative action, featuring the establishment of appropriate information systems, monitoring and evaluation, N.

of the above, I believe that everyone involved in the processing of the LES must understand that DF2 is not an economic measure more entity referred to in the LES. The DF2 affects very negatively by the way, the fundamental rights of citizens and as in the previous case, request their protection in Europe and get it right, with all that that may entail. If final approval of the DF2, as with the current regulations governing compensation for private copying, it is more likely that citizens not to resign and seek justice in Europe as in this particular case is also very likely, giventhe content and scope of the DF2, which are in Europe that justice they seek. This, as is the case there would be another very difficult situation to resolve legal and could trigger the collapse of an already overburdened English Justice .

may after reading carefully the recommendations in the previous articles in the LES and the negative reaction that is taking the DF2 in English society, prudence is the best approach and Moreover, in a time when the circumstances arising from the current sentenceCourt of Justice of the European Union, regarding compensation for private copying, a need to change and in depth, a good part of the rules governing intellectual property in Spain. Therefore, the most logical and prudent to remove the DF2 of the LES, which incidentally, is a law which provides for other economic measures that should be of urgent application to exit crisis and therefore deserve different treatment quite different.

DF2 After removing the LES, does not mean that progress towards a new Intellectual Property Law modern, fair and we like to all citizens. Withsteelwork should take into account all recommendations and conclusions of the Parliamentary Subcommittee on Copyright . This Subcommittee, urged the Government to launch a broad social debate, with the intention to undertake a thorough reform and quiet of the Copyright Act that would allow full adjustment the digital age and the broader consensus.

Sincerely, apparently seen and after recent events, I believe that this is the only way to achieve an Intellectual Property Law that meets all of society and does not make a friction &; Oacute n social colicky in European courts, with all that it can be assumed, so all I can recommend at this time is prudent and the withdrawal of the DF2.

Mono Treatment More Condition_symptoms I think we lost the North in this country

Honestly, I think we lost the North in this country, well, well, I think some leaders of our government have lost the north. When things seem to go in the right direction and begin to see the fruits of an effort of years, comes a new "Illuminati," which like elephants in a china shop, rowing against the tide and become the ruthless destroyers of everything they have done and achieved by others before them, and I must say, people took out these achievements, made in the way of blood, sweat and tears. Consider the reasons why I do this afirmacion curious:

a) When it seems that everyone agrees with the benefits of Free Software in the administration and in business.

b) When there are many voices, with great knowledge of the facts, show that Free Software represents a more sustainable economic model and a good way to alleviate the crisis .

c) When Europe tries to raise its game by the advantages of Free Software and dich to action is supported by the European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Krores .

d) When editing a guide to facilitate the adoption of open solutions for municipalities from the Ministry of Industry and has a history of non-legislative proposal to promote Free Software in the Central Administration and some Runtime .

e) When you have data savings will & amp; iacute; to countries for the adoption of Free Software in their administrations and tenen clear history of success, savings and advantages of Free Software in some administrations ENG waves.

f) When Spain was won in competition and was becoming a world power, at the head of Europe in Free Software based solutions, with all that entails for wealth creation and employment.

And although it seems that there are some who are unclear , the truth is that we find that some "Illuminati", able to decide on behalf of others who do not take into account all of the above and are bundled a blanket at the head, shattering all work and hard road traveled by other probably more prepared than they are. Illuminati no reason to disregard the clear advantages that could accrue from the adoption of free software without reservation, both in business administration as a lack of competitiveness and swamped by production costs.

Illuminati who forget also that we are in crisis, which is not negligible at this point and is not cuestióndand throwing public money for no apparent reason, especially when it is shown, with full guarantees that there are valid solutions based on free software and can perform as well as proprietary software to a much lower cost , and realizing the full extent, those wonderful principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness that the law grants to every good management. In this way and unexplained as I said, we find contradictions as these, that however much I try, I can not understand:

a) La Xunta pay Microsoft nearly 5 million euros and waiving Free Software

b) Economíae New Innovation Director of the Andalusian commitment to proprietary software

c) The Andalusian Open Source cancel World Conference

d) Nephew and Microsoft

Dear friends, in view of the above, I think is fully demonstrated my thesis that some leaders of our government have lost the north. However, we can ask what implications will these decisions?. Canthat those responsible for the same one, but for society, I'm sure will have many consequences, perhaps too many, and very poor indeed, especially considering that this is a time of economic hardship and that optimization of scarce resources in public administration should be a priority for any manager worth his salt.

The most basic application of logic and common sense, I would recommend not to move at this time of crisis and less on technologies and solutions that have cost money and effortErzo, are operating at full capacity and are beginning to bear fruit. But even taken into account in these strategic decisions of enormous social and economic impact, this very conservative and prudent approach to these bad and difficult times like these, in which more than 4 million unemployed and the families supporting social cuts, increased taxes and reductions in wages. I can ask for effort and sacrifice, when the government does not act accordingly with them.

I think at this point, the majority of English society is not beyond the benefitsmay report using Free Software in the administration and in business. I think either escapes most of the English, unless they have economic interests in proprietary technologies, that if something works and is cheaper, as demonstrated with use of Free Software, there is no logical or practical reason for using other solutions that do the same, but at a much higher price and having to load also with other difficulties associated with an outdated business model and less favorable for public administrations and enterprises, based on expensive licenses and faces regular updates from them.

