Neck Gets Stiff As Day Goes On

three-step test to the Telemedia Act

At the Telemedia Act on compatibility checks to the Internet age. On Netzpolitik.org there was this one call as a user in the various places of public broadcasters to report to lobby for longer accessibility, free licenses and the elimination of the transmission cover.

I have done with this mail to all relevant bodies, for public law produced content should remain public - even after more than seven days!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

as contributors and users of the public media offer them I would describe my idea of a meaningful future of public service media in Germany and would be happy if this would find under the current three-step test into account.

- much longer availability of the content, so you can see, even after several weeks publicly funded content on the Internet. The best for ever!
- Free licenses and formats so that everyone can see and use the content - even more so to culturally valuable works by creating remixes.
- Send reference is no longer relevant in the Internet age. All material should be available be not only what has been given in the traditional media a slot. Created information and cultural heritage must be accessible to the citizens!
- Appealing presentation of content, preferably with subtitles for the hearing impaired and contextual information (tags, production and the release date, names of the performers / speakers, etc.).

Thank you very much, that they also respond to user requests. has

Each of interest that for example the issues of the day even after a couple of years are still available should participate. Please note that the deadline for ARD job ends on Wednesday! ZDF has a few weeks longer an open mailbox.

Belgian Waffle Krusteaz For One Guy

power locks Ausweitungsfoderungen

order to document for posterity as the censorship in Germany has kept river, when I take once a person who made the claims which the blocking of websites and what else was on significant events.

  • 10/01/2007: Wolfgang Schäuble (Federal Minister of the Interior, CDU) calls terrorist content, and more attributes to block
  • 27.08.2008: BKA-Chef Jörg Zierke calls obligation on ISPs to block child pornographic websites

  • 1/12/2008: After the request of the Hessian Ministry of Interior (under Volker Bouffier, CDU) will also foreign gambling sites be locked to protect the state monopoly
  • 27/01/2009: In the telecom package of the EU to copyright owners by Internet access barriers (block of access, not content) are protected
  • 12.2.2009: falls in the first parliamentary debate on power locks after 12 minutes, the word " Copyright "
  • March 2009: Dieter Gorny (chairman of the Federation the music industry will) power locks to protect intellectual property
  • 04/14/2009: The provider Vodafone / Arcor, German Telekom, Alice, cable and O2 Germany sign a "voluntary" commitment blocking child pornography websites
  • 06/05/2009: Dieter Wiefelspütz (SPD), expresses his thoughts in general websites with to criminal content block
  • 6.6.2009: Wolfgang Bosbach (Vice-Chairman of the Group CDU) wants only used child pornography

  • 18/06/2009: Order of the network lock law in parliament by a grand coalition (CDU / CSU and SPD)

  • 07/10/2009: Federal Power Act accepted locks with the help of the FDP and the Greens -led government
particular, the beginning of the whole debate shows that politics always blocking and deletion of hazardous or criminal had in mind.
is of course especially the Union throughout the course of the debate has repeatedly stressed that it was only about the blocking of child pornographic sites. Just kind of seem to have some members not quite understand it ...
