Revision as of 12:43, 11 April 2016

From public policy mailing list:

French freedom of Panorama

  • Wikimédia France launched a petition to convince the French Senate to amend the current proposal and adopt a full Freedom of Panorama exception.
  • Any help with the petition welcome: https://www.change.org/p/s%C3%A9nat-pour-une-libert%C3%A9-de-panorama-claire-et-sans-restriction
  • In parallel they built up a comprehensive campaign site: http://libertedepanorama.fr/
  • On the occasion of the drafting of the Digital republic bill - which you may have heard of - Wikimedia France has been involved, for the past 8 months, in raising awareness among politicians on the concept of freedom of panorama, which would allow many recent buildings to be illustrated on Wikipedia and Commons, especially. Currently, the text of the bill is being studied in the Senate. For now, the amendment proposed integrates a non commercial restriction, which is in contradiction with the licenses used on our projects. It is therefore necessary for the bill to be modified. We need to show that such a debate mobilizes the public opinion : you can support our action by signing our online petition [1] and spreading the word as much as possible ! Thank you for your help !

Unfortunate Swedish high court decision

It seems that the decision is unusually terrible, and also somewhat strange legally ; a public-policy-list discussion on April 4 gets into the details more.

Some coverage in Swedish: http://feber.se/webb/art/346833/offentligkonstse_bryter_mot_up/ http://www.svt.se/kultur/konst/brottsligt-sprida-bilder-av-offentligt-konst-pa-natet http://www.fotosidan.se/cldoc/lag-och-ratt/hd-dom-olagligt-att-publicera-bilder.htm http://www.friatider.se/wikipedia-f-r-inte-visa-bilder-p-konstverk http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/konst-form/hd-brottsligt-att-sprida-bilder-av-offentlig-konst-pa-natet/ http://www.kamerabild.se/nyheter/foto/hd-beslut-olagligt-att-avbilda-konst-f-r-spridning-p-n-tet

One particular piece of news in translation, demonstrating the journalist's depth of comprehension, starting with the headline "Copyright of outdoor art also applies online": https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsverigesradio.se%2Fsida%2Fartikel.aspx%3Fprogramid%3D478%26artikel%3D6403634&edit-text=

Right to be forgotten

EU on intellectual property rights April 15

  • Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov via lists.wikimedia.org , Mar 23 to Publicpolicy
  • The European Commission's consultation on the enforcement of intellectual property rights is due on 15 April. [1] The main goal for us here will be to avoid increasing a platform’s responsibility to monitor and remove UCG.
  • We are currently starting to work on our responses [2], which will be in line with the answers submitted to the related "Platforms Consultation".
  • One question is, however, which category Wikimedia fits in. The Commission wants everyone to chose one of the following roles applying to them: “citizens, consumers and civil society”, "rightsholder", "member of judiciary or lawyer", “intermediary” or "public authority". Depending on the hat you pick you get a slightly different set of questions. It seems apparent that we could fit into at least two or even three of the these.
  • We had a similar puzzle last time and solved it by having the FKAGEU submitting [3] as civil society and the WMF sending in a registered letter emphasising the importance of intermediary protection. Such an approach is also possible this time around, but I wanted to check back with the group on what your thoughts are. Having several movement entities playing different roles might actually be an advantage here.
  • we're still waiting for the consultation that will include copyright exceptions. This is not it.
