OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
A new organization of young filmmakers calling itself movieLOL has started to defend Net Neutrality in Europe by lobbying in the EU and raising awareness through their website, www.movielol.org . They are working together with Member of European Parliament (MEP) Bart Staes who has stated that he fully supports Net Neutrality and will debate it with the European Commission.
According to movieLOL, the internet is the first
medium in history that allows for freedom of speech on a global scale.
The new group says that it does not matter whether you are a big news
site or a casual blogger, everyone is treated equally. This is what is
called ‘Net Neutrality’, the group says. Many cable companies,
including the leading internet providers in the US are planning to
change this, which will lead to massive discrimination and censorship,
movieLOL claims.
Net Neutrality has been gaining momentum in US Congress and now Europe
is reacting as well. movieLOL is working with MEP’s like Bart Staes who
will be mounting a coalition to defend Net Neutrality in the European
Parliament.
“Hopefully this will send a powerful message to U.S. Congress to show
that implementing Net Neutrality is an important measure to protect
internet freedom around the globe,” said Dries Leysen, a representative
of movieLOL.
