  • Review of the EU Copyright Framework
    Review of the EU copyright framework European Implementation Assessment Review of the EU copyright framework: The implementation, application and effects of the "InfoSoc" Directive (2001/29/EC) and of its related instruments European Implementation Assessment Study In October 2014, the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) requested from the European Parliament Research Service (EPRS) an Ex Post Impact Assessment on Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (InfoSoc). This EPRS publication was originally commissioned in the context of JURI's own- initiative implementation report, which was adopted in Plenary in July 2015, Rapporteur Julia Reda MEP. However, it is also relevant to the work of JURI Committees' Working Group on Intellectual Property Rights and Copyright (CWG), chaired by Jean Marie Cavada MEP. Furthermore, this request was made in the wider context of the Commission's review of the EU legislative framework on copyright, and the ensuing legislative proposals, which have been a long time in the planning and which are now expected for the 4th quarter of 2015. The objective of these proposals is to modernise the EU copyright framework, and in particular the InfoSoc Directive, in light of the digital transformation. Accordingly, in response to the JURI request, the Ex-Post Impact Assessment Unit of the European Parliament Research Service decided to produce a "European Implementation Assessment on the review of the EU copyright framework". Implementation reports of EP committees are now routinely accompanied by European Implementation Assessments, drawn up by the Ex-Post Impact Assessment Unit of the Directorate for Impact Assessment and European Added Value, within the European Parliament's Directorate-General for Parliamentary Research Services.

In this page, we’ve reviewed 30+ most popular VPN services (on going process). In order to find out which are best VPNs, we spent some time on research and speed testing: 1. Installed 30+ VPN software on our personal devices, such as Windows, Mac, Android and iOS and compared their usability. 2. Performed Download/Upload speed tests on speedtest.net to see which had best performing servers. 3. Double checked if they work with Netflix and allow P2P. 4. Read their TOS to verify if they keep logs or not. 5. Compared security (encryption and protocols).

  • Vyprvpn Auf Einem ASUS Router Einrichten “Schritt Für Schritt”
    8.11.2019 Anleitung: ASUS Router mit VPN in Betrieb nehmen "Schritt für Schritt" mit VyprVPN - dem besten VPN-Service für sicheres Sufen Menue Anleitung: VyprVPN auf einem ASUS Router einrichten “Schritt für Schritt” von Markus Hanf Letzte Aktualisierung: 12. September 2019 Approbierter Mathematiker und Netzwerkspezialist. Dozent an einigen Universitäten. Es ist ganz einfach einen ASUS Router direkt in Betrieb zu nehmen, ganz unabhängig davon welchen Internetrouter Du derzeit verwendest. Wir haben einen ganzen Vorgang der Inbetriebnahme in einer Anleitung beschrieben. VPN Router Schematische Darstellung Einen VPN-Service direkt über den ASUS Router zu verwenden bietet die folgenden Vorteile: Alle Geräte (auch SmartTV, FireTV, AndroidTV, xBox usw) werden zuverlässig über VPN verbunden ohne Softwareinstallation. Die Firewall und die zusätzlichen Schutzfunktionen die im Router vorhanden sind lassen es zu, auch Kinder und Jugendliche vor Bedrohungen aus dem Internet zu schützen. (Malwareschutz, Sperren von Webseiten, Zugriff für bestimmte Apps auf Smartphones usw) Die gesamte Familie wird zuverlässig vor Abmahnungen und sonstigen Fallen im Internet geschützt, ohne dass dabei Software oder Apps auf den Geräten zusätzlich installiert werden müssen. Die Benutzer des Routers werden “Anonymisiert” und nutzen damit eine nicht direkt zuordenbare Internetadresse für alle täglichen Aktivitäten. Zuverlässiger Schutz aller Nutzer vor Überwachung und Vorratsdatenspeicherung und damit auch eine aktive Maßnahme für eine bessere Privatsphäre. Hilfe & Beratung
