Oddio ormai avevo perso le speranze! :)
Ora resta solo da chiarire come mai i governi nazionali avessero 
intrapreso una strada che andava nel senso diametralmente opposto a 
quanto richiesto dal parlamento europeo e dal 99% delle imprese del 
settore.

La BSA comincia gia' la controffensiva:
***
Members of the European Parliament are about to decide on the future of 
the European Union. No, this doesn't have anything to do with a 
constitutional treaty. Rather, MEPs are going to vote for or against the 
EU directive on Computer Implemented Inventions - better known as 
software patents.
The vote is likely to be close, as the European Parliament has shown 
itself recently to be the most hostile to the measure of all the EU 
institutions. Many MEPs and large segments of the public have been 
misled by an ideological lobby. But politicians must consider whether 
they want to vote for safeguarding prosperity and growth in the EU or 
for destroying European innovations, putting hundreds of thousands jobs 
at risk, and crippling European creativity through intellectual violence 
and plagiarism.
Many of Europe's most prominent politicians do not hide the fact that 
they are motivated by the open source lobby. The most active 
organization in the fight is Munich's Foundation for Free Information 
Infrastructure (FFII). The group is waging an ideological continuation 
of Karl Marx's crusade against capitalism and private property.
The FFII hopes to convince the public that civilization is not helped by 
self-interest and profit. Rather, it argues that progress is an effect 
of disinterested activity for social justice. This is naïve. Progress in 
information technology has been made by private companies, not open 
source fanatics. But the FFII is calling for a kind of revolution on 
intellectual capital. They want to expropriate innovators by limiting 
their legal property: know-how and inventions.
The people who run FFII are enemies of private property, the free-market 
and capitalism. Some of them are widely known to be neo-Marxists, such 
as Jozef Halbersztadt, a member of the FFII advisory board and patent 
examiner at Polish Patent Office. In Poland he is a kind of IT Ché 
Guevara. He publishes in such leftist magazines as Social Review and 
Political Critics.
In his writings he does not hide his revolutionary visions. 
"[Neo-liberalism] is creating by protection of so called intellectual 
property," Halbersztadt writes on the web portal Lewica.pl (Left). His 
idea for destroying "neo-liberalism" is to limit IP rights by blocking 
their legal protection. "Today not everything is blocked, but limiting 
private property makes society profit. Because of Linux, Microsoft's 
bosses do not sleep well," he argues.
Halbersztadt and other neo-Marxists believe that eliminating IP is the 
only way to fight capitalism. The FFII is selling (or giving away) a 
very dangerous ideology, and is cooperating with the radical left in the 
European Parliament. It is unfortunate that they have succeeded in 
manipulating even right-wing politicians such as former Polish Prime 
Minister and current MEP Jerzy Buzek.
Why should Europeans let the FFII create a world in which innovators are 
exploited by pirates and plagiarizers? Rather, we should give Hartmut 
Pilch, the FFII president, the same advice as George Bush gave to 
Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 9/11: "Go get a real job!"
In the 1960s one of the most famous Austrian economists, Fritz Machlup, 
named America "the knowledge society". He underlined that today 
knowledge and information build the wealth of nations. Since that time, 
the US has become the leader of globalization and the most innovative 
world economy.
Today's economy is losing hundreds of billons to copying and plagiarism, 
which usurps 9 per cent of global trade. In Europe every year we see 
more and more violence against intellectual property. That is why 
thousands of people lose their jobs and European human capital is forced 
to emigrate.
Software is the heart of contemporary innovation; we shouldn't stop it 
from beating.
