Meine Meinung:
Der Vergleich mit dem Strassenverkehr ist leider eklatant falsch und wird auch noch in eine völlig abstruse Richtung ausgebaut. Das Recht auf Informationelle Selbstbestimmung, welches das BVerfG am 2.3.2010 im Rahmen seines Urteils betreffend des Abgriffs auf Vorratsdaten im Namen des UhR erneut gestärkt hat, hat mit Strassenschildern herzlich wenig gemeinsam. Wie mann überhaupt auf die abstruse Idee kommen kann Strassenschilder und Ampeln mit dem Allgemeinen Persönlichkeitsrecht zu vergleichen, dass laut Bundesverfassungsgerichtsbeschlusses von 1983, BVerfG 65, 1 (43) dem Einfluss des Menschenwürdebezugs durch Art. 1 Abs. 1 Grundgesetz unterliegt, lässt höchstens auf erhöhten Drogenkonsum seitens der Spiegelredaktion oder auf ein eklatantes Wissensdefizit verbunden mit politischer Einflussnahme auf die Redaktion schliessen. Ein Pirat.
Bereits 1975 vom europäischen Parlament im Rahmen der europäischen Datenströme gefordert und erst 1992 als Maßnahme vorgestellt, schliesslich 1995 verabschiedet mit dem Ziel eine bürgerrechtliche Sicherung zu etablieren.
Bereits im Art. 1 Abs. 2 schreibt die DSRL vor dass der freie Verkehr von personenbezogenen Daten aus Gründen des Datenschutzes beschränkt werden darf. Somit ist das Herzstück der Richtlinie - die Schaffung eines europäischen Datenverkehrs, u.a. nach den Gesichtspunkten der Datenqualität und Zulässigkeit der Datenverarbeitung.
Die DSLR findet keine Anwendung bei der Verarbeitung von Daten die den privaten Schriftverkehr betreffen. Unter keinen Umständen findet die DSLR bei Datenverarbeitungen Anwendung, welche die öffentliche Sicherheit, Verteidigung oder Sicherheit des Staats oder Tätigkeiten des Staats im Domaine Réservé angeht (Justiz und Polizei). In diesem Bereich greifen dann der in den Erklärungen 20 und 21 der Schlussakte von Lissabon festgelegter Rahmenbeschluss 2008/977/JI des Rates (vom 27.11.2008, ABI. EU 2008, L 350/60).
Der Begriff Personenbezogene Daten umfasst in diesem Kontext alle Informationen die mit einer natürlichen Person in Verbindung gebracht werden können, wie etwa Video-, Audiomaterial, FIngerabdrücke, Schrift, Name, Adresse.
Gemäß Art. 12 lit. b DSLR hat der Betroffene hat das Recht zur Auskunft, Berichtigung oder die Löschung seiner Daten zu verlangen.
Die Wetiergabe an Drittländer ist nur dann erlaubt, wenn diese eine angemessene Datenschutzgesetzgebung implementiert haben. Zu dieen Staaten zählen etwa die Schweiz, Kanada oder Argentinien. Nicht dazu zählen die Vereinigten Staaten, aufgrund der stark inkonsistenten Datenschutztradition. An die USA werden widersprüchlicherweise dennoch personenbezogene Daten von EU Bürgern weitergereicht, dies ist im Safe-Harbor Prinzip festgelegt (2000/520/EG), ein auf Selbstregulierung der Wirtschaft basierendes System. Dies stellt einen umstrittenen Bruch mit europäischer Datenschutztradition dar.

Data on the supply of new works are consistent with our argument that file sharing did not discourage authors and publishers (2). The publication of new books rose by 66% over the 2002-2007 period. Since 2000, the annual release of new music albums has more than doubled, and worldwide feature film production is up by more than 30% since 2003. At the same time, empirical research in file sharing documents that consumer welfare increased substantially due to the new technology.

