Internet è una parte essenziale della vita, secondo un tribunale tedesco

secondo me non e' una parte, ma proprio una "dimensione", come articolavo qui...

The internet is an 'essential' part of life, says German high court | The Verge.

A German federal court this week ruled that consumers have the right to monetary compensation whenever their internet service is interrupted. In what German media outlets are calling a "landmark" ruling, a judge at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe determined that the internet is an "essential" part of life, echoing similar decisions from courts in France and Finland.

L'erba del vicino: il garante della privacy dello Schleswig-Holstein si lamenta con Facebook perchè non consente di usare degli alias

German state fights Facebook over alleged privacy violations | World news | guardian.co.uk.

In letters to Zuckerberg in California, and also to Dublin-based Facebook Ireland Ltd, the data protection commissioner for the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, Thilo Weichert, said the current rules violated German law by requiring users to provide their identities. "It is unacceptable that a US portal like Facebook violates German data protection law, unopposed and with no prospect of an end," said Weichert. Under German law, media services, including Facebook, must offer users the choice of using a pseudonym

L'erba del vicino: il ministro francese Pellerin rinvia la posizione sulla Net Neutrality a fine febbraio

Neutralité du Net : Fleur Pellerin renvoie au séminaire intergouvernemental et au CNNum.

La ministre a en effet renvoyé la balle en direction du séminaire intergouvernemental de la fin du mois de février, ainsi qu'au "nouveau Conseil national du numérique", invité à "réfléchir sur la question" de l'opportunité de légiférer dès sa prise de fonction, le 18 janvier.

Pour Jérémie Zimmermann, porte-parole de la Quadrature du Net, "en saisissant une obscure commission plutôt qu'en annonçant le dépôt d'une loi garantissant la neutralité du Net, la ministre de l'Economie numérique protège les intérêts des opérateurs au détriment de ceux des utilisateurs. Fleur Pellerin botte en touche et abandonne les citoyens, les laissant à la merci de restrictions d'accès dangereuses pour l'innovation et les libertés."

dire che dalle parti de La Quadrature du Net non siano conetnti, è riduttivo..

Net Neutrality in France: Is Minister Fleur Pellerin of Any Use? | La Quadrature du Net.

The disappointment after the round table organized by the French Minister Fleur Pellerin on Net Neutrality was predictable. The debate only served to cover up the Minister's inaction. Evading the issue by referring it to an obscure committee, the Minister postpones again any ambitions for a draft law protecting citizens.

L'erba del vicino: crescita a doppia cifra del mercato musicale in Svezia

Enfasi aggiunteda me:

Overall music sales in Sweden in 2012 showed an increase of 14 percent, from just over SEK 829 million in sales in 2011 to over SEK 943 million in 2012, according to the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF).
Digital sales continue to increase and now account for 63 percent of total music sales, up by 12 percentage points compared to last year. A total of 90 percent of the digital sales come from streamed music services (82 percent in 2011) while 10 percent are from other internet services (18 percent in 2011).

Ludvig Werner, CEO, International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) Sweden, commented on the figures:
“It’s very pleasing to see that 2012 was the best year for music sales since 2005. This is a clear sign that more consumers are paying for their music consumption than for some time. Now everyone can consume music legally in whatever way they choose: streamed, downloaded or on CD. We hope that a recovering market for music will encourage artists and music companies to release more music and that in turn our entrepreneurs will create even more and better services for music consumption.”
