                Bald EU-illegalisiert: Software Backups, Videos

      Letzteres sagt dieser BBC-Bericht. Wie in den USA hat die Lobby  
der Software-  & Unterhaltungsindustrie ein Zeichen gegen das  
anbrechende Zeitalter des Zitats & die damit verbundene Erosion  
des sogenannten "Copyrights" gesetzt. Software Backups wie  
Video/aufzeichnungen sollen tunlichst in die Nähe des Illegalen  
gerückt werden - das wird den Markt/platz aber freuen & die   
"Consumer Confidence".

Plans to restrict the right of individuals to record programmes and  
music for personal use were unveiled at the launch of a new  
campaign for a "fair practice" clause in the proposed EU Copyright  
Directive, currently being deliberated by the European Parliament.  
.... 
Frank Harris, of the European Fair Practices in Copyright  
Campaign, which is backed by other pressure groups, said that  
although he supports laws to ensure copyright protection,  
"Brussels must recognise that fair practices in terms of access to  
copyrighted works is not commercial piracy and causes no  
damage to copyright holders".  
... 
The hope is that Euro-MPs will insist on changes to safeguard the  
interests of the blind and partially-sighted, the deaf and partially- 
deaf, librarians, teachers and consumers generally.
