[pp.int.general] map of intellectual property rights in lund

[Reinier Bakels]

  Are you talking about privacy? That's something else - and perhaps more imptorant. Hope that people in Sweden don't think like many Dutch people: "we need more camera's in public space to warrant our safety". Or like Angela Merkel, who said: if there is any technology that can protect us against terrorism, we should not refraiin from using it!
  Allegedly, modern surveillance camera's are no longer monitored by humans, but by computers programmed to automatically detect disorders. Some of those camera's have microphones too.
  The next nightmare is that people get fined for copyright infringement if the whistle or sing a song that happens to be copyrighted.

  With the ever growing integration of camera location metadata, google maps, and picassa I would say that it is more than just clever to make such tools, but geolocational awareness with such a list might be all that stands between a citizen and realizing the possibility of violation before it is too late.  This envelope has been raised and it's really the type of survey that I would love to see international teams of volunteers working on. 


  At least, I think so.  I feel like the 'free culture' fight is very much on the defensive, and I don't like the idea of someone claiming rights over recordings taken in public space.  



  Amelia, you are an AWESOME MEP :)

    Oh! Thx :)

    Perhaps I should make one of those as well. (yes!)
