00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,440
You are member of the parliament and debating about the "Telecoms Package"

2
00:00:04,517 --> 00:00:08,150
Right now I'm trying to make sure

3
00:00:08,202 --> 00:00:10,957
that the telecoms packet doesn't open any door

4
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:13,030
for filtering Internet

5
00:00:13,066 --> 00:00:19,052
or the graduate response

6
00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:21,655
«3 strikes and you're out of Internet»

7
00:00:21,656 --> 00:00:25,003
the French government was working on

8
00:00:25,095 --> 00:00:28,683
I try to make sure the Telecoms Package

9
00:00:28,681 --> 00:00:31,273
can't create that.

10
00:00:31,273 --> 00:00:33,966
You can't turn legislation upside down

11
00:00:33,984 --> 00:00:37,063
and treat people as criminals

12
00:00:37,099 --> 00:00:40,729
Just because some might do something bad

13
00:00:40,766 --> 00:00:47,416
you can't filter anybody.

14
00:00:47,583 --> 00:00:48,646
It's like the post office :

15
00:00:48,754 --> 00:00:54,477
Imagine if the post office can open every letter

16
00:00:54,495 --> 00:01:00,529
to see if somebody is sending something illegal.

17
00:01:00,601 --> 00:01:03,751
It's not like if the Telecoms Package is voted tomorrow

18
00:01:03,751 --> 00:01:05,516
the Internet will be filtered.

19
00:01:05,606 --> 00:01:09,730
but it takes us one step further

20
00:01:09,784 --> 00:01:12,593
to let states filter Internet.

21
00:01:12,619 --> 00:01:22,130
Those complicated bad amendments results from

22
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:24,520
massive lobbying campaign

23
00:01:24,592 --> 00:01:32,473
from right holders and the music/film industry.

24
00:01:32,491 --> 00:01:37,956
that think it's ok to filter and suspend Internet connections

25
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:40,833
to protect copyright

26
00:01:40,887 --> 00:01:46,135
The problem is that we have a division in generations.

27
00:01:46,189 --> 00:01:50,499
Some of my colleagues view the Internet

28
00:01:50,507 --> 00:01:56,901
just as a mean of download or just a problem.

29
00:01:56,955 --> 00:02:03,081
But that's actually an extremely important part of people's lives

30
00:02:03,171 --> 00:02:08,770
and a way to use freedom of expression

31
00:02:08,806 --> 00:02:11,191
and freedom of information.

32
00:02:11,209 --> 00:02:13,910
Pick up the phone, call your members of parliament

33
00:02:13,964 --> 00:02:17,994
and tell them : "I'd like to explain how i view this".

34
00:02:18,012 --> 00:02:21,740
That's the thing that people can do towards their politicians.

35
00:02:21,794 --> 00:02:24,669
Not only their members of parliament

36
00:02:24,712 --> 00:02:27,463
but also members of their national parliament and ask

37
00:02:27,553 --> 00:02:30,111
« What your party think about this ? »

38
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,566
Reach your government

39
00:02:31,781 --> 00:02:35,592
just to get it debated

40
00:02:35,628 --> 00:02:38,518
and make people aware that this something people care about

41
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:41,270
Wa have to take every fight once at a time

42
00:02:41,306 --> 00:02:44,083
and hopefully we will win.
