SFC Europe’s response to the EU’s latest Digital Agenda plan The European Union is an organization that acts for the good of its citizens. Currently they are drafting the next 7 years plan and the digital agenda is one of the most important guidelines to be taken into account while producing this plan. The plan is here. All things considered, the most important points from a Free Culture point of view are: Action 1: Simplifying pan-European licensing for online works The EU aims to reduce the difficulties and bureaucracy in clearly licensing and managing content online. This difficulty, states the given example, comes in when a Maltese customer wants to download from a German website. As both are countries in Europe, the EU wants to reduce this obstacles so that both consumers and producers can profit. In the time table section of the agenda there is a proposal to be sent out to tackle this problem in the beginning of 2012. Literally: “In 2012 The Commission will consult the stakeholders and will issue a report on the need for additional measures to promote cross-border and pan-European licenses.” This statement is the reason why producing a position paper to the EU commission is a sensible way to influence future public policies decisions. The SFC conference aims at promoting Creative Commons from an institutional point of view, such as the EU, to improve this online licensing disparity throughout Europe. Action 4: Wide stakeholder debate on further measures to stimulate a European online content market & Action 5: Simplifying the distribution of creative content Action 6: Protecting intellectual property rights online The EU is keen on minimizing illegal activities online such as copyright infringement. Concurrently the EU also wants to favour online distribution platforms while protecting users and producers rights. It is an ongoing issue and the EU realizes the importance of “right balance between protection of Intellectual Property Rights and the general public’s access to content and knowledge.” The SFC position paper on enteprenurship will address specifically this issue of promoting network neutrality at the EU level and favouring open source business models to promote sharing and creativity online while at the same time protecting IP rights. Neutrality of the network is vital in continuing to foster a creative economy and alternative copyright schemes function as an adjacent protection to what’s available in the current system. SFC wants to promote these topics to the EU considering the timetabled task to make sure that the EU doesn’t forget the importance of having a neutral internet and promoting open models where copyrights are clearly defined and understandable without any legal background. - Posted in: Position papers ♦ Copyright ♦ Creative Commons ♦ European Commission ♦ European Union ♦ German ♦ Government ♦ intellectual property ♦ Multilateral Leave Your Comment You must be logged in to post a comment.
