Criticism of the proposed ancillary rights to Roll
·
After Google launched campaign against the bill for a new intellectual property right on the Internet, leading copyright researchers have spoken out against the project. "Was the need for such a property right so far done nothing to prove," it said in a statement , the commercial, the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law, the Technical Committee Copyright and Media Law of the German Association for Property and Copyright Law (IIC), and many other individual researchers have authored. They warn of "incalculable risk of negative consequences" for the economy and freedom of information in Germany.
The related right to regulate the relationship between the Internet content of the publishers and operators of search engines like Google. The design should be planned by the Government Act, there are the publishers "have the exclusive right of newspapers to make commercial use of the Internet for public access." This would require the publishers also about to publish short extracts its contents to search engines and news aggregators like Google News royalties.
The advance of the federal government for a betterment of publishers on the Internet was not objectively necessary, it is now in the position paper of the scientists. There is no market failure nor an anti-competitive power takeover by a third party. Search engines do not replace the range of publishers, but rather promoted the ease of finding their contents. It erbrächten platform operators an independent and identifiable benefit which was not require significant technical and financial expenses.
Whom should relate to the new prohibition law is not clearly outlined in the draft, the researchers complain further. The contours of the proposed scheme would have to be created so only by supreme court for years. Even if the borders were drawn closely, it would have introduced legal protection according to scientists until then means that may allow Internet services no longer were available. Conflicts between publishers and authors are also inevitable.
A lot of money is likely in the room standing legal protection to publishers not flush the paper, according to the checkout. Many service providers would not be financially able to pay or not to be ready to royalties under the proposed ancillary rights. It so there was a risk that German press on products no longer linked. The victims were the publishers, authors, and all users who search the Internet for information. Overall, "the government bill does not seem well thought out." It may be justified by no substantive argument.
Switched to the battle has changed the Mozilla project. Brought into play by the rules are bad for users and the Web, say the makers of the Firefox browser. If for quoting small snippets of text in the form of so-called snippets of headlines or royalties will be due, could the opportunity to find information, are limited. Emerging competitors in the search market could afford even less appropriate costs. Commercial, political or legal obstacles to the flow of information, ideas and creativity on the web are bad because they underwent its advantages.
The waves on the action to beat Google's highly meanwhile. The publishers' associations and VDZ BDZV have condemned the "weak" initiative of the search engine giant as "vicious propaganda". The scare was devoid of any foundation. On Twitter likened the BDZV the current operation mode of search providers do with shoplifting. The absence of a payment post before publishing content is founded not have the right to make commercial copies without permission.
Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger was found compared with the Handelsblatt amazed that a dominant company trying to monopolize opinion. She added: "There are other search providers as Google." The Ministry of Justice has published a parallel question-answer list on the topic. "One does not quote machine", it says to enter, why was not a snippet of quotation rights covered. Whether aggregators like Rivva were affected, remain subject to the courts. Latest news from search engines made the offer more attractive, thereby allowing increased advertising revenue could be achieved.
The first moved to December 1 Reading of the draft in parliament but will now take place tomorrow, Thursday or the following night. The black-yellow coalition had initially planned that the speeches will be late at night alone on record. The opposition parties pressed then the elders, to allow a real debate. This desire joined representatives of the CDU / CSU and FDP at last. Meanwhile, the reading is still wandered back to the previously set time. The current cycle of the agenda includes point 19 as the start of the debate clock before 2:15 am Friday morning. Especially Greens and the Left had announced that it would also hold for such appointments beyond the "core speech time" their contributions in the Reichstag.
