Works of authorship where the copyright protection has expired. Copyright is a temporary right granted to authors. Once this temporary protection has come to its end, all legal restrictions cease to exist, subject in some countries to the author's perpetual moral rights. 2. The essential commons of information that is not covered by copyright. Works that are not protected by copyright because they fail the test of originality, or are excluded from protection (such as data, facts, ideas, procedures, processes, systems, methods of operation, concepts, principles, or discoveries, regardless of the form in which they are described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in a work, as well as laws and judicial and administrative decisions). This essential commons is too important for the functioning of our societies to be burdened with legal restrictions of any nature even for a limited period. The structural Public Domain is an historically grown balance to the rights of authors protected by copyright and it is essential to the cultural memory and knowledge base of our societies. In the second half of the 20th century all two elements identified here have been strained by the extension of the term of copyright protection and the introduction of more copyright‐like regimes of legal protection.

  • 1 the European Court of Justice Case of Breyer Mr. Alan S. Reid Sheffield
    The European Court of Justice case of Breyer Mr. Alan S. Reid Sheffield Hallam University Abstract This case note analyses the impact and significance of the European Court of Justice decision in Breyer. The European Court of Justice has expanded the definition of personal data to include dynamic IP addresses. The judgment improves the privacy situation of internet users across the European Union. The facts of Breyer1 Patrick Breyer is a German politician and activist who belongs to the Pirate Party. The Pirate Party was originally set up in Sweden in 2006, as a single issue political party, committed to the modernisation of copyright law in Sweden, following the crackdown on The Pirate Bay peer-to-peer network. After limited success in Sweden, sister parties sprung up across Europe, in order to capitalise on the notoriety of The Pirate Bay. In order to broaden their appeal, the European Pirate Parties set out common themes of campaigning interest, in particular, on issues surrounding the internet, such as open access to information, freedom of expression and privacy. As a technophile and politician committed to internet freedoms, Patrick Breyer vociferously objected to various Federal German government websites retaining details of his dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address after he had completed browsing. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are the essential backbone of the internet. Internet protocols are the method by which interconnected computers and devices communicate, share and transfer data between themselves. An IP address consists of either four pairs of numbers (version 4)2 separated by three colons or eight pairs of numbers separated by six colons (version 6).3 The US organisation ICANN4, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbering, is tasked with overseeing the interconnectivity and compatibility required for the continued successful operation of the internet infrastructure.

  • Bilan D'activités Open Knowledge Foundation France
    Bilan d’activités Open Knowledge Foundation France Décembre 2012 - Août 2013 Vision stratégique Depuis sa création en décembre 2012, le groupe français de l’Open Knowledge Foundation a connu une croissance rapide que le réseau international a eu l’occasion de saluer. Dans l’effervescence du démarrage, l’association a exploré de nombreuses pistes et a participé à de nombreux projets sans avoir en tête une véritable cohérence dans son action. Toutefois, nous avons poursuivi deux objectifs principaux pendant les premiers mois : la constitution d’une communauté de membres actifs conformément à nos statuts et un effort pour la notoriété de l’association ainsi que son réseau international. Les administrateurs de l’association pensent que ces efforts ont porté leurs fruits au détriment de la cohérence de l’ensemble et parfois d’une gouvernance plus ouverte. Dans cet esprit, nous avons souhaité pendant l’été penser les projets prioritaires et la stratégie de développement de l’association avec les membres actifs qui souhaitaient participer. Nous avons ainsi décidé de nous concentrer prioritairement sur le développement de trois projets principaux : ● Le groupe de travail sur le domaine public avec le développement de calculateurs permettant d’identifier la présence d’une oeuvre dans le domaine public et un outil­méthodologie pour la réutilisation ouverte des cartes postales du domaine public (OpenPostcards) pouvant déboucher sur une série d’événements grand public ● Le développement d’un portail permettant de rendre public et d’agréger les demandes d’information publique à la manière par exemple du projet “What do they know” au Royaume Uni ● La formation du grand public à la réutilisation des données ouvertes avec la traduction en français des contenus de la School of Data (schoolofdata.org) et le développement de Tada (dans la suite du projet imaginé tada.gouv.fr, voir checkthis.com/tadagouvfr), une méthode et de contenus pour initier les enfants à la réutilisation des données ouvertes.

Cabinet composition of Juncker-Asseblorn II (or Juncker IV) For the composition of Juncker-Asseblorn II (or Juncker IV) on 1 January 2012, see Dumont et al. (2010: 1078–1079). Changes during 2012: Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade/Ministre de l’Économie et du Commerce extérieur: Jeannot Krecké (1950 male, LSAP) resigned and replaced by Etienne Schneider (1971 male, LSAP) on 1st February 2012. Institutional changes A number of decisions voted on by the Chamber of Deputies in 2011 became effective in 2012: first, as part of a long-term plan of reduction in the number of municipalities, sixteen of them merged into six new entities as of 1 January (Dumont et al. 2010; 2012: 202-205).. Second, as decided by a vote in December 2011, a new ombudsman (“mediateure”) was appointed. On 1 February, Lydie Err, former Socialist MP (and junior minister in 1998–9) took over from Marc Fischbach, who had been a Christian-democratic MEP, government minister in the 1990s, and a judge at the European Court of Human Rights, before being chosen as Luxembourg’s first ombudsman by parliamentary vote in December 2003. Err’s mandate is to last until 2020. Also on 1 February the socialist Etienne Schneider took office, as scheduled by an internal Socialist Worker’s Party (LSAP) vote in November 2011 (Dumont et al. 2012: 201), replacing Jeannot Krecké as Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade. The latter had made his frustration about his role in the government known to the public as early as 2010, arguing that the Economy portfolio was a coordination ministry deprived of the instruments that would enable its holder to initiate and implement reforms.

  • Political Parties Challenges and Perspectives
    KONRAD-ADENAUER-STIFTUNG 4|2020 INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Political Parties Challenges and Perspectives INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 4 | 2020 Editorial Dear Readers, Political parties are a pillar of the democratic system. They assume central functions such as promoting citizen participation in political life and shaping public opinion. They have a major impact on our country’s political development and serve as an interface between state organs and the public. Parliamentary democracy is ultimately always party democracy. Developments under way in modern societies, such as increasing polarisation of polit- ical positions and the digitalisation of many areas of public and private life, present parties with enormous challenges, which they must find creative ways of overcoming. Digitalisation in particular offers opportunities: Parties today have a much wider vari- ety of options for integrating people, disseminating information about their own posi- tions, and appealing to potential voters. Social media has long been indispensable to electoral campaigns. But parties must continue to communicate with their voters on all channels. A good digital campaign is a prerequisite in every corner of the world. Yet, it by no means replaces traditional forms of campaigning, such as classic canvass- ing, as Frank Priess notes in his article. Technical developments are not the only force influencing politics. Societal change is also becoming visible in the party landscape in many places. New parties are being founded to challenge established ones. This is not a new phenomenon in itself, but, as Franziska Fislage shows in her description of the situation in Europe, the speed at which new parties are achieving success is. New parties benefit from developments that we have observed for quite some time: declining party loyalty, increasing voter volatility, and the fading of old political lines of conflict.

  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.
