Professor Jan Rosén
Dear Swedish Government,
It has come to our knowledge by way of a communiqué of yours, that you are issuing an investigation concerning a revision on copyright legislation.
We, the We rebuild EU clusters, are manning our cannons to make sure this investigation is carried out in a proper manner. As of now, a single person strongly in favor of a more aggressive legalisation strategy of IPR has been appointed to conduct the investigation of future copyright legislation. This is, in our eyes, not the wisest way to proceed. We understand that professor Jan Rosén is attempting to determine whether the current law needs revision in order to suit the proposed directive. However, we do not think that an issue of this extent is suitable to be handled by a single individual, and thus we wish to contribute with our team of experts on this subject.
When it comes to discussions concerning copyright legislation with regards to the Internets, we as ambassadors of the internautical community, demand to have our voices heard and take part. We consider the Internet to be both our back yard and our living room, and therefore claim our right to be part of the legislative process.
Our demand is both humble and firm: We will be a part of the legislative process. It must however be noted that this is not a proposition, but a statement. We will publish our research on this Interfax messaging service within the specified deadline.
Until then, we will keep you updated on the progress of our work through our communication channels. We have previously contributed to the Government with our extensive report on the Concept of Openness in digital infrastructure. We appreciate the productive debate that has grown between us, and want to ensure that we can be contacted at any time for discussions concerning these very important matters.
Sincerly,
The Werebuild clusters and the Telecomix News Agency.
