NRW pirates make proposal on copyright
A contemporary Copyright has always been a key demand of the Pirate Party. What "timely" to mean it was, but so far in the dark. A concrete proposal of the party for such copyright was missing - certainly a reason that many observers the impression that the pirates want to abolish copyright completely.
The North Rhine-Westphalian pirates led by the State Executive Committee member and copyright experts Daniel Neumann have now worked out a concrete proposal for a comprehensive reform of copyright. According to the authors show on the proposal, "as contemporary arrangements are possible without the historically grown in Germany and - at least partially - to break even proven Copyright completely".
The bill is intended to strengthen the rights of authors, for example, by the right to use plants can be transferred to a maximum of 20 years to recyclers. After that, the authors obtain the ability to separate from its publisher again, or re-negotiate the fee and his work, for example, to be published under a free license. These regulations will also prevent orphaned works.
All public educational institutions such as kindergartens, schools, universities, libraries and research-based institutions should be exempt from copyright levies, official works are published copyright-free. Controversial debate certainly is the newly proposed Section 53 Copyright Act, which grants everyone a private copy of digital content, regardless of whether a source "lawful" is.
The Pirate Party justifies this paragraph so that it is not empirically prove that file sharing had a negative effect on the sale of plants. Users, who may be willing to pay for a work acted afterwards, regardless of the file-sharing usage. Greater legal certainty for consumer 'will also create the proposal to sell digital content in the future. Rent remixes and mashups to be legal according to the proposal.
The complete design, has been involved in the apparently well regarded in the power circles pirate Udo Vetter, a lecturer in media law at the University of Applied Sciences Dusseldorf, is on the server of the NRW pirates.
