Panoptykon: Internet a prawa podstawowe. Ekspresowy przegląd problemów regulacyjnych (2011) [Polish]
Filed under report | Tags: · censorship, copyright, data retention, freedom of information, internet, law, poland
“Raport ten stanowi podsumowanie rocznego projektu o charakterze think-tankowym realizowanego we współpracy z Internet Society Polska – „Strategie dla regulacji Internetu w Polsce i Unii Europejskiej”.
Walka o „wolny i otwarty internet” staje się strategicznym frontem walki o prawa podstawowe we współczesnym świecie. Walki, która nie może się zakończyć sformułowaniem – choćby najbardziej postępowej – „karty praw internetu”. Podobnie jak w przypadku podstawowych praw człowieka i obywatela, proces kształtowania standardów nigdy nie jest raz na zawsze zakończony i raz na zawsze wygrany.
W dyskusji o standardach dotyczących tego szczególnego obszaru trzeba jednak pamiętać o jednym: internet jest zgromadzeniem, mową, prasą i informacją. Każdy atak na sieć, to bezpośredni zamach na te wolności.”

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about legal rights and responsibilities in the digital era.
This is especially disconcerting when it comes to information being shared with youth. Kids and teens are bombarded with messages from a myriad of sources that using new technology is high-risk behavior. Downloading music is compared to stealing a bicycle — even though many downloads are lawful. Making videos using short clips from other sources is treated as probably illegal — even though many such videos are also lawful.
This misinformation is harmful, because it discourages kids and teens from following their natural inclination to be innovative and inquisitive. The innovators, artists and voters of tomorrow need to know that copyright law restricts many activities but also permits many others. And they need to know the positive steps they can take to protect themselves in the digital sphere. In short, youth don’t need more intimidation — what they need is solid, accurate information.
EFF’s Teaching Copyright curriculum was created to help teachers present the laws surrounding digital rights in a balanced way.
Teaching Copyright provides lessons and ideas for opening your classroom up to discussion, letting your students express their ideas and concerns, and then guiding your students toward an understanding of the boundaries of copyright law.

“This book provides details on how nations, groups, and individuals throughout the world are using the Internet as an attack platform to gain military, political, and economic advantages over their adversaries. It explains how sophisticated hackers working on behalf of states or organized crime patiently play a high-stakes game that could target anyone, regardless of affiliation or nationality.Inside Cyber Warfare goes beyond the headlines of attention-grabbing DDoS attacks and takes a deep look inside multiple cyber-conflicts that occurred from 2002 through summer 2009.”
