>>>>02.Sanctiuni mult mai drastice pentru pirateria software
si audio-video
...(Rol.ro, 1/12/2004)
Pedepsele pentru pirateria software, audio-video, precum si
incalcarea altor drepturi de proprietate intelectuala, a drepturilor
de autor si conexe vor fi sanctionate mult mai dur, conform
unui
proiect de lege aprobat marti de guvern. Ministrul delegat pentru
control a anuntat ca sanctiunile, atat cele contraventionale,
cat si
cele privative de libertate vor fi majorate substantial, in
incercarea de limitare a acestui fenomen.

E-GOVERNMENT
>>>>03.New Public Sector Information brochure
...(ICTD newsmaster, 26/11/2004)
The new PSI brochure has just been published in English. The
public
sector is the single biggest producer of information in Europe.
Examples are geographic information, business information, statistics
and traffic information. This information resource has a considerable
social and
economic potential which is largely untapped.

>>>>04.Coping with e-government fallout
...(The Age, 12/11/2004)
In the second of a two-part series, Gary Flood looks at whether
there
is an e-government backlash coming. The e-government concept
can be
quite difficult for some people in local government, says Graham
Screen, head of information systems at Welsh e-government pioneer
Torfaen Borough Council. There's often a lot of sage nodding.
What's
clear is it works when it evolves organically from what you're
doing
now and when you bring the important internal stakeholders on
board.
We've always done this and had no backlash as a result.

>>>>05.French "legal simplification" law to boost e-government

On 18 November 2004 the French Parliament approved a new Law

the Law

...(eGovernment News, 22/11/2004)
According to a recent survey conducted by research and consulting

at
least one government website over the last 12 months, and most

>>>>08.London to develop new public services portal
...(eGovernment News, 25/11/2004)
London Connects, the agency in charge of advancing e-government
in
London, announced the appointment of a development partner for
the UK
capital's new e-services portal. The public launch of the portal

POLICY
>>>>09.European Commission adopts Communication
on future Information
Society strategy
...(eGovenment News, 23/11/2004)
The Communication outlines the Commission's view of the key
policy
challenges that a European Information Society strategy needs
to
address up to 2010, i.e. during the last five years of the Lisbon
Strategy. The document identifies challenges in a number of
areas,
including social inclusion and citizenship, content and services,
public services, skills and work, ICT as a key industry sector,
interoperability of ICT networks and applications, trust and
dependability, and ICT for business processes.

>>>>10.Free software: a common good in Brest
...(eGovenment News, 29/11/2004)
Since a few years, the City of Brest has been involved in the
diffusion of free software for the city administration. The
Open
Source Observatory has interviewed Michel Briand, assistant
to the
mayor of Brest. According to Mr. Briand, common open-source-based
office software such as word processing, spreadsheet, and Internet
browser has nowadays a quality level similar to proprietary
software.

ACCESS & INFORMATION
>>>>11.The biggest cases
...(The Age, 30/11/2004)
This civil case, which went to trial yesterday in the Federal
Court
in Sydney, will be of interest to several hundred million internet
users, their ISPs and a phalanx of copyright lawyers.It centres
on
Kazaa, a piece of networking software that allows users to share
files over the internet - such as music recordings, videos and
e-
books - often in breach of copyright, according to the international
music industry.

>>>>12.Controversy over free municipal wi-fi networks in
Spain
...(eGovernment News, 25/11/2004)
The city of Barcelona recently suspended its free wi-fi service
providing access to public interest websites, after the Spanish

threat.

E-VOTE
>>>>13.Geneva e-voting a Success
...(ICTD newsmaster, 2/11/2004)
Internet voting has been adopted by the Geneva citizens : in
the
eight municipalities where it was offered for the federal ballot
of
November the 28th, 22.4% of the voters who exercised their voting
rights used it to cast their ballot. In these municipalities,
postal
voting attracted
71.4% of voters and polling station voting drew another 6.2%

enabled ballot in Geneva and in Switzerland.
