European ISPs slam secret ACTA talks

Posted in filesharing on November 30th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

p2pnet news view P2P | Politics:- Secret Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) negotiations threaten the Internet, say 1,700 European ISPs, all members of EuroISPA , Its “heavy-handed measures would create a serious danger of undermining and restricting the open innovative space that lies at the very heart of the Internet’s success,” says association president Malcolm Hutty. “This agreement would have a negative impact on Internet users without having an appreciable impact on fighting illicit use of copyrighted material.â€? Leaks “suggest that the series of measures being considered are severe and wide-ranging including the possibility of users being disconnected from the Internet,” says the group today, going on »»» EuroISPA is concerned that the attempt to implement such measures through a trade agreement, rather than a conventional legislative process, will not allow the various stakeholders, such as European citizens’ representatives, to enter the debate.

p2pnet news view P2P | Politics:- When are they going to get it right? The Three Strikes and You’re Off The Net plan attributed to Peter Mandelson (lord) in the UK   is no more his than it’s Nicolas Sarkozy’s in France, or any of the other government leaders in countries such as  Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. The project is wholly owned by the Hollywood studios and Big Four record labels  who dreamed it up and are,  with the help of the corporate press corpse, promoting it at unimaginable expense around the world.

‘3 Strikes’ Sarkozy blows $396,841 on a shower!

The major corporate movie and music studios say file sharing was, and is, ruining their businesses, centred on lawsuits targeting their own customers, said p2pnet recently, noting: “The wise auld greybeards who control the cartels came up with a scenario they figured couldn’t fail: use governments as copyright enforcement agencies, with local taxpayers footing the bill, and internet service providers working as copyright cops to identify file sharers and turn them over to the labels, primarily, and studios for firm action. “It’s called the Three Strikes plan and under it, alleged copyright infringers — file sharers — get two warnings and if they don’t do what they’re told — buy corporate ‘product,’ and only corporate ‘product’ — they get thrown off the net.” France and  Britain are now neck-and-neck in determined efforts to act swiftly on cartel demands,  to the serious detriment of voters.

p2pnet news view P2P | Politics:- Entertainment industry efforts to bulldoze governments into imposing anti-file sharing measures on local populations continue to come unglued. Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music, on the one hand, and Disney, News Corp, Time Warner, Viacom, NBC Universal and Sony Pictures, on the other, want administrations to act as taxpayer-funded agents, with ISPS in the role of copyright cops, providing information on their own customers to the cartels. US, British, Australian, New Zealand and South Korean governments are among those which have tried to toe the Big Music and Hollywood line.
