I pirati del web all'assalto di Montecitorio

In vista delle elezioni regionali il popolo di internet interroga il mondo politico sullo stato dell'arte della Rete and its future in Italy. Saturday, March 20 to 11 at the Teatro Capranica in front of Deputies are held on the second edition of the Feast of the Pirates.

DEMOCRACY - A short walk from the Parliament examines the legal measures taken by the government in terms of regulation of the Internet, the possibilities opened up by democratic social networks and will present some of the most effective software to ensure the anonymity and freedom of navigation users in countries where Internet is censored. For example, it is called the Freenet and Tor, protocols and applications that make it anonymous, respectively the content and navigation. In the U.S., after the recent attacks in China to Google, some senators are considering sending some of government funds at this type of systems around-censorship.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE WEB - The organizers, in favor of net neutrality and revising the system of copyright, have thought of a moment in which bipartisan leaders of the Italian left and right will have to demonstrate what they know and the matter of the web their proposals on the merits. The initiative is sponsored by the Lazio Region and the Province of Rome. For one day, the defenders of freedom of knowledge, spreaders mp3, politicians, administrators and hackers will discuss ways in which today is the production and sharing of knowledge.

THE PARTY - The program is full of appointments. At the entrance a group of burlesque hostess welcomes guests with pirate look. Throughout the day there will also measures of visual art and journalism including a video installation will propose a permanent remixing content discussed in various meetings. The first part of the appointment is divided into five sessions of debate and the second (in the evening) is all geared to sharing the fun and playful, with works by international artists.

ISSUES IN DEBATE - The morning starts with a close comparison between computer experts and politicians. The first afternoon the players will be bloggers and journalists on the topic of Web 2.0. Following the Web to see if the TV in a debate-style talk show the rules that apply to television should also apply to the Internet. Then he will address the issues of censorship and control and will be shown all the ways to circumvent those who illegally spy and track users. In time it is called the cocktail of Europe and the world: law and global movements, inevitable Magnus Eriksson from Sweden representative of Pirate Bay.

CONTROVERSY - The initiative has bipartisan in his hand already on the controversy and "let appalled" Tullio Camiglieri, coordinator of the study center for the protection of authors' rights and freedom of information: "When will the party of thefts dexterity or the Association of Friends of the buzz legalized? ". Camiglieri is surprising that they have joined the demonstration "even members of our Parliament, it would be more useful if they think our representatives to responsibly protect the cultural industry sacked Italian daily by online piracy. Hundreds of thousands of people employed in film, publishing, newspapers and music industry in danger of their jobs. Without revenue there will be no investment and will have no more sense to allocate resources to the creation of a film, a documentary, a new newspaper or for a musical production. "

Revolution - Do not miss the answers, this time we think Martin Blissett, of SharingIsCaring: "We feel hurt by the statement of our dear friend Camiglieri, our aim has always been to use the network to remix, share and disseminate the works of human genius. We help authors, showing how the Internet can become an extraordinary occasion for them. " He added: "As a father I have always tried to teach my children the love of neighbor and sharing the joys of learning, and so I do not like being compared to a thief or a bust. We very much regret that Camiglieri not understand the value of the digital revolution that is underway: the contradictions are completely useless and his criticisms are unfair and outdated. It would be desirable to instead work together for the common good e per un libero accesso alla conoscenza delle nuove generazioni». La festa è già iniziata. Sin da ora è possibile intervenire proponendo domande osservazioni e anche critiche attraverso Twitter. La strada verso una cultura informatica critica è ancora lunga e certo occorre prestare attenzione a non usare slogan facili da tecno-entusiasti dell’ultima ora, ma i dibattiti pubblici occorrono e alcuni dei temi affrontati svolgeranno davvero un ruolo chiave per il prossimo futuro.
