Fwd: [A2k] UK IPO office releases emails that show close collaboration with publishers on WIPO treaty for the blind | Knowledge Ecology International
by Erik Josefsson 12 May '13

12 May '13

Hur är det i Sverige, kan man få ut korrespondens mellan regeringen och t.ex. förlagsbranschen? //Erik -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [A2k] UK IPO office releases emails that show close collaboration with publishers on WIPO treaty for the blind | Knowledge Ecology International Date: Sat, 11 May 2013 18:34:22 -0400 From: Jamie Love <james.love(a)keionline.org> To: a2k(a)lists.keionline.org, Ip-health <ip-health(a)lists.keionline.org> http://keionline.org/node/1719 UK IPO office releases emails that show close collaboration with publishers on WIPO treaty for the blind On May 10, 2013, a very revealing freedom of information request was made available from the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO). The request had been filed on April 14, 2013 by the journalist Glyn Moody, for: ======== Emails, letters and any other written communications from the last six months, between the Publishers Association or representatives of UK publishers, and the Intellectual Property Office, on the subject of the WIPO treaty for the blind (formally, the "Treaty to facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities".) ======== On May 10, 2012 the IPO released 28 pages of partly redacted correspondence. (available here [2]) Unfortunately, the document itself is not accessible for persons who are visually impaired.The original request and the IPO justification for the redactions are available here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/wipo_treaty_for_the_blind [3] What do the emails show? In one case, the publishers asked to recommend a person with "outside expertise" for the UK delegation to WIPO. In another exchange, the publishers share a link to an article by Professor Ruth Okediji, a negotiator for Nigeria, explaining why they object to references to fair use in the treaty text. The publishers pushed the UK delegation repeatedly to fight for a restriction for exceptions in cases where there is "commercial availability" of works, in one case highlighting the text in the new Canada law. One of the IPO documents has the heading "Why WIPO Should Not Introduce Fair Use Into the Instrument for Print Disabilities." Another is subtitled, "How commercial availability can work for all." Overall, the emails deal extensively with publisher opposition to fair use, and promotion of commercial availability and requests that the treaty include restrictive three-step test language (even while asserting that other treaties and agreements already mandate the three step test for all copyright exceptions). The emails also demonstrate the close cooperation and communication between the IPO and the publishers in the negotiations. The exchanges would have been more revealing if the IPO had not redacted the names and titles of the individuals receiving and sending the emails.

ACTA documents in the European Parliament's register
by Andreas Jonsson 06 May '13

06 May '13

Dear Mr Rufas Quintana, Thank you for your kind and helpful answer. The Commission made it clear in June last year that a negative vote on ACTA would not stop the proceedings before the Court[1]. Therefore, there is an overwhelming public interest in disclosure of the document that, according to a Commission spokesperson[2], made the Commission withdraw its referral. We are obliged that the Transparency Unit has thoroughly established that "the question asked by the Court of Justice" has not "been served also on the European Parliament", in contrast to the Commission's claim in reply to written question E-000018/2013[3]. We have acted on your advise to contact the Commission[4].

Corattza-Bildt försöker luckra upp EU E-privacy directive
by Andreas Jonsson 02 May '13

