Liberty is the possibility of doubting, of making a

mistake,... of searching and experimenting,... of

saying No to any authority - literary, artistic,

OPPONENTS OF THE CANONThe two main Spanish organizations of Internet users had collected three millionsignatures by February 2010 calling for the abolition of the tax.

DEFENDERS OF THE CANONIt is a common tax among European countries and is seen as a compensationaccepted in all European Union countries, provided by Directive 2001/29/EC.

DIGITAL CANON

CONTROVERSIES

Charging a fine of 96€ to a middle school for trying to makea theatrical play whose rights belonged to Federico GarcíaLorca's heirs.

It has also claimed copyright for works of authors deceasedmore than 70 years ago at the time of the claim.

In 1 July, 2011 eight members of the SGAE,including the president, Teddy Bautista, werearrested and charged with money laundering.

It’s an anti-piracy law.

It forms part of the Sustainable Economylegislation.

It was approved in Congress with the votes ofthe PSOE, PP and CiU.

It provides a new regulatory framework bywhich the Spanish government will "fight"more effectively against piracy of protectedcontent on the Internet.

SINDE LAW

What is theSinde Law?

There is evidence that the “Sinde Law" also responds to pressureexerted from the powerful U.S.A. copyright lobby as revealed in leakedcables published by Wikileaks.

(Anonymous against Sinde Law during the Goya Awardsceremony)

Will it deliver Sinde Act objectives for which itwas created?

The industrialization of piracy is increasing every year.

It delays the modernization for new business models in theentertainment industry.

It delays the opportunity to build business models according to whatthe public demands that are already operating in other countries.

“I want to break free” took the word “freedom”

all around the world. The song became the

hymn of the African National Congress when

Nelson Mandela was still in prison. Its video

was censored in the United States. Queen

decided to exclude this country from its world

tour.

Are New-Tech a force for liberation or

repression?

Where is the limit of freedom?

Do you truly believe you are free?

How society influences our individual freedom?
