[pp.int.general] Digital Rights Watch : 48 h of fill-in this week end !

[Yves Quemener]

Hello, fellow pirates,

I think it is generally agreed that in order to fight international 
lobbies in the legal arena it is necessary to have a good picture of the 
legal subtleties of the various national legal context. Therefore, here 
is a message that was posted on the hackerspaces.org mailing list

> On the Free Culture Forum this year the idea sprung to make a database
> of Digital Rights information per country. Out of this people from
> amongst others immi.is and the piratpartiet.se setup
> http://www.diriwa.org/ A wiki where people can add information on
> countries and organisations they are knowledgeable about.


It is not the first time such a database is being done and I think I 
already saw similar initiatives but to my knowledge, none of them ever 
reached the threshold of usability. Let's merge them together this week 
end !

Spread the word, a 48h legalese wiki-thon this week end will aim at 
finally making this complete database that international activists need. 
For that we need to have people from many countries helping, we need to 
find these informations for every country :
http://www.diriwa.org/wiki/CountryTemplate

Some of them will be available at public english sources like wikipedia 
or http://www.statewatch.org/index.php# but insightful remarks about 
politicians position often require an inside point-of view.

Let's do it as a christmas present to the pirate parties and digital 
rights activists of the world !
