Kleingedrucktes aus den USA

Hi Liste, im New Scientist Nr.2910 S.35ff findet sich der Artikel 'Lost in the Clouds', welcher sich mit der Problematik von Cloudspeicher etc. befasst und wie wenig die Menschen ueber die rechtliche Seite wissen. Darin steht, dass man nach amerikanischen Rechtsverstaendnis seine Rechte an den Daten aufgibt sobald man sie in der 'Cloud' speichert. (Wird gerade vor Gericht geprueft: Kyle Goodwin VS USA, Mr. Goodwin wird dabei von der EFF unterstuetzt). Kennt jemand eine Seite die sich mit solchen Fallstricken beschaeftigt ? Wo kann man was nachlesen ? uebrigends, Email die aelter sind als 6 Monate und auf einem US-Server liegen, koennen ohne Durchsuchungsbefehl o.ae. durchsucht werden. re, wh

[FSFE PR][DE] FSFE objects to claims of 'predatory pricing' in Free Software

*Achtung:* Von dieser Seite existiert noch keine Übersetzung. Im Moment sehen Sie die originale Version dieser Seite. Bitte informieren Sie sich hier[1], um zu sehen, wie Sie uns bei Übersetzungen und anderen Dingen unterstützen können. = FSFE objects to claims of 'predatory pricing' in Free Software = [Online lesen: http://fsfe.org/news/2013/news-20130729-01.de.html ] In a recent antitrust submission to the European Commission, a Microsoft-led coalition falsely claimed that the distribution of Free Software free of charge hurts competition. FSFE has written[2] a letter to the European Commission's competition authorities to refute this claim, and make it clear that Free Software is critical for an open, competitive IT market. In its letter, FSFE urges the Commission to consider the facts properly before accepting these allegations at face value. "Free Software is a boon for humankind. The only thing that it is dangerous to is Microsoft's hopelessly outdated, restrictive business model," says Karsten Gerloff, FSFE's president. The so-called "FairSearch" coalition is essentially asking the European Commission to favour a restrictive business model over a liberal one. This is exactly the opposite of what competition regulators should do in order to achieve a fair and open market. "Free Software is not about price, it's about liberty, a guarantee of competition and vendor independence. Asking to cripple Free Software in order to allow proprietary vendors to sell their locked-down systems is just abusurd" says Carlo Piana, FSFE's General Counsel. "The most substantial threat to competition in the mobile space today are software patents, and we have repeatedly urged antitrust authorities to address this problem," he adds. FSFE asks the European Commission to dismiss the "FairSearch" coalition's unfounded claims regarding predatory pricing, and not make them part of whatever steps it decides to take in response to the group's filing. 1. http://fsfe.org/contribute/contribute.de.html 2. http://fsfe.org/activities/policy/eu/20130729.EC.Fairsearch.letter.en.html == About the Free Software Foundation Europe == The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is a non-profit non-governmental organisation active in many European countries and involved in many global activities. Access to software determines participation in a digital society. To secure equal participation in the information age, as well as freedom of competition, the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) pursues and is dedicated to the furthering of Free Software, defined by the freedoms to use, study, modify and copy. Founded in 2001, creating awareness for these issues, securing Free Software politically and legally, and giving people Freedom by supporting development of Free Software are central issues of the FSFE. http://fsfe.org/ _______________________________________________ Press-release-de mailing list Press-release-de(a)fsfeurope.org https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/press-release-de

Comment on Bill Gates' statement to free software
by Jacob Dawid 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hello folks, I found it important to comment on Bill Gates's statement to free software. Here is the entire blogpost as a copy. If you like it, you are free to share it. " <CIT> Thank God for commercial software. It actually funds salaries, gives people jobs. And thank God for free software, it lets people get things out there, you can play around, build on. The two work very well in an ecosystem - Bill Gates </CIT> What a pile of fraudulent praise. The problem here is that Mr. Gates is making a difference between commercial and free software, as if the advantages of free software could be justified on an economic scale. In fact, most free software is available gratis today, which is the consequence of a market where the duplication cost (copying) is almost zero*. So, does Mr. Gates conciously lie to you? Kind of, because as soon as you read between the lines he is making a third, hidden statement through his opposition - a clever stroke to say something while you're not actually saying it. Each of his statements is absolutely valid: Commercial software funds salaries and gives people jobs. Meanwhile, it is also true that free software lets people play around and build on. There are two more truths: There is also a yet substantial and growing amount of free software developed and used in commercial fields, which also funds salaries and gives jobs. Plus, people can also play around and build on proprietary software, which is difficult but not impossible for software for which the developers did not release the source code, but more realistically in cases where developers released their source code under a non-free license. So while you technically can play around and build on that kind of software, you are committing illegal action (as regarded by law) as soon as you start to enhance or run it as you like - or whatever silly restriction there may be. Hence, Mr. Gates' statement is extremely harmful to free software, not only because he is omitting the nasty truth, but at the same time he is implicitly giving people the false impression that commercial success is unconditionally bound to be a feature to proprietary software. * Well, it is not exactly zero. If you buy free software on CD, making a copy requires you to pay the physical medium and the cost of actually making a copy. If you get your copy over the internet, you have to pay for an internet connection and eventually someone has to pay for the server, both the server itself and the running expenses of that server."

Bill Gates zu Freier Software in der Bildung
by Matthias Kirschner 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Nettes Zitat von Bill Gates zu Freier Software in der Bildung: http://www.golem.de/news/bill-gates-gott-sei-dank-fuer-kommerzielle-und-fue… Gefragt nach seiner Ansicht zu geistigem Eigentum, antwortete Gates: "Gott sei Dank für kommerzielle Software" - diese ernähre eine Menge Menschen, die in diesem Bereich arbeiteten -, um gleich nachzusetzen: "Gott sei Dank für freie Software." Diese habe beispielsweise im Bildungswesen eine wichtige Funktion, da sie Schülern und Studenten die Möglichkeit biete, zu experimentieren und zu lernen. (Natürlich im Kontext: Aber für's Unternehmen kauft ihr dann doch Microsoft Office ;) .)