Meanwhile, with more enthusiasm than average, some try remedy, as far as possible and with great effort, the harm done by these poor decisions of some. Do not you ever learn in this skin of bull?.

South Park Fish Stix Stream When laws are not enforced, citizens lose (a lot)

Few laws have raised so much controversy on the Internet, as Services Act on the Information Society (LSSI) . Unfortunately, while the opposition promised that he would request his retire or even repeal it when he was in power, the end was enlarged and corrected version of it, called Act to Promote the Information Society (LISI) . If we see the arguments of those who werein opposition in 2002, we see "evolution" thought of those same people, when they now want to adopt almost the same as denied at that time through Second Final Provision of Sustainable Economy Act (LES) , resulting anger and sense of the Internet community, but that's another story. Let's talk about the additional provision of the LISI Sixteenth and says something very interesting for the dissemination of culture like this:

" Sixteenth additional provision .

publicly-owned digital content and making them available to society.

always by its nature does not impair the normal functioning of the Administration, or harm the public interest or general interest, digital or digitized content available to the general government republics, whose intellectual property rights belong to him without restrictions or public domain, shall be placed at the disposaltion of the public in the terms established by law, so no restrictions telematics technology for use in the form of study, copying or redistribution, provided that the works used in accordance with the above mentioned cite the author and distributed under the same terms. "

However, just go to the website of the Ministry of Culture to see his legal notice does not mention this important fact, or worse, the website of the Museo del Prado, which is publicly owned, to verify that its legal distance dand be consistent with this additional provision, shows a proprietary license and restrictive, which should be a clearly incompatible with content that is public and that have been digitized with the money of all the English. In particular, I note that the license reads as follows:

" Copyright

All portal content, text, graphics, images, its designand intellectual property rights that may correspond to such content as wellas all trademarks, trade names or other distinctive mark owned by the Museo Nacional del Prado or their rightful owners, all rights are reserved for them.

any act is prohibited by total or partial reproduction of the contents in any form or medium (mechanical, electronic, photocopying or otherwise), and any act of distribution, public communication or distribution, without the prior written permission of the MNP or their rightful owners. "

C

HTMLXC Unfortunately this is not an isolated case, rather it is the general trend that applies to digital content by the English government, which seems not to know of the existence of LISI, with its interesting Sixteenth additional provision and treat each all content they are and have been paid by all, as if they were his exclusive property, with the damage that entails.

But I think this whole issue of access to culture and to refine more precisely the size of the problem we are talking, we must also take into account the content of Article 44of our Constitution and saying something as important as the following:

" Article 44

1. Public authorities promoverány watch over access to culture, to which all are entitled.

2. The public authorities shall promote science and scientific and technical research in the public interest. "

against what the Constitution says and DispoSixteenth Additional composition of LISI, I think it should be clear that the Ministry of Culture should make many more efforts to enforce the additional provision of the LISI Sixteenth which to try to pass the Second Final Provision of the LES. At least these efforts, in addition to being grateful for all citizens by the enormous public good involved in making this content available, would also be much closer to what it says Magna Carta on access to culture, which is the main mission of the Ministry of Culture, or at least I think that is what should ber.

Elaborating on the issue of inconsistencies between what is said and what is done in Spain, it is curious that the website of the Ministry of Culture see this text regarding the outreach of museums:

" The activity that takes place in the broadcast area of the state museum is geared towards the ultimate goal of bring the museum to society. This area will, therefore, all strategies to achieve communication goals, contemplacióny Education & OverhaulI n entrusted to the museum. "

However, I think it is evident from the license displayed in the English institutional pages, which is not complied with the additional provision of the Sixteenth and can LISI nor with Article 44 of the Constitution, which is much more serious, not using the Internet and free licenses such as the EUPL for example, all digital content by Administrations English public.

Moreover, I believe that not only should make available to the societyGive the contents are digitized at this time, it should also be more pro-active and start scanning everything that could be of interest groups, especially in the area culture and science.

I do not doubt that the Internet and free licenses are the best means of cultural dissemination in the world and also we can almost say that the only way to fully comply with guarantees and unrestricted, with the objectives of communication, education contemplacióny entrusted to public museums, so I do not understand why not use dand widespread. Moreover, the Internet and free licenses would also be the best way to make available to the public the contents, which for lack of space, condition, or other reasons, can be physically available to the public in museums. How many pictures are stored in the Museo del Prado that can not be seen by the public?.

Although I fully agree that is not the same, not even close, having a picture that your digital copy, forced to go to a museum determined to exercise its right of access to a work that belongs to all , requires furtherentry level or low level of culture that must be assessed and more when there is a scan of the works. This restrictive approach, both in space and in time, usually involves travel (sometimes from different cities), an entry price and above all, a schedule, a time and in many cases, compliance with a very limited capacity capacity, which greatly restricts the access to culture, so it will be better a scanned copy, you have nothing, especially when there is a scan of it available on a corporate website. And the same can be applied to many other cultural content in the public domain, such as documents, books, regHistria sound, image or video, which for one reason or another and inexplicably given current technology, it remains very difficult to access them.

If we have some tools like the Internet and free licenses, as well as law allows, or rather, they require it, and which reads these digital content "will be placed at the disposal n public "what is the reason that does not comply with the Act and would undermine the culture of access to all of English society, without anyone doing anything about it? .
