Europe's legislative framework governing electronic communication
technologies is currently undergoing a full scale review by lawmakers. <br>
<br>
The European Parliament has put forward several amendments to the
proposed directives with language that suggests the consideration of
filtering mandates. One consequence could see Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) controversially forced to apply filtering measures to
prevent copyright infringement. <br>
<br>
Policymakers have recognized that efforts to police copyright
infringement must be balanced with other important values. The Swedish
government made it clear that it would not support the denial of
Internet services to consumers due to allegations of copyright
infringement. In May 2008 the European Parliament deemed that automatic
termination of subscribers would be a threat to the freedom of speech
and right to information. The provisions of the Telecoms Package
related to network filtering potentially raise similar concerns.<br>
<br>
At this seminar on the Telecoms Package and network filtering we will
explore the implications of filtering mandates for Europe's consumers
and for the creative and technology industries as well as discuss
potential unintended consequences for European innovation.<br>
<br>
The seminar will focus on the following areas of discussion:<br>
<br>
·Protection of the innovation space - how might filtering of content effect innovation?<br>
<br>
·Growth of the creative and Internet economy in Europe: What could
result from the suggested policy? What are the potential benefits? What
are the costs? <br>
<br>
·Freedom of expression and right to information - how does a potential
change affect consumer rights? Is there a risk that a filtering
infrastructure enables political censorship? Are there any consumer
benefits that outweigh the risks?<br>
