Piratska Partija Srbije

Vlasti Francuske razmatraju novi, neverovatni, oblik borbe protiv piraterije. Naime, prema izeštaju ministarstva kulture, u čijem je sastavljanju učestvoavo i poslovni partner iz izdavačke kuće supruge predsednika Francuske, kultura ove države ugrožena je, zajedno sa svojim umetnicima, od strane search-engine biznisa. Po tom raportu, kompanije Google, Microsoft, Yahoo… su odgovorne za ekspanziju piraterije. Zbog toga se predlaže zakon o oporezivanju posrnuloj industriji. Iako zdrava logika govori da je izdavačka industrija sama kriva zbog svoje nefleksibilnosti, to ne smeta Sarkoziju da podrži ovaj izveštaj, u kome se, takođe, ističe da su pomenute kompanije krive zbog propadanja tradicionalnih medija. Pomenuti porez, navodno, bi spasio  iste. Podrška Francuskog predsednika mora da začudi, imajući u vidu, da on sebe nalazi kao umerenog desničara, koji se zalaže za slobodno tržiše! Ovakva sprega izdavačke industrije i francuskih vlasti već je izrodila čuveni three strike law, najbrutalnij antipiratski zakon na svetu.

Stav Piratske partije Srbije je da ovakvi potezi vode samo daljem produbljenju kontradiktornosti na kojem je copyright sistem izgrađen. Sa jedne strane imamo sasvim prirodno ponašanje ljudi koje je nemoguće sputati bez brutalne represije, a sa druge dinosauruse biznisa, suviše rigidne i konzervativne da bi se menjali. Umesto da vlade zemalja porade na iznalaženju rešenja, kako bi i autori, i konzumenti bili, zadovoljni, one, i dalje, čine ustupke onima koji otuđuju nešto tako blisko ljudskoj duši, kao što je stvaralaštvo. Internet je doneo tehnologiju ne samo za besplatno, dobrovoljno delenje, već i neslućene mogućnosti jeftine, ili čak, besplatne distribucije sadržaja. Takav potencijal treba iskoristiti, a isplativost je, kako pokazuju brojni revolucionarni servisi, moguće postići, bez kriminalizovanja većine konzumenata globalne mreže.

Što se teze o propasti tradicionalih medija tiče, mora se naglasiti da se ne treba na ovaj proces gledati kao na propast, već kao na sintezu televizije, radija i novina u nešto novo. Internet je doneo puno promena u svim sferama društva, a svojim konceptom interaktivnosti nudi otvoreno, dvosmerno iskustvo svojim posetiocima. Zato  treba raditi na razvoju ovih mogućnosti, koje doprinose otvorenom protoku informacija i besplatnom delenju resursa. Tradicionalni mediji jedino mogu preživeti ako promene svoje ustaljene obrasce.

Razvoj interneta doneo je mnogo neminovnosti. Reč je o prirodnom procesu, kojeg fosili prošlosti mogu samo kočiti, ali ne i zaustaviti. Informacija je resurs novog milenijuma i mora ostati slobodna i nekontrolisana.

U sredu, 13. januara, izašao je intervju sa Aleksandrom Blagojevićem. Blagojević je naglasio da je cilj menjati sistem iznutra, i to ne rušenjem, već na što bezbolniji način, uz održanje kulturnog kontinuiteta. On, takođe, kritikuje što politički sistem dozvoljava monopolističko ponašanje izdavačkoj industriji, i ostalim velikim igračima. Ceo tekst na http://www.24sata.rs/vesti.php?id=66704

Dragi građani Srbije,

Trgovački pregovarači iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država rade na tome da proguraju ACTA dogovor [1] u zemljama širom sveta. Plan je da naprave efektivan globalni trgovinski dogovor što je pre moguće u 2010. godini.

Procurele detalje o ovom dogovoru možete naći na Wikileaks [2], na sajtu Evropske Inicijative o Digitalnim Pravima (EDRi) [3] i na sajtu Fondacije za Slobodnu Informacionu Infrastrukturu (FFII) [4].

Internacionalna organizacija za Ekologiju Informacija (Knowledge Ecology International), sa sedištem u USA je takođe radila detaljno na ACTA dogovoru.

Zajedno sa raznim medijskim saopštenjima, ove nevladine organizacije su izrazile veliku zabrinutost vezano i za način pregovaranja i za sadržaj navedenog dogovora.

