FSF gegen ACTA
von markus um 14:54 am 21.7.2008|
Die Free Software Foundation hat jetzt auch gegen das geplante Anti-Piraterie-Abkommens ACTA (Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) eine Stellungnahme veröffentlicht: ACTA threatens free software.
1. It makes it more difficult to distribute free software: Without file sharing and P2P technologies like BitTorrent, distributing large amounts of free software becomes much harder, and more expensive. BitTorrent is a grassroots protocol that allows everyone to contribute to legally distributing free software.
2. It will make it harder for users of free operating systems to play media: Consumers will no longer be able to buy media without DRM — and DRMed media cannot be played with free software.
3. It increases the chances of getting your devices taken away: Portable media players that support free formats are less common than devices which support DRM, such as the iPod. Will this make them suspicious to border guards?
4. It creates a culture of surveillance and suspicion, in which the freedom that is required to produce free software is seen as dangerous and threatening rather than creative, innovative, and exciting.
