Wertdeenlaces.net - Sinde law

hacktivistas.net | 21.02.2012 21:34 | Culture | Technology

After launching several campaigns in order to denounce and let Spanish politicians understand how absurd is a law as Ley Sinde (in honour to the then Minister for Culture), later known as Ley Sinde-Biden (because of the fact that we discovered thanks to Wikileaks that this law came to us dictated from the USA) and nowadays known as Ley Sinde-Biden-Wert or Ley Sinde-Wert (as is the new Minister for Edutation, Culture and Sports who has finally implemented it)... we make a come with Wert de Enlaces [N.T.: this is a word play as it sounds similar to Web de Enlaces, which means Links web].  http://www.wertdeenlaces.net

After launching several campaigns in order to denounce and let Spanish politicians understand how absurd is a law as Ley Sinde (in honour to the then Minister for Culture), later known as Ley Sinde-Biden (because of the fact that we discovered thanks to Wikileaks that this law came to us dictated from the USA) and nowadays known as Ley Sinde-Biden-Wert or Ley Sinde-Wert (as is the new Minister for Edutation, Culture and Sports who has finally implemented it)... we make a come with Wert de Enlaces [N.T.: this is a word play as it sounds similar to Web de Enlaces, which means Links web].

As you might know, the lobby from the cultural industry has not ceased its activity and finally the law to "protect the authors" will come into effect next 1st March. The context in which it will enter is really worrying:
At the beginning of this year, the owner of Megaupload was detained in New Zeland in a disproportionate operation, running out of arguments about the necessity of approving another controversial law: SOPA.
In a much closer context to us, last week in Spain, that is, two weeks before the new law will come into effect, the Spanish Justice stated once again that Cinetube, one of the links webs denounced for sharing links, is legal. You can read about it here.

The idea behind Wert de Enlaces is:
We have chosen a Copyrighted© work from a member of SGAE (the main Spanish collecting society).
In order to participate in this action you only have to link his work from your blog or use it without his permission and allow to be denounced by the creator to the Ministry of Culture Comission in charge to process without any judicial trial the denounces of the Sinde-Wert Law.
At some point from 1st March, the author will get annoyed for sure and he will denounce all the websites that have linked his work : )

If you want to know more you can consult in our wiki how this action was planned.

The aim of this action is testing this law and being the first ones who use it in order to show the absurdity and the censorship that it will bring, as we have already show its inefficiency in the Disobedience to Sinde Law's Manual [Manual de desobediencia a la Ley Sinde].
From Hacktivistas.net we invite you to participate. Feel free to spread this action in order to reach the maximum impact. To participate you only have to enter  http://www.wertdeenlaces.net and fill out the form from where you will accuse yourself for having distributed without permission a registered work. The work's author will use this information to report the matter.