Pregovaranja su konstantno održavana tajno, daleko od očiju javnosti i od direktno izabranih političara u nacionalnim parlamentima. Ovakav čin je potpuno poguban za demokratiju i jedino pomaže korupciji na globalnom nivou. Sadržaj ovog dogovora je nerado deljen korporacijskim lobistima – povezanim sa IPR “predstavnicima”  (Intellectual Property Rights representatives, Prava na Intelektualnu Svojinu) – pod vođstvom šabloniziranih savetnika.

Ovaj proces niti poštuje niti je uzeo u obzir stav javnosti. Sledeći na koje utiče akt su i vlasnici akcija – zajedno sa Evropskom Asocijacijom ISP-a (EuroISPA, okuplja Internet servis provajdere Evrope)[6]. Internet servis provajderi i u drgim zemljama sveta su takođe došli u isti red. Čak iako nisu deo većih organizacija.

Praktično, malom broju pregovaračkih strana je dozvoljeno da daju konstruktivne informacije ili neki drugi dodatak na tekst. Uključujući i članove EU parlamenta. [7]

Ovaj dogovor je veoma sličan sa U.S. DMCA zakonskim propisom i postavlja neverovatno niske standarde za IPR branioce, kao direktno poništavanje akademskih normi i bez ikakve otvorene javne debate. Pregovarači veoma svesni činjenice da jednom potpisani ovakav akt je praktično nemoguće poništiti ili izmeniti, tako da je značaj problema vanredan.

Prethodna iskustva vezana za IPR nas podsećaju na kontraverzne dogovore prilagođene na globalnom multilateralnom nivou – često u suprotnosti sa nacionalnim planovima – redovno su kasnije podržavani u pregvorima obeju strana čiji su ekonomski odnosi nerazvijeni da bi se stalo iza “bitnog ekonomskog partnera”.

Ovi dogovori su izuzetno štetni za zemlje u razvoju koje nemaju razvijenu IP industriju. Koče domaće investicije i industrijski razvoj ovih nacija. U nekim slučajevima globalna IP pitanja razrešena na ovaj način – ovakvim trgovinskim sporazumima – rezultiraju kriminalom u zdravstvu kao i kriminalom koji uključuje biološki materijal ili biološke informacije.

Način na koji je ovaj trgovinski sporazum pravljen je dovoljan razlog da se odbaci.

ACTA suviše liči na korporacijsku diktaturu; kompletno se oglušujući na održavanje razvoja društva, civilne slobode i nije u vezi sa demokratijom. Ovaj dogovor cilja na to da implementira ekstremne promene u regulativana na globalnom nivou – bez saradnje na globalnom nivou, niti sa učešćem građana iz zemalja koje pregovaraju.

Ovaj dokument nije samo predmet interesovanja Piratskih Partija u svetu, on se mora ticati ostalih organizacija i individua koji poštuju demokratiju.

Zahtevamo da se ovo objavi javnosti i stopira ACTA što pre! U suprotnom biće kasno da se zaustavi ovo ludilo.

Iskreno,

PIRACY – Influence of file-sharing freedom fighters getting stronger. “The Pirate Scare” across Europe

Author: Goyko Vlaovic

Beside the fact that the far-right British National Party (BNP), otherwise known as the die-hard objectors to the existence of the European Union, has won 2 seats in the European Parliament in June elections, the European public was equally shocked by the news that the Swedish Pirate Party (Piratpartiet) also reached the threshold level and got Euro MPs.

Unlike the BNP activists who emphasize their xenophobic attitude and oppose “the non-white immigration of the Old continent”, members of the Pirate Party could, by no means, be put in the same group with the British pro-fascists, since they are recruited mostly from liberal and left-wing circles, and, for the sake of precision, be it mentioned that, visually, they do not in the least resemble former bloodthirsty pirates after whom they got their name.

