·
With the voices of the black-yellow coalition of the SPD and the Bundestag in the early hours of Friday extended the Intranet clause in copyright law for two years. May These are the third temporary continuation of Section 52 a volume of the law restrictively designed usually teachers and researchers "small part" of works by a "certain limited range of teaching participants" for educational purposes made available in a closed network.
"Sweetness and light and clarity are not thus creating really," admitted Ansgar Heveling of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in the speeches for the record. Rather become "forced" a state of uncertainty continued. Within the next two years, the federal government should finally provide "valid data to use" the paragraph.
For the FDP Stephan Thomae underlined that the provision had proven and large. For the schools sector the states with all CRMs total contracts were concluded, in which the conditions of use are controlled for these works. The same applied for the use of schools.
The exception in this sector VG Wort, which has currently still being negotiated with the Standing Conference on adequate remuneration and thereby followed the legal process. The process has now ended up in the Federal Court (BGH), whose vote the coalition hopes to vital clues for future shape and scope of the clause.
"In parallel, we call on the federal government to develop later than six months before the expiry of the time limit again a bill with the standard can be converted into a permanent copyright barrier," said Thomae. It was to the science of digital access to scientific publications "for the case to be certain that the publishers do not provide online services on reasonable terms."
Marianne Schnieder criticized the SPD that the initiative of the Coalition nothing more than "limited legal certainty and employment measures for the government" might entail. The Social Democrats agreed to only to prevent the omission of clause and the associated problems in the education sector at all costs. The Social Democrats were in a separate application form unsuccessfully advocated the repeal of the limitation clause.
The Left Petra custom signaled that her group rejects the coalition advance. They urged that the scope of the provision and to extend "that universities actually have something like this." For the Greens, who abstained from voting, Krista Sager criticized the black and yellow approach as "micro action and emergency surgery at the last minute." The evaluation of the clauses of the Federal Ministry of Justice have long shown that the permanent limitation prevents important investments in digital infrastructure of universities and libraries.
