Personally, I Quite Agree (Aug 13 2003 02:47 GMT) - Dennis Kennedy chimed in yesterday about the ABA's July 25 Bemused About Blogging article: The little blog break was a good thing, too, because I now have a better feel for some of the things I'd like to do with this blog – new directions, a somewhat more personal approach, and some surprises, I suppose. I know that I sure do disagree with the recent article suggesting that lawyers who blog should take care to show no personality or, God forbid, mention their interest in Nascar. How will people know how much I'd appreciate great tickets to the Daytona 500 if I can't mention it in my blog? |

El cànon dels CD-R i DVD-R (Aug 13 2003 02:46 GMT) - Aquests dies circula la notícia que el proper 1 de setembre, els CD verges portaran un cànon de 18 cèntims per unitat, que cobraran les societats que gestionen drets d'autor (principalment la SGAE). Segons sembla, s'ha difós un document que té com a origen la patronal tecnològica ASIMELEC, que aglutina els 80% dels fabricants de CD de l'estat espanyol, en el qual ASIMELEC, AIE (Artistas Intérpretes o Ejecutantes), AISGE (Artistas Intérpretes, Sociedad de Gestión), EGEDA (Entidad de Gestión de Derechos de Propiedad Intelectual), SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores), DAMA (Derechos de Autor de los Medios Audiovisuales) i CEDRO (Centro Español de Derechos Reprográficos) haurien arribat a aquest acord de forma privada. Aquest cànon es refereix només a la còpia privada, amb la qual cosa de fet no legalitza el top-manta. Però el fet és que sembla vulnerar l'article 25.3 de la llei de Propietat Intel·lectual que, en regular la remuneració per còpia privada estableix que "lo dispuesto en los apartados anteriores no será de aplicación a los programas de ordenador". |
