Titolo: Momento demenziale: quale standard wireless per l'Iraq

Qualche giorno fa leggevo sul Financial Times di un senatore 
americano (credo della circoscrizione in cui ha sede la Qualcomm,
magari domani ripesco il FT per controllare) che ha veementemente
proposto uno standard americano al post di quello dei vili europei
etc.. etc..
Dico questo per dire che se cliccate su

state leggendo dei commenti su una storia assolutamente demenziale
ed assolutamente vera, un commento e' fatto bene
Rep. Issa is about the only person in the world who thinks of GSM as a
"French" standard and his blatant appeal to jingoistic tendencies in
the US has done nothing to enhance the image of

C'e di meglio.
La Recording Industry Association of America sta... riscrivendo le
leggi di Copyright Iraqene, che sotto Saddam Hussein erano troppo
permissive.
Insomma, gli Irakeni possono anche saccheggiare il museo delle

RIAA's Rosen 'writing Iraq copyright laws'
By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco
Posted: 29/04/2003 at 01:11 GMT
Chief executive for the Recording Industry Association of America,
Hilary Rosen, is helping draft copyright legislation for the New Iraq,
according to investigative journalist Gregory Palast.
"Who's really going to win this war? It looks like Madonna," Palast
told Democracy Now radio. "Where before, they feared Saddam Hussein,
now they have to fear Sony Records will chop off their hands if they
bootleg a Madonna album."
Under Iraqi copyright legislation, passed by The Revolution Leadership
Council in 1971, a copyright lapses 25 years after the death of the
author, but no more then fifty years after the publication of the
work. It's shorter for private works, and there are several public
interest exemptions.
We wonder which member of The Revolution Leadership Council penned
this, or whether someone wrote it for them, but the real author of
this enlightened document ought to step forward. Maybe they could help
liberate the USA - which extended copyright to seventy years after the
author's death - from Hollywood.
(Do we sense a campaign coming on?) 
But if true, and Palast has a good record for trade politics, Rosen's
dash for Baghdad isn't hard to explain.
Iraq does not have a reciprocal copyright agreement with the United
States, which means that US works are not protected.
Hilary will almost certainly be setting to work on the current law's
Article 13:- "The author may not prevent a person making one copy of a
published work for his own use."
And she will want to stiffen the penalties for infringement:- one
hundred dinars, or three hundred for repeat offenders. Maybe she will
shoot for something closer to the $97 trillion the RIAA has claimed as
damages from the file-sharing students back in the Homeland.
With the effective collapse of the UN's food program, it's nice to see
Rosen's humanitarian impulses remain untarnished by war.
A month ago Congressman Darrell Issa (R., San Diego) introduced a bill
ensuring that Qualcomm, based in his congressional district, be given
a foothold in the New Iraq. Europe and the Middle East use the global
GSM standard.

antichita', ma se si azzardano a comprare CD piratati... :-/
Strano che l'articolo non dice nulla sui CD piratati o su pene per la
pirateria :))
*LOL*
Ma pur di fare disinformazione tutto e' ammesso, anche l'uso della
fantasia piu' sfrenata :))
*LOL*
