Randler posted:Whelp, looks like the LG Köln might have screwed up big time. According to "Die Welt", they might have mistaken the streaming users for ordinary filesharers. Still don't understand why apparently nobody has released one of the § 101 IX UrhG decisions yet. It's like no one really knows how interwebz's working. Germany's copyright laws regarding the "new media" is screwing up so many decisions, ideas and services in the whole system. I wonder if there is any change possible, especially regarding the new elected parliament.

Randler posted:Huge changes to the current copyright laws are very unlikely. Various international treaties and European directives require certain standards to be met. As Germany is required to comply with those, changes on a fundamental level are unlikely. The new coalition has, however, plans to limit the arguably frivolous practise of mass sending cease-and-desist letters to private citizens in response to filesharing. (I also disagree that current German copyright law is inhibiting too many innovations, as it is still very similar to the copyright law of other developed nations due to said international treaties and European harmonization in the field.) It's relatively similar to other developed nations, yes, but as a german you really feel the disadvantages this system contains. In school some things are just not allowed to be shown (as they are in other countries aswell afaik) but sometimes it's just too far. Imho especially in educational systems things like music, findings and worksheets should be free to show for educational purposes. Additionally things every german internet geek knows is the GEMA who forces google/youtube to block thousands of videos containing music that MAY be under GEMA's license, just to avoid incoming law suits. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think in many other european countries there are other concepts to ensure the artists rights and keep art and research findings free for public. Problems of filesharing left out.

Randler posted:German copyright law already limits exploitation rights of the copyright holder in order to facilitate the use of protected works in educational contexts, though. While those limits do not mean the use of protected works is free as in "free beer", it is free in the sense that the right holders are unable to prevent the use of their works. While those usually require reimbursements, those are significantly lower than what they would have to pay for to get a "proper" license to use a protected work. The reimbursement system for educational purposes works through the collecting societies, like the GEMA, similary to how the reimbursement for private copies works by a percentage of storage medium prices going to the societies. Making such uses "free" by removing reimbursements would probably violate constitutional rights in addition to already mentioned international and supranational laws. One noteworthy exception in educational settings is the use of texts explicitly designed for use in educational settings. One has, however, to consider that places of education are the entire market for those products. Would you allow schools to just copy textbooks, there would not be a market for text books at all. You're right. Even though some cases are just ridiculous, like that one that led to a lawsuit against a kindergarden just because some children sang christmas songs which stood under GEMA license. Similar cases happened in some schools aswell and that's kind of ridiculous. Randler posted:Regarding YouTube, the GEMA gets an undeserved bad reputation. It's a collecting society, which could be simplified as being similar to a union for creators of protected works. The GEMA has bargaining rights, because the original creators want the GEMA to have those. Nothing stops the creators from trying to enforce their copyrights on their own. As a matter of fact, some music labels tried to make their own organization for licensing certain music producuts. They were very insistent on their new baby not being a collecting society. Because collecting societies are legally limited in negotiating. They basically have to offer everybody in the same position the same price and are not allowed to deny licenses. As a matter of fact, GEMA has no problems getting agreements with other services, including Google's own Google Music. GEMA required removal of a few videos as a warning sign, to which Google reacted by blocking a lot of content off to German customers while falsely implying they were required by the GEMA to do so. Google is overreacting, yes, but 12 cents per view on a public video is pretty high so I understand Google's point of view as well as GEMA's intention to help artists to get their stuff sorted. You shouldn't forget that there are several reports of self-enrichment inside of the GEMA, incidents of failed transaction of huge amounts of money to the rightholders without any reimbursements etc. Failure on both sides and the regular german internet user has to deal with the consequences.

