The pirates entern the politics policy The Piratenpartei pulls citizens of Berlin in the Lower House. For the first time since then Berlin capital is, starts here a new political current. A current, which the other parties did not take not surveyed but seriously: The digital civil rights, thus the rights of the citizen in the digital age. Until today no other party had arrived in the Internet. Neither in the practical sense, which concerns its accessibility and able to communicatenesses. Still in the political sense, which new questions of power and interest LV in the Internet again developed. We never saw Merkel and Schröder in the Internet surfing. At best with a mobile phone in the hand. But it did not hold to have for the censorship of the Internet an opinion. As generation " Internetausdrucker" and censors. For the transformation of whole medium industries in the Internet neither answers to the new possibilities and markets occurred to the German music industry nor the policy. When they did not supply, the youth procured itself the music, where it could get it. And became of not supplying Dieter Gornys and CO. but promptly kriminalisiert. Gerierten themselves even of those, as the guarantors of economic freedom: the citizen of Berlin FDP.
It was located in person of Martin Lindner on the side in Berlin of the residents of music companies. Of the theories and demands of American law professor Lawrence Lessig medium politicians heard such as Hans Joachim Otto (FDP) surely never somewhat or read. German medium politicians are occupied rather with how they expand the concept of the GEZ fee since Internet computers. The conservative ones saw seeing and in the Internet above all an area, which must be surveillance. Each assassination attempt, each arrested terrorist serves them as pretext to tighten the monitoring further. Even if the author of Norway were a loner. Even if the suspects arrested last in Berlin drove their explosive plans selfly-sufficient in front.
Freelance and as little businessmen organized software developers finally lift themselves for years against the developments in things of software patents. Software should be not patentable, demands it. The patent law originates from the time of the steam engine. Patents promoted not, but obstructed the development of software for the Internet age. Monopolies are harmful for the networking determine it. I do not see that in such a way. But I expect like it that the policy is occupied with it more seriously than Brigitte Zypries (SPD), which disclaimed to the fact in the heise chat that it gives here a problem, because a patent application cost only sixty EUROS, which can itself carry out for everyone. Suspected by the conservative ones, from which FDP betrayed and from the SPD (see also protection of children and young people medium convention) and the Greens did not understand, the generation Internet evenly created a party. Correctly so. Their name " Piratenpartei" points to its Denunzierung by the established parties: Softwarepiraten, Musikpiraten, copyright violator stop. Who concerns its thing with as much self-mockery, harvests additional sympathies. I am strained, as they will continue to develop. And whether will nevertheless still take care of SPD and FDP of the digital civil rights. Then the politics policy would have arrived finite in the Internet age. Also over fifteen years delay. Adjusted of franc over Reactions: I don' t care how long this load Incoming goods have NO future - incoming goods have NO past I write this now while I' m in control I' ll choose the words and how the melody goes Paul Weller, " Sunflower" Patent law: The electric cars of the moon basis alpha 1 Some technology enterprises learn only now that inventions, which were devised and published by man of letters and scriptwriters can oppose a Design or a patent application.
Yesterday some journalist criticized, e.g. the political feuilleton in Deutschlandradio. But that is nevertheless the sense of the commercial patent rights to request i.e. to new one. Too new one been never there. However consider I the criticism at the too low hurdles for Patenterteilungen partially entitled. If it googles quite has that in a Smartphone, which is world-wide produced or marketed up to 250.000 patents are - and thus just as many licenses become necessary apparently clearly, which the problem is: Too many gradual (incremental) improvements are patented. On the other hand is also comprehensible, products over decades many inventions accumulate. In the Smartphone unite telephony, radio, Internet, image processing, navigation. The straight integration and/or compression of so many basic functionalities combines afterwards also many patents in itself. And with cars: Should the development be occupied from the Benz Patentwagen to the hybrid car today's standards without patents, if this development did not carry out itself over few large, but many small inventions? The same car without patent protection, if many small steps were? We stand obviously for the first time in technology history before the phenomenon, which not physical or economical borders separate the legal end of a development mark could: The quantity of necessary rights is not controllable any longer. Neither overviewable, nor financially riskable. That is not valid however for the Design patents, which " in Germany; Geschmacksmuster" are called.
It must belong to the routine before the Design decision for a product, the product world in the shop windows and the data bases of the patent offices to have examined. It lies close that the Design of a successful product, of which all world says it also because of its Design bought, protected is. Finally the same enterprises weight also regularly about Chinese plagiarisms. Turned around, a Design patent may be not too simply formulated. " Flat one, rectangular devices with rounded off Ecken" (as per Deutschlandradio) should rather the Tablet PC mark and not only iPad. In addition, in other industries now risks lie in wait. For example in the electrical mobility. Already times does someone have the films through-scanned, in which electrically propelled moon cars occur? How is the load technology there realized? The operation? How is the moon car on the dark side of the moon heated? Are there Rangeextender? Who knows, perhaps one is " the project; National Elektromobilitätsplattform" still with the reference to the first consequences of moon basis alpha 1 to break off must… These SPD politicians said the truth - however too early Oskar Lafontaine equivalent several times: As a candidate for the chancellorship he, the German reunification said 1990 was not eligible for financing without tax increases. Its opponent Kohl denied this, won the choice and introduced the solidarity tax. As a Minister of Finance it warned before ever more powerfully becomes Finanzoligarchen, which threaten to get out of control. It demanded among other things the financial transaction tax, which demanded Mrs. Merkel previous week, thus 12 years after Lafontaine, together with Sarkozy. Lafontaine demanded also since 1986 (" The other Fortschritt") the exit from the atomic energy.
Franz Müntefering compared 2005 the behavior of anonymous large investors with grasshopper troubles. It thought thereby particularly of so-called private Equity, on German: Levered assumption companies, which take over healthy enterprises, cannibalize themselves and afterwards left (examples: Grohe, Märklin). He was criticized for his comparison violently by the FDP and Michael Wolffsohn. Its comparison is considered today as mainstream. Kurt Beck suggested 2007 for the solution of the Afghanistan crisis of discussions with moderate Taliban. It harvested scorn and mockery of the union, in particular Secretary of Defense Guttenberg, and the PICTURES newspaper. At the end of of 2009 took up minister of foreign affairs Westerwelle Becks proposal, as if it had been its own idea.
