Libertatea Internetului primează în Franţa

Parlamentul de la Paris a înţeles care e faza cu legea anti-piraterie şi a respins legea care prevedea tăierea accesului la Internet pentru cei care ar fi fost prinşi “piratând filme şi muzică” sau pur şi simplu descărcând de pe Net ceva. Cea mai mare problemă nu este limitarea libertăţii, ci faptul că nu există o cultură care să explice tuturor, de la şcoală, care naiba e conţinutul piratat şi care e legitim, din moment ce tot conţinutul este disponibil online. Vă asigur că nici profesori universitari, nici avocaţi, nici specialiştii Microsoft nu pot identifica 100% conţinutul digital – care e piratat şi care e plătit. Iar a pune pedeapsă pentru descărcarea de ceva de pe Internet e la fel de absurd precum propunerea de la noi de a interzice presei şi blogurilor să scrie despre anumite persoane.

France’s parliament rejected a bill on Thursday that proposed disconnecting Internet users if they download music or films illegally, with the ruling UMP party failing to turn out in force to approve the law.

Backed by President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government, the legislation was meant to quell the flow of free songs and films on the Internet that has hurt the revenues of artists and production companies.

However, opposition politicians managed to defeat it at a final vote in the National Assembly on Thursday when only a small number of UMP lawmakers turned up for the session, handing the center-right government an embarrassing defeat.

Sarkozy said he was determined to see the law passed and accused the opposition of parliamentary maneuvering.

“Nicolas Sarkozy does not intend to give up on it, whatever the derisory maneuvers that only serve to harm creative diversity,” his office said in a statement.

Socialist parliamentarians broke out in applause after the vote went their way. The government said it plans to re-submit the bill later in April.

“(The law) will only be delayed by a few weeks,” said Roger Karoutchi, the minister in charge of relations with parliament.

UMP party discipline has been severely tested this year, from a controversy over France’s return to the military command structure of NATO, to a bill to ease restrictions on Sunday business hours — which was postponed indefinitely.
