postheadericon Panama's Government One Step Away From Passing The 'Worst Copyright Law In History'

Looks like Panama is configured to transmit the Andres Guadamuz (Technollama) called "the law of copyright worst in history." Bill 510 gives the copyright office share files Panamanian right to directly sue and be fined up to $ 100,000 with money flowing directly to the Copyright Office in the form of obligations to employees. No financial flows rights holders and those who received a fine may still face civil action from copyright holders.

infojustice.org reports that Bill 510 was adopted by Congress and is awaiting approval by the Executive Committee. Minister of Trade and Industry, Ricardo Quijano, seemed satisfied with their way through Congress:
[W] e implementation of this new law, our country [Panama] should be updated in the context of international and global.

Marcela
Palacia door (written by infojustice.org) asked whether the minister's statement is correct:



's Trade Minister right? International standards are applied by this law? This law gives special powers to the administrative body responsible for registration, storage, monitoring and inspection of copyright, allowing it to impose fines for offenders in violation of the general principles of law as "non bis in idem" and "presumption of innocence". Can equity and justice lead a refining process where the beneficiaries fines are the leaders of the organization?
door is fine. No other country has given to the copyright office of the unchecked power as before. The granting of the same freedom of action to prosecute offenders and add directly to the cost borne by the bonus pool is unprecedented. Undoubtedly, the "international standards" are underway, many of them at the request of the U.S. government (Turn acts at the request of the MPAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce). The worst parts of the U.S. copyright was signed into effect last year and Panama seems to have taken the "free trade agreement" as a starting point, rather than what is really illogical extreme.
rather late, the deputy Jose Blandon asked to make public law "to prevent public distrust about this law." Well, this is the shot that counts, I suppose, but transparency means that the public can participate before the last stage of the legislative process. At this stage, the project is two-thirds gone and any input will probably be too little, too late
