Stuxnet worm will contribute to limit freedom of speech?



A representative Lamar Smith, the author of the law SOPA, said the Justice Department should deal with journalists who publish leaks of secret government information. Especially those who are informed about the U.S. involvement in the construction of the Stuxnet worm. Media publicized case law SOPA, which, like ACTA could affect too much on civil liberties in the name of fighting piracy. It is also the media publicized the discovery, which indicates that the Stuxnet worm robber on the internet, which is responsible for the paralysis of Iranian industrial work, was the work of American services. Patience free United States of America is running out.

The problem is that there is no way directly to punish journalists for "insubordination". The law does not allow this. Representatives of the Commission, however, has an idea. At least that's representative James Sensenbrenner. Modified want to espionage Act, which will allow for the bringing to justice of journalists who publish classified information. This is to introduce "balance the rights described in the first amendment of the Constitution."
In other words, freedom of speech is a cool ... to the point where the power does not matter.


代表ラマー·スミス、法律SOPAの著者は、司法省は政府の秘密情報の漏洩を公開するジャーナリストに対処すべきだと述べた。特にStuxnetのワームの建設に米国の関与について知らされた人々。 ACTAのように著作権侵害との戦いの名の下に市民の自由をあまりにも多くの影響を及ぼす可能性があり、メディア報道判例法SOPA、。また、イランの工業仕事の麻痺を担当してインターネット上でStuxnetのワームの強盗は、アメリカのサービスの仕事であったことを示し発見、公表メディアです。アメリカの忍耐フリー米国が不足しています。
問題は "不服従"のジャーナリストを処罰する直接的方法がないということです。法律では、これを許可しません。委員会の代表者は、しかし、アイデアを持っています。少なくとも、それが代表ジェームズSensenbrennerだ。 Modifiedは機密情報を公開するジャーナリストの正義をもたらすためにできるようになりますスパイ法、したい。これは導入することである"憲法修正第一条に記載の権利のバランスを。"
言い換えれば、言論の自由はクールだ...電源は問題ではないポイントに。


一个众议员Lamar Smith,法律SOPA的作者说,司法部应处理与记者泄漏秘密的政府信息发布的。尤其是那些被告知对美国参与建设的Stuxnet蠕虫病毒。媒体公布的判例法SOPA,其中,像ACTA可以对公民自由的名义打击盗版影响太大。这也是媒体宣传的发现,这表明Stuxnet蠕虫在互联网上的强盗,这是伊朗工业工作的瘫痪负责,为美国服务的工作。耐心免费美国已经不多了。
问题是,有没有办法直接惩罚“犯上”的记者。法律并不允许这样做。委员会的代表,然而,有一个想法。至少,这是代表詹姆斯·森森布伦纳。修改间谍法“,这将允许的记者公布机密信息的人绳之以法。这是介绍“平衡”宪法“第一修正案的权利。”
换句话说,言论自由是一个很酷的...在电源无所谓。

ACTA is not dead, but they still fight

ACTA Opponents argue that prior to the signing of an international agreement against piracy should be liberalized first copyright law. Polish supporters of the environment and creative freedom on the internet prepare proposals for amendments, they want to share them with the EU.
After protests from European citizens, particularly the Poles, and the claims of human rights defenders MEPs decided not to adopt ACTA. During Wednesday's vote decided to reject the agreement on combating trafficking in counterfeit goods, without waiting for the opinion of the Court of Justice of the EU, which has asked the European Commission.
Controversy over this international agreement raised a discussion on the existing intellectual property rights and the status of implementation of the Law on Copyright and Related Rights.
Ministry of Administration and the digitization of the Internet Freedom Congress initiated the work on the proposed changes in copyright law. The talks were attended by representatives of the creative and online freedom advocates. The report summarizes the work of experts published in the last week. Announced its demands for changes in the rules, which are adjusted to the right web reality.
Among these was a proposal to include clarify the law on fair use public and private "in order to ensure certainty associated with the use of the songs".
During the work - as we read in the report - there are also suggestions of taking the concept of fair use, any use for non-commercial work and a clear distinction in the law of criminal copyright infringement for a living from this, the Internet user is permitted without reaping a profit. Part of the workshop participants, however, criticized the proposals.
Before the vote on the ACTA, PE Vice President Jacek Protasiewicz said that the administration and digitization Minister Igor Ostrowski presents the proposals developed during the workshop in the European Parliament. In his view, Poland has to offer a modern approach to the protection of intellectual property and the rights of creators on the Internet.
Ostrowski also responsible for the preparation of guidelines for the law on open resources. As he said in an interview with PAP, the law would serve the online sharing of culture, science and education funded with public money. Cultural institutions such as museums, applying for a government grant for the project, would - according to the idea of ​​Deputy Minister - justified in the application, whether and how to make available digital copies of such works of art. Assumptions of the Act were to occur in May, has so far made no announcement.
According to the lawyer Nicholas Barczentewicz announced by politicians revolutionary changes in copyright law will not be realized in the coming years, as a reduction in the scope of legal protection will not agree to proprietary business representatives. Specialist stressed that consent can be expected only if the producers and publishers will reap tangible benefits from sales on the Internet. According to him, "evolution of the legal effect will be more development of the Internet, the law will naturally adjust to that."
President of the Association of Polish Filmmakers Jacek Bromski stressed in an interview with PAP, that sooner or later, like the ACTA agreement must be accepted because "the question of the presence of intellectual property on the Internet needs to be regulated at the international level."
The basic problem with which Internet users do not know the case, lies in the fact that, under current law can prosecute only domestic users are not operating on a large scale and not deriving from the unauthorized use of songs no profit - Bromski stressed. To prosecute the real criminals, it must start - in his opinion - an international agreement in force on the model of ACTA.
"The general rule should be that everything is on the internet, it is legal and it can be used for personal use. Clear we have the internet with such a contract, the surfer did not have to wonder if committing a crime" - said President .
The coordinator of the Business Software Alliance in Poland Bartlomiej Witucki said that the rejection of ACTA "This is a missed opportunity for Europe to demonstrate strong support for the creative, innovative companies in the single market, which depends on the protection of intellectual property." He welcomed the European Commission's announcement that it maintains a referral agreement to the Court of Justice, which is to evaluate whether the contract complies with EU primary law.
Regardless of the workshop representatives of the creative and online freedom advocates, law professors team appointed by the ministry of culture is preparing a report on the current Law on Copyright and Related Rights. Professors have served their knowledge participants of the workshop organized by the MAC.
