Internet: Cassazione, scaricare non è reato


Ancora una sentenza in materia di diritto d'autore, software e download. Stavolta a pronunciarsi è la Terza Sezione della Corte di Cassazione, che lo scorso 9 gennaio ha emesso la sentenza n. 149. La Corte è stata chiamata a pronunciarsi a seguito di ricorso avverso sentenza emessa dalla Corte di Appello di Torino, sentenza di conferma della pronuncia di colpevolezza di due studenti in ordine ai reati di cui agli artt. 171 bis e 171 ter legge diritto d'autore (la famigerata n. 633/41).

La Corte di Cassazione ha anzitutto escluso la configurabilità  del reato di duplicazione abusiva - e quindi il reato di cui all'art. 171 bis - in quanto la duplicazione non è operazione propedeutica al download, ma concetto ben diverso. Difatti la duplicazione non era attribuibile a chi originariamente aveva effettuato il download, ma a chi si era salvato il programma prelevando i files necessari dal server su cui erano disponibili.

Per quanto concerne invece il reato di cui all'art. 171 ter, essendo che nello stesso è previsto quale elemento costitutivo del reato il fine di lucro, secondo la Corte di Cassazione è possibile escludere tale fine nel caso di specie.
Difatti il legislatore, che più volte è intervenuto nella legge a tutela del diritto d'autore alternando nei vari reati i fini di lucro a quelli di profitto, ha messo in risalto la netta distinzione tra i due concetti.
Lo scopo di lucro è rintracciabile laddove vi sia il perseguimento di un vantaggio economicamente apprezzabile; lo scopo di profitto include ogni mero vantaggio morale. In questo caso la messa a disposizione dei programmi mediante attività  di download non configura alcun lucro (elemento richiesto dal 171 ter) poichè le attività  sono state effettuate gratuitamente.

GEMA obtains injunctions against RapidShare
20 January 2007 16:22 by Lethal_B

GEMA, Germany's society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights, has obtained temporary injunctions against the operator of poupular data exchange services RapidShare.de and RapidShare.com.

RapidShare.com is said to have used copyrighted works of GEMA members "in an unlawful fashion".

The RapidShare.com & .de services operate in a near identical fashion. They both allow users to upload content on virtual storage space, which therefore makes it publicly available.

GEMA spokesman Hans-Herwig Geyer believes neither site should be permitted to continue operations in their present form, according to Heise Online.

The collecting society is demanding details be revealed by RapidShare's operator of exactly how many copyrighted files of GEMA artists it currently stores without permission. However, according to Geyer, RapidShare has to date claimed it has no knowledge or control of the content uploaded by its users.

The District Court in Cologne, from whom the injunctions were obtained, has made it clear that although it is the users and not the operators that uploaded the content in question to the RapidShare servers, this did not, (at least from a legal point of view), make the operator of RapidShare any less liable for copyright infringements occurred within the context of the services.

Harald Heker, the chairman of the executive board of GEMA, believes the outcome of the court's decisions will have a knock on effect with the way "Web 2.0 services" such as YouTube and MySpace will be dealt with in the future.

Heker believes that such decisions show is that "the mere circumstance of shifting acts of use to users and the purported inability of the operator to control content do not relieve the operator of a service from the copyright liability he/she/it possesses for the content made available for download from the operator's website".


Nel mese di novembre 2006, Universal Music a fatto causa contro MySpace:
Universal Music Group sues MySpace
20 November 2006 2:08 by Dela

On Friday, it emerged that Universal Music Group is suing one of the world's most popular social networking sites, MySpace. Universal claims that MySpace encourages its users to illegally share files and provides them the ability to upload music videos. The recording giant claims that material from The Killers, Jay-Z and Gwen Stefani is available.

MySpace has dismissed the lawsuit as "meritless litigation". "We have been keeping Universal closely appraised of our industry-leading efforts to protect creators' rights," MySpace said. "We provide users with tools to share their own work - we do not induce, encourage, or condone copyright violation in any way."

Universal doesn't see it that way and in its lawsuit (lodged in a US district court), it claims MySpace "encourages, facilitates and participates in the unauthorized reproduction, adaptation, distribution and public performance".

"Our music and videos play a key role in building the communities that have created hundreds of millions of dollars of value for the owners of MySpace." A statement issued by Universal reads. "Our goal is not to inhibit the creation of these communities, but to ensure that our rights and those of our artists are recognized."

The statement sounds remarkably like claims that were made by well known record company figures about how they should have got a cut from sales of iPods because the iPod relies on music. With that thought in mind, remember that Universal just recently scored a cut from each sale of a Microsoft Zune player.

Copyright cases brought against Internet giants like MySpace and YouTube should be watched closely because now it is the rich taking on the rich; MySpace is owned by News Corp. and YouTube has Google behind it. This is not like a small start-up company being easily forced down by an entertainment giant.
