in Spain, where the government, which has much more reasonable copyright (for example, do not blame the service providers for the actions of their users), was under tremendous pressure authorities American law of copyright "fix" in the way Hollywood wanted. There was a wave of public protests, and even the head of the Academy of Spanish cinema protested what appeared to be an attack on the internet. This delayed the project for a year or two, but last year, a new Spanish government rushed through approval of the bill almost without debate. This led the USTR to remove Spain from the special list 301 countries stupid and useless "bad" (as defined by Hollywood and washing through USTR).

Thus, although Spain is folded and basically gave the entire U.S. I wanted, Hollywood still complains and complains ... and said that Spain should be put on the list. Yes, because the same law that Hollywood would not really do what I expected (surprise there). So now they want

more law, even draconian, and the Spanish government seems to have rolled to the right and said. "Sure" The new law includes many provisions that the United States itself rejected in SOPA was abandoned. It will put a heavy burden on intermediaries and service providers, which inevitably means less of these providers, which is exactly the opposite of what the entertainment industry needs right now.

And now, in a move that will surprise almost no education in the country and Culture Minister Jose Ignacio Wert has more or less admitted that they try to stay 301 on the list of offers with this new law. There must be a mistake. A big mistake. Canada has taken the official position that it does not recognize as legitimate special 301 list, because it is a corrupt process. Spain should stand up for yourself and take a similar position, instead of being intimidated and forced out there like that. Only the fact that

and

approved U.S. law wanted
a year ago and the United States is back for should sound the alarm: Hollywood will never be satisfied. Spain should stop trying to please Hollywood and the USTR and focus on doing what is does best.
will actually be in Spain in a few weeks about some of these things, which should be interesting. Like other countries seem to go in the right direction with the copyright, it would be a shame that Spain continued to move in the opposite direction, thus compromising their own Internet economy.