02 May '13

http://parltrack.euwiki.org/mep/Anna%20Maria%20CORAZZA%20BILDT#am-1537-PE-5… (kräver javascript för att fungera bra) "a right to object to the collection and use of personal data obtained through online tracking of the data subject's preferences and behaviour across websites. Where a data subject expresses this right to object through technical means, such as a browser setting, controllers and processors shall respect such objection, consistent with technical industry standards, and must obtain the consent of the data subject to process personal data derived from online tracking for marketing purposes. Consent to online tracking shall enable persistent online tracking across all websites unless such consent is subsequently revoked by the data subject." Ovanstående försöker alltså corattza-bildt lägga till i dataskyddsförordningen. Det ser bra ut, tills man tänker på att: 1. Vi har redan starkare rättigheter som medborgare via EU E-privacy directive 2. Eftersom DSF är en förordning och E-privacy är ett direktiv kommer den ta precedens (primär vs sekundär lagstiftning). Detta försvagar alltså nuvarande rättigheter. Frågade Walter van holst om detta, och hans input var följande: "You are right. This would thoroughly weaken the current (although deeply flawed) e-privacy directive. It is also inconsistent with art. 8 ECHR in that it sanctions cross-domain data collection a priori and only puts limits on the subsequent use of data. The subsequent restriction on data collection regarding minors in the following amendment makes one laugh, although the whole of it is very sad. " Ett av motdragen blir nog att se till att komma igång med pts-rapport (vår ff extension) samt även uppdatera websidan där om detta. Borde jag maila Corattza-Bildt och fråga henne vad hon egentligen menar med detta? /andreas

Cookielagen / PTS-Rapport semi-public beta!
by Andreas Jonsson 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hej DFRI! Som ni vet angående cookielagen så har vi skrivit en position[1] om den och även diskuterat den tidigare på listan. För att fortsätta driva frågan vidare har en firefox-extension tagits fram, som hjälper användaren att rapportera överträdelser mot cookielagen. När användaren klickar på knappen så hämtas alla cookies som webplatsen i fråga satt och läggs sedan in i ett förformulerat mail, förberett att skickas till PTS. Nu behöver vi feedback! Givetvis är det opensource[2]! Det vore härligt om ni på listan kunde testa lite och återkomma med feedback. Jag vet att länkarna i menyn förtillfället inte går att nå för all text är inte färdigskriven ännu. Jag har attachat extensionen i mailet som borde gå att installera i valfri firefox 17 eller senare. Om det känns otäckt, så går det annars att bygga från source. [3] Tack för hjälpen! Andreas 1. https://www.dfri.se/dfri/dfris-asikt-om/cookielagen/cookielagen-dfris-posit… 2. https://github.com/torholm/pts 3.

Möte om TTIP/TAFTA i Bryssel
by Erik Josefsson 01 May '13

01 May '13

Det kanske är nån som vill åka till Bryssel och bråka med kommissionen om TTIP/TAFTA? http://trade.ec.europa.eu/civilsoc/meetdetails.cfm?meet=11406 Det är på håret att idag är "14 working days before the relevant meeting". //Erik Travel expenses DG Trade makes available a limited budget *to cover travel expenses* for participants in the Civil Society Dialogue (CSD) meetings. Payment of travel arrangements shall be limited to economy class flights or second class train journeys, and this only for the main part of the journey - the coverage does not include taxi, subsistence or accommodation costs. The Commission provides for a prior purchase of the tickets. *Payments are limited to one person per organisation, and ten persons per meeting, on a first-come first-served basis*. *Eligibility criteria* Participants: * must not be based in Brussels; * must not be members of European institutions or other EU bodies; * must be representatives of civil society organisations *registered in the database of DG Trade <http://trade.ec.europa.eu/civilsoc/search.cfm?action=form>*, or of their affiliated organisation(s) in developing countries; * should provide additional input to the substance dealt with in the CSD meetings, and contribute to a more balanced overall representation of EU's civil society. Procedure: * Meetings for which travel expenses arrangements can be requested are identified as such on the *DG Trade website* <http://trade.ec.europa.eu/civilsoc/meetlist.cfm>*.* * *Candidates should indicate their request when registering for a meeting*. Such applications shall be accepted until up to 14 working days before the relevant meeting (or as specified in the meeting invitation). DG Trade will accept or reject the bid within 10 working days of receipt of such a request. * The participants shall be able to follow the status of their request by accessing their file on the CSD website. * Participants who have been granted coverage of their travel expenses shall have to sign an attendance sheet, available at the meeting venue. No change of person can be made, once approval has been granted. * Once the coverage of travel expenses has been granted, absences to the meeting must be duly justified. The Commission is entitled to refuse future travel payments to missing funded participants.
