in Chile, INTERNET, NO CENSORSHIP!

In the vote of Intellectual Property Law (LPI) that occurred
just over a month, were a series of articles outside
rejected by the House of Representatives because it gave
powers to remove content from the network to the ISP.

Not satisfied with this rejection, the President of the Republic, Michelle
Bachelet sent Congress a series of prompts to add to
law, among whom were two (the observations number 10 and 12) which
replenished basically the same as the deputies had rejected.
These observations, urgently, today is December 21 voted
in the Chamber of Deputies.

These two observations objectives set for an ISP could
content block when there were alleged breaches of
copyright, and also forced companies to keep for 6 months
information and identity of alleged infringers. The first
(No. 10) was rejected by 67 votes against and 8 in favor, while the
second (No. 12) received 75 votes in favor and 3 rejection.

With this rejection, these observations are outside and not re-argue.

The rest of the entries made by the president were approved
by 83 votes in favor and one against.

The comments submitted via presidential veto by the
executive, who sought to incorporate improvements to the Bill
Intellectual property to conform to the FTA with
U.S. and where is 2 directions, corresponding to #
10 and 12, which severely affected the civil rights of
Internet, to give police powers to the ISP (companies
Internet providers) who, for exemption from liability
by the behavior of users, with a sneaking suspicion that there
violations of copyright, simply could block
content, previously sending a letter and waiting 10 days.

Faced with this unprecedented fact is that we meet with several
communities, and citizens and launched a campaign for
Internet for sending emails to members requesting
formally reject these indications.

Thus, in the discussion in full, began talking about the Minister of
Cultura, Paulina Urrutia, (the same who signed the secret agreement with
SCD) who mentioned that through these guidelines, the government
sought to achieve a fair and balanced law copyright.
Thereupon, the Deputy Dario Palma uses the word calling
attention to the Minister for his statement Urrutia, because
precisely with these indications 10 and 12 is getting a law
unbalanced and only 10/12 were just indications and 2 / 12
no. He said voting against.
Minister Viera Gallo (the same as practiced interventionism in the
Senate and ended the real "fair uses") requested by word and
In order to reverse the rejection of the indications mentioned and required
to vote for the signs just to not affect image
of Chile for failing to respect U.S. FTA. At the same time said he did not
there was even the shadow of censorship in these indications and
finally threatened that if they rejected these instructions, just
NAFTA is entirely satisfied by having the character of
Autorun.


He then speaks Rep. Ramon Farias (who vote in
commission also rejected this data) welcomes the insistence and
discussion on this subject, but says it is against
indications 10, 12 and demands that the courts are not
the ISP which identifies breaches of the law. He says he will vote
against.
The shift is Arenas Deputy Minister who says Vieira
Gallo is mistaken in his argument, since it is neither necessary nor
prerequisite 10 and 12 approved indications for the fulfillment of the
U.S. FTA. Less has been the spirit of the project these 2 of 12
indications and that discussion of the character of a self-running
international treaty is debatable, but not the place to expose
positions that exist in either case. Away and the ghost
made by the minister. Notes that in the event the
treaty is thus not necessary that the government into three
OPPORTUNITIES insist want the parliament to approve these
indications (pulls my spontaneous applause). Finally, he
that the government of violating stubbornly seeks freedom
Internet browsing and mentions and commends the campaign by
users looking to safeguard their rights.
Congressman Speaks Felipe Harboe said that no ISP can provide
with powers of oversight. In the U.S., where it is established that
norm, there are 1200 PSI. In Chile, where there are 4 large and
monopolize 90% of users would be a big mistake.
He mentions the need to advance on these issues with this project and
with others such as the proposed network neutrality, said that it
necessary to maintain Internet freedom.
Rep. John C. Latorre said that more should be brief
protect authors, but rule 10 and 12 has no relation with it. No
ISP may be said that police and refuse these
indications.
Finally the last person to speak is the Deputy Karla Rubilar
who would vote against the directions 10 and 12 (at
Like all RN) because it is not possible for ISPs to censor the Internet.
NO to 10 and 12 in a free country like Chile. Concluding the day, it
indications vote as follows and with the results
follows:
Entries 1 to 11 (except No 10). Score 83 to 1
2 abstentions. All approved.
Note No. 10. Results
8 in favor, 67 against and 7 abstentions.

INDICATION IS REJECTED.

Note No 12. Result 3 in favor, 75 against and 5 abstentions.

INDICATION IS REJECTED.

Mostrar forma romanizada
This means that success was finally achieved with the objective of
campaign started, and we managed to reject these 2
lescivas indications were for civil rights,
Chilean Internet users specifically.
As it was imperative that the government ensure that all indications
were approved for inclusion in the final draft intellectual property,
these 2 signs not present.


WE FINALLY # internetsincensura greetings and congratulations to
all those who joined the campaign from all areas.