Beginnen wir den kurzen Abriss mit einem Zitat aus der deutschen Wikipedia zu Franz-Josef-Strauss:
‘Strauß betrieb auch als bayerischer Ministerpräsident noch eine Außenpolitik nach eigenen Maßstäben und unterhielt gute Beziehungen sowohl zu Paraguays Diktator Alfredo Stroessner, Südafrikas Präsident Pieter Willem Botha als auch zur DDR. 1983 sorgte Strauß durch das Einfädeln eines Milliardenkredits für die DDR für Aufregung auch in den eigenen Reihen. In Zusammenhang mit der getarnten Blaupausen-Lieferung von U-Booten an das Apartheitsregime in Südafrika 1984-86, “ein Kurs zu dem … Franz Josef Strauß das Kanzleramt … drängte”, gab es “Gerüchte, daß Provisionen oder Schmiergelder aus dem U-Boot-Geschäft … an Unionsfreunde oder auf Parteikonten flossen…” (Spiegel 34/91 über den Tod von Uwe Barschel).’
Interessant: Also abgesehen von Mord, U-Boot Handel und Diktatorfreundschaften, hat der Josef Strauss der DDR einen 1,5 Milliarden Kredit gegeben um dort weiterhin im Billiglohnsektor herstellen zu lassen und den Westdeutschen ein schönes Leben zu ermöglichen. Übersetze: Verhältnismäßig ist was damals DDR zu BRD war, heute Polen, Rumänien und China zu BRD.
Weiter geht die kurze Reise: Sedlmayer hat Ihn darauf hin auf dem Nockerberg scharf angegriffen. Sedlmayer wurde bekannt und Millionär und hat am Viktualienmarkt ein Restaurant eröffnet. Dann wurde Sedlmayer umgebracht von seinem Sohn, der jetzt raus ist aus dem Knast und die amerikanische Wikimedia Foundation darauf verklagte seinen Namen zu löschen, überhaupt komplett aus dem Internet raus-zu-zensieren.
Noch viel Interessanter ist, mit wem sich Sedlmayer in Adolf Hitler’s Waffen-SS die Hand gab:
Peter Alexander
Hans-Dietrich Genscher
Günter Grass
Helmut Kohl (Bundeskanzler)
Josef Alois Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)
So siehts aus. Bayern, Land der Waffen, Päpste und Zensur.
Chancellor Merkel’s Internet Group is a cynical if not laughable answer to the Pirate Party’s success.
The reader should be reminded that the center-right-bottom party CDU/CSU coalition set up ACTA, INDECT, Internet Data Retention and Zensursula, which is some kind of unethical Child Pornography Censorship, following closely in the footsteps of clerical child abuse censorship, for instance the Irish Church, whose 18 religious orders were fined for for Child Abuse and Censorship of it with $1.8 Billlion (Molloy 2009).
Those who believe that the CDU or SPD have any idea of the digitally networked landscape - let alone copyright and data protection issues - shouldn’t get themselves fooled by their million-euro PR campaigns. In reality, Theodor zu Guttenberg, one of the Christian Democrat’s shooting stars had been forced to give up his Ph.D. and step down for his own likings of copyright infringement - in his case the plagiarism of his judicial dissertationat the University Regensburg. Some may call such actions rotten, which they undoubtedly are - but rest assured that it’s only a glimpse at the power-abusing methods politicians - worldwide - use to forge themselves to power.
Merkel’s coalition partner, the FDP, that portraits themselves as a civil liberties force - which they are not, were punished with all severity required in the recent election of Saarland with scoring only 1.2% of total votes - that is less than invalid votes were counted. It’s a sorely needed and overdue lesson for their corruption-led style of politics, for instance taking money from the Movenpick restaurant group and then policing a tax break affecting that very same restaurant group.
Other self-proclaimed winners of the Saarland state elections, for instance the ex-communist Die Linke or The Greens have been given a lesson for their encapsulated way of policy making as well - in the form of a disappointingly low voter turn out. Actually on the 26th of May, 56.000 voters who did vote for a party in the last election chose not to vote this time, whereas the Pirateparty retrieved 8000 frustrated German voters back to the political landscape (Infratest Dimap 2012).
Civil liberties and democratic participation in a liquid form and to vote more often than every 4 or so years on a broader selection of topics; these are only a few of the many fortés of the Pirate Party that voters and activists think are attractive attributes.
Only the blind would think that the ruling Parties could imitate or copy the Pirate’s manifest of honesty, transparency and new form of citizens’ rights. The Pirates are every ruling politicians’ nightmare - they are the common geek, many with higher education in ICTs or systems analysis - surfaced as a political party.
Being a party in the fourth largest economy worldwide and being not excessively burdened by neither a communist nor a capitalist agenda - this broad international Pirate movement that even had a Pavillion at the 2009 Venice Biennale has every right and duty to give the malignant politics of our time the boot.
(Disclosure of conflicts of interests: The author is a Pirate. And proudly so.)

I keep hearing that Yahoo is going to sell Right Media and Apt and their whole technology stack, in order to reduce the costs associated with their ad business. This isn’t surprising, it was often discussed when I was at the company and I’ve heard it has been a constant question in the years…
“In the end, ‘Kony 2012′ falls prey to the obfuscating, simplified and wildly erroneous narrative of a legitimate, terror-fighting, innocent partner of the West (the Government of Uganda) seeking to eliminate a band of lunatic, child-thieving, machine-gun wielding mystics (the LRA). The main beneficiary of this narrative is, once again, the Ugandan Government of Yoweri Museveni, whose legitimacy is bolstered and – if the ‘Kony 2012′ campaign is ‘successful’ – will receive more military funding and support from the US.” (Source: justiceinconflict.org)

The negotiating text of ACTA and many other documents, including even the lists of participants in the negotiations, are secret. The White House claims the secrecy is required as a matter of national security. But that does not mean the documents are off limits to everyone outside of the government. Hundreds of advisors, many of them corporate lobbyists, are considered “cleared advisors.” They have access to the ACTA documents.
Who are these cleared advisors? They are the members of these 27 USTR advisory boards:

All members of the advisory boards can request access to classified ACTA documents. Below are the members of just four of the advisory boards, ITAC 15, 8, 10 and 3.
