Mentre prosegue la raccolta delle firme per la petizione avviata da Peacelink contro la proposta di riforma del diritto d’autore recentemente avanzata, un altro provvedimento – anche qui al momento solo a livello di proposta – potrebbe insidiare la blogosfera e chi mette a disposizione contenuti video su web. L’allarme lo lancia il Times con l’articolo Amateur ‘video bloggers’ under threat from EU broadcast rules a proposito di una direttiva che, se passasse, potrebbe imporre licenze o concessioni a chiunque diffonda materiale audiovideo in rete. Il nodo sembra basarsi sull’estensione del concetto di broadcasting.

EU ‘Television Without Frontiers’ Regulations Widely Rejected
Posted by Kevin Marks in Net Neutrality, Logical Fallacies, Consultations, Computer Law at October 25th, 2006

The European Union’s plan to regulate the net as if it were TV – Television Without Frontiers – picked up a lot of attention in blogs this week, after the Times covered it.

The basic idea is flawed – TV involves handing a monopoly over spectrum to organisations, so regulating how they use it makes some sense, but there is no spectrum scarcity online, as all you need is a webserver. So the EU limits on local content, advertising intervals and content labelling don’t fit at all.

I spoke about this on the Technorati videoblog last week, and the BBC’s Pods and Blogs show last night. You can hear me about 30 minutes into this show recording.
