The background to this discussion is that in the March 51 crime writers burst the collar is: In an open letter complaining that the cultural sector, as "green, pirates, and network community," the upgrade "too complicated copyright" or completely abolish wanted. They accused the two parties to agree to place the interests of users far beyond those of the authors and artists. Long before this letter was a veritable war rages over the copyright on the Internet. The battlefields are called YouTube and GEMA, illegal file sharing, recycling and Abmahnindustrie and copyright law. The front line runs along the question of how to live their songs, artists, images and texts can and who can do what to do on the Internet - and what does not.
For example, the right of private copying on the Internet? How long should a copyright retain the power to dispose of his works and he can sell all the exploitation rights for "all the time and also for unknown types of use" to publishers and producers? Or lest the precarious employment situation of authors of a "recovery industry" is shamelessly exploited? May GEMA songs "not available in your country" do? And when you want the copyright protection of music and movies?

Script-writer, among other things, the crime sceneHe says: "The Leidensmaß is full. The concept of intellectual property rights eroded and is now called intellectual property. Artists will be degraded and dispossessed by umwidmet terms. What will be uploaded on the net most are products of an extremely advanced culture, working in the highly specialized people who can barely live by their art. We want to be involved in the discussion of copyright, because the Net community is not the whole world. "

 Counsel of the Association of Independent Music Companies Association VUT and lawyer specializing in copyright and media lawHe says: "Right on the Internet must be enforceable, or is also a modern copyright only an empty shell. Imperative, therefore, is especially a revision of the Telemedia and the Data Protection Act to ensure that existing monopolies on the Internet and make no further strengthen the rules to their business models. From the perspective of a creative, it is that is does not matter if he does not assert his rights on the Internet 20, 50 or 70 years can. "