The scope of interest of the Pirate Party, whose 7.13 percent in elections for European Parliament marks “a slap in the face” to all the mainstream, traditional political parties, is the Internet, and their main goal – legal reformation of laws defining copyright and patents. Rikard Falkwinge, the president, and at this point, the only representative of the Pirate Party in the European Parliament (once the parliaments of all the EU countries ratify The Lisbon Treaty, Amelia Andersdotter shall join him in the seats) has an important mission – to convince his colleagues from the Parliament that “file sharing over the Internet should be entirely free from corporatism of the multinational companies”. In addition to taking a third place in overall number of registered members in Sweden and a first place in number of members of the youth organization Young Pirate (Ung Pirat), The Pirate Party can surely be glad to have established an international network, entitled Pirate Party International (PPI), which gathers “the Pirates” from 32 countries. Among them is The Pirate Party of Serbia, founded on February 2nd, 2008.

- The primary goal of The Serbian Pirate Party, at this stage of its development, is to inform the citizens of their rights and get the environment ready for the acceleration of the information revolution. My definition of the Internet is that it represents a tool for communication and cooperation providing a working and creative environment. It is only partially free since megacorporational tendency to control it is constantly rising. Appart from the money flow, even governments tend to track and index the entire network traffic in more and more detail. We need to have our freedom of speech on the Internet preserved in the future and our right to privacy – says for the Blue Pages Aeksandar Blagojevic, founder and president of the Serbian Pirate Party. When asked why multinational companies are bothered by the activism of Pirate parties throughout the world, Blagojevic says it is because “they are trying to control the market”. He emphasizes that the multionationals’ goal is to keep the money flow provided by certain groups of people.

- Prices of products, such as for instance a new album of a popular group, the newest “appley” computer, operational system made of windows, or some of the “i” telephones are high because the biggest part of the price that a consumer pays is in fact pure profit, made by a corporation by its locking of knowledge. They are able to do that because the system allows the big cats to own monopolies. What the majority of people takes for valuable and on which it spends large sums of money, is in fact corporations having a vampire-like relationship with them, buyers of their products. On one hand, they are convinced they are getting a lot for their money; on the other, a company invests less and less in its actual development and spends most of the time mystifying their products, trying to convince people they are offering something really special. A system established in such a way allows the companies to get the profit even from the citizen’s rights to share something of the collective knowledge that the companies have usurped. An example of free sharing could be, for instance, that the two citizens have exchanged a recipe for a meal and the other one later made that meal. Why would anyone tax him for that? That is the knowledge being exchanged. It could be an exchange of the formula for a new medicine or for the development of a product useful to the society. The issue of locking pharmaceutical knowledge is particularly problematic because it is obviously in direct connection to people’s health – says Blagojevic.

According to him, the information the Pirates are exchanging is the knowledge which should be free of charge and accessible to everyone. He points out the issue of companies owning the power and trying to charge taxes on basically anything that a legal system allows.

- The authors and the authorship have to be protected and adequately respected. However, the problem nowdays is that the authorship is not in the hands of the authors. the corporations are the ones who legally hold more than 90% of the profits to all the creative work of the real authors. It is the essence of the issue, not movie sharing via p2p networks. Pirate Parties are trying to think up new ways of protecting the authors, preserving the current Internet exchange system at the same time. It is of great importance to mention the fact that the Holywood income grows with each year, regardless of the Pirates, and that growth is exponential and huge – says Blagojevic.

The fact that The German Pirate Party has won 850.000 votes in recent elections, the head of Serbian “Pirates” sees as a great success and encouragement to act over here as well.

- In our manifest and programme it is emphasized that the Pirate Party shall never become a part of the present Serbian political establishment. Namely, by the time we’ve thrived, the political system of Serbia will have become more valuable. It shall bring the new quality to citizen rights and freedoms, as well as freedom in general, in any other aspect of life – Blagojevic sums it up.

Jedan od osnovnih i verovatno najvećih problema u aktuelnim društvenim uređenjima jeste zloupotreba informacija od strane centara moći, koji na taj način uspevaju da manipulišu velikim narodnim masama koristeći tradicionalna sredstva informisanja kao što su tv, novine, radio… Read more…

this guys are doin’ a bloody great job!

Holandski sud doneo je danas presudu po kojoj sajt The Pirate Bay mora da ukloni sve torrente koji sadrže kopirajtovan material. Listu torrenta je napravila agencija BREIN (nešto kao holandska RIAA), a presuda je slična kao i prethodno doneta protiv sajta Mininova. Okrivljeni imaju 3 meseca da uklone sporan material, a ako to ne učine, suočeni su su sa kaznom od 5,000 eura po osobi, dnevno.