Randler posted:I've heard that complaint many times yet was unable to find any traces of the GEMA going to court over children singing Christmas songs in schools or kindergartens. So I'd be grateful if you can provide something to back up this claim, because I kinda assume that it's one of those copyright myths that gets paraded around the internet like "You have to defend copyrights, otherwise you lose them!". The only realistic scenario were I'd expect the GEMA to sue over singing children woulud be if they were giving a public performance at their school which was open to the general public. Sadly not a myth. They didn't sue them directly, but gave many kindergartens in germany a warning to pay for every song sung in public and for every copied sheet of music. ( German source from "Stern" quoting the "Hamburger Abendblatt") The prices for the license contracts goes up to 168 Euro + taxes for 1500 copies, according to the dts (Source) Even though it's limited to songs sung in public (with means mainly parents of the children since it's a kindergarten) we're talking about simple songs sung by children up to 6 years old. Kindergartens in germany are funded by free institutions (mainly local parishs) or the municipality and as such it's money that could be saved.

Randler posted:First things first though, while the GEMA send those letters, the content of the letters stems from the VG Musikedition. The GEMA merely offered administrative assistance. So blaming the GEMA for the content of the letters is akin to yelling at the mailman for bringing bills. Furthermore, the claim that the GEMA/VG Musikedition asked for every song sung in public in that letter is not true as can be seen from the actual content of the letter in question. (The GEMA itself links aforementioned transcribtion of the letter.) The letter in question also does not constitute an "Abmahung" (cease and desist letter). It merely informs the recipients of the two ways to get legal note sheets: Buy the necessary amount of note books or pay a fee to get a copying license. The latter one likely being cheaper. Alright, you got me. Didn't read the primary sources of the articles and trusted in mass media and collective hysteria. Thanks for clearing this up. Duzzy Funlop posted:Thankfully, nothing. I have the good fortune of both having worked for a lawyer-friend of mine for about 6 years and having a sister that married into a family of lawyers, so just in my immediate surrounding, there are 3 guys I can go to that'll be okay with doing small things pro bono if it's in the family.

Never saw a problem in some ~unpractical~ careers from some politicians. To be honest Gysi is a pretty funny guy from the Left and he's actually kicking some lazy butts in the parliament. I don't really care about what he did since it wasn't that evil. However Wagenknecht is sometimes a bit more complicated. Lucy Heartfilia posted:Indeed. Capitalism isn't part of the Grundgesetz after all. There is no constitutional reason for Germany to have a capitalist economic system. In my opinion Germany already is some kind of 80%-socialistic-republic with a relatively healthy mix from socialism, capitalism and communism regarding basic social features German law provides, such as mandatory insurance, social insurance, educational system, bank rescues, Hartz IV etc. And as far as I can see no one really has a problem with that, especially the Grundgesetz/Bundesverfassungsgericht.

botany posted:The gap between rich and poor is wider than it's ever been, Hart IV is an incredibly regressive piece of legislature that has done more than its fair share to exascerbate income inequality, and we're seeing a strong trend towards underemployment rather than unemployment, which is actually a bad thing. Fun fact: last year the income inequality between men and women actually fell a percentage point -- because poor men are earning even less, slowly regressing towards the level of income that women are at already. Some loving socialist utopia this country is. I've never stated there wouldn't be a gap between the rich and poor, especially in highly industrialized countries like Germany. Additionally I said "some kind of 80%-socialism", not socialistic utopia. Also I wouldn't mark a big gap between rich and poor people as a socialistic/communistic feature either. It's not like there wasn't and isn't a gap in socialistic systems as well. To the contrary, there were stark differences between some classes of population in the UDSSR and China as well - North Korea is another example. I said some ideas and concepts in Germany are based on classic socialistic mindset and as such, it is "social" or "socialistic" if you want to put a difference in it. Edit: Randler posted:I guess it depends on where your treshold for socialism is. For the average American, Germany and European Union would probably be socialism. For my understanding, an economic system is only socialistic once it no longer fits under the broadest definition of capitalism, which describes on principle private ownership of the means of production and distribution of economic goods by the market.

Kam es in dieser Legislaturperiode überhaupt je zu einer Abstimmung dazu? Soweit ich mich erinnere, gab es doch gefühlt hunderte Vertagungen, plus diese Grünen-Klage vor dem BVerG letztens eben genau deswegen. Heiko Maas scheint in der Sache sogar noch instabiler als die SPD-Umfragewerte nach dem Schulz-Hype.
