The support of the automotive industry by scrapping was expensive and unnecessary. The arrangements for life extension with the nuclear industry were scandalous. The introduction of a new industrial property law was beating the drum from the floor.
Policy in Germany seems to completely lose their grip. We adopted not only further and further from the interests of voters in favor of the interests of individual economic lobby groups, but obviously also on the commitment to the social market economy. Government intervention, neither the free competition, nor are the social component, but only privileging specific sectors, bear witness to the corruption of the system. Currently, therefore, the press publishers are involved in self-service counter in order to buy their own intellectual property right.
What is the related right?
A related right is the state assignment of a right to a subject. For something so far is unprotected, so free from all men monopolized usable for providers of certain services. This is to promote generally the provision of such services. The best example of this is the Patent. The state would not grant this patent, the inventor would have no interest to publish his technical progress, but would seek to be kept secret. In the interest of the overall progress, however, it is advantageous if the level of research is known as a starting point.
With its press performance rights, do the publishers can provide their own right. So far, press articles normally fall under the copyright laws. This is with the Creator of the press product, as the editor. The publishers have to let the legal rights related components of the grant by copyright license, which happens regularly (eg employment contract). Recourse to a publisher in a dispute that right, they must prove it, which can be connected in a particular case with a certain amount. Therefore, the publishers want to own right by law.
Copyright is also limited in scope. First, a product must have a certain amount of creation, on the other hand there are a number of barriers, such as the Zitierfreiheit or the private copy. Small text fragments and short excerpts from a press article are generally not already be protected. It is with these snippets, called snippets to work, but Google News and others. The new service will also cover such legal protection. This is already monopolized short phrases. This can In extreme cases, cause you do not know which phrases you can still use safely.
third part of the new performance rights should be a levy on commercial use, so even reading for business purposes. For example, if business relies on the assessment of a competitor or business partner search engines to newspapers and magazines, he should pay for it. Therefore, a new development company to be founded. As you look at the enforcement of such payment obligation without a comprehensive monitoring of all user imagines, is unfortunately not yet said. The law would in any case, probably for the paper tiger degenerate and only for legal arguments, which deserve to lead no one except the lawyers.
It's all about money
The right to make money. The publishers predict the demise of the West - or the press diversity - if not their alleged financing gaps can close on the related right. They feel from search engines and news portals like Google News exploited, as they would earn money with their content. The publishers have missed the jump onto the Internet and even if this business is growing very quickly, so that not all publishers now black Leave pay. Nevertheless, the publishers are not from ruin. Even if the big media publishers were suddenly no longer would be offered not less, of course, press products, the market would be only small-scale, resulting in a better performance means increasing competition and therefore quality.
Conclusion
We need no such performance rights and the press, publishers will not die from it all. A change in market structures, even to the detriment of publishers, is not the end of press diversity. For a related right thus, there is justification. No one can seriously a private GEZ the publishers want. Contrary
any reason, is the introduction of the performance rights included in the coalition agreement. Therefore, we must all take action to prevent it.
