 Assunto: [lac-discuss-en] URGENT - Letter to the Congress of Colombia 

 Dear, 
 Envo the following letter we have written to establish our voice 
 protest the approval from the Law 201 of 2012. The law has just been 
 votacin approved by Congress, the details are in the 
 letter.I hope you read it and if they're placed according suggest 
 the name of the ALS at the end to be sent to the Congress of Colombia and 
 released by means not only name comunicacina user 
 Colombia, which were not heard but of the whole region. 

 If anyone wants to read the text in addition to the Law, found here: 
 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/629628/LeyTLC/gaceta103InformeDebate.pdf 

 I look forward to their signatures or support for it, thereof promptly. 

 Honorable President of the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives of Colombia: 

 We write on behalf of Internet users in the region of 
 Latin America and the Caribbean to have a voice in the corporation of the Internet to 
 Pin Assignments of the names and numbers - given that ICANN existiun trouble 
 immense to implement the obligations of NAFTA.The overall process 
 20-das tardms not in its end aprobacin from the presentation by 
 the President, all in order to have results qumostrar 
 during the Summit from the Americas to jointly develop 
 Cartagena since last April 10 and where all the attention estcentrada 
 means of communication. 

 As I write these lines, the project has just finished his votaciny has 
 been approved by what awaits presidential sancin, ie a 
 fact is already a law that greatly worries us the whole process was 
 carried out as possible yrpida ms hidden and not taken into 
 account of civil society groups in this trmite and without even 
 debate. 

 Remember that the same users you Colombians joined to 
 discuss with you the merits of that Act in matters as important as the 
 following: 

   1. By implementing the measures PROTECTION 'technology (MPT) as a 
   PROTECTION independent copyright may violate rules 
   internal.The implementacin must be such that the PROTECTION of 
   MPT is not independent but linked to the right PROTECTION 
   author that occurs in Colombia. The topic has been discussed in forums such as the 
   Australia, 
   http://www.ivir.nl/publications/guibault/Infosoc_report_2007.pdf and Chile 
   https://www.eff.org/files/filenode/FTAA/20040830_uschile_fta.pdf 
   http://ictsd.org/i/publications/120934/. The central problem is that if 
   this is not possible generation asse liability and 
 penal 
   users for use in the exercise of exceptions and limitations stbNL&gt; <tbSP 2> allows our law, that is, I can order the jail by 
   circumvent a TPM to make a private copy which I have the right. 
   2. May also violate the rights of users if, as in this 
   version, it establishes the administrative procedure itself TLC 
   includes every 4 years to adjust these exceptions. The project is not 
   developed the procedure but only a general facutlad the 
 government 
   to propose changes. We wonder then, to quel afn?Neither 
 is 
   being met with all the obligations of NAFTA, lack this. 
   3. The bill defines very broadly profit to include any 
   advantage. There are exceptions and limitations such as private copying, which 
   dependent on this definition. However when using it own FTA talks 
   commercial advantage or financial gain. That is definacin 
 obligation 
   NAFTA text or match your interests and may violate the 
 users. 
   4. If not properly drafted prohbe item that the 
   signal retransmission of Internet TV can also compromise 
   interests of users, because that way as estevita 
 widespread 
   exceptions and limitations apply to the retransmission of signals of 
 TV 
   Internet. That is not the scope of the obligation of the FTA, it is against 
   of our line with national standards and perhaps it forbids censorship 
   to date? 
   5. There is a great preocupacin by delegating judicial functions, as 
   is the delivery of personal information to an administrative authority.
 As 
   we said in the debate Lleras Law in the State Social 
 Right 
   judges are the only ones that have powers to restrict rights and 
   fundamental freedoms and thus the only ones that can deliver 
   personal information (Excerpt taken from the comments of jurdicos 
   RedPaTodos) 

 Unfortunately they were not the only ones users not heard in this 
 non-debate, a group of professors at American University United States 
 also joined the worry of the community concluded that 
 ms will effectively alldel TLC, which provides more powerful 
 that American internal standards and that the result can generate 
 competitive disadvantages between the parties to the trade agreement. The 
 peticin academics support the Colombian civil society to discuss 
 openly put the text to see, if possible, the various 
 interest and comply with internal rules.

 The teachers are surprised that in terms of these items are 
 penalize speeding isolated individuals even when playing the parts without 
 know, indicate no application of the principle of proportionality 
 exists in the U.S. so that only penalizes activities with some 
 mnima commercial dimension whose measure is given by the law (for example 10 copies 
 minimum value of U.S. 2500). In addition, sealan and project that shall include 
 as a minimum for medical evaluation of the three-step test as an element 
 determine whether an action is criminal or not. 

 As if this were not enough, EFF, Electronic Frontier Foundation, is also 
 pronuncicon a statement April 9 that Lamla attention on 
 the TLC tendrel implementacin inadequate in our country, highlighting 
 prescribed a law how copyright is necessary for balanced 
 proper balance of rights.

 Civil society has sent requests and comments to 
 Congress to call for reflection and ask them to indicate their 
 Voting will ultimately is a form of control that has the citizen 
 veedura is the process and their ability to choose their 
 representatives. The strategy is not new, the movements have used 
 civilians over the past months and seems to be working tirelessly 
 life to a form of direct participation in politics for governments to 
 joint costs but seen as a form of freedom of expresiny of 
 citizenship rights is something that takes an impressive value for 
 democrtico system. The public pressure will stop no. 

 Respectfully, 

 ICANN ALS deLACRALO
