Transcript from video clip about Telecoms Package with MEP Christofer Fjellner (PPE/DE Sweden)

HELP NEEDED : Lots of typos / Need for french and other translations afterwards. (thanx to tonfa for timecoding)

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,440 You are member of the parliement and it's debating about the telecom package

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

3 00:00:08,202 --> 00:00:10,957 that the telecom package doesn't open any doors

4 00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:13,030

for filtering of the internet

5 00:00:13,066 --> 00:00:19,052 or what has been called the graduated response

6 00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:21,655 so called "three strikes and you are out of the internet",

7 00:00:21,656 --> 00:00:25,003 that the french government has been working with.

8 00:00:25,095 --> 00:00:28,683 I am trying to secure that the telecoms package

9 00:00:28,681 --> 00:00:31,273 doesn't create any possibilities for 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 if they were criminals.

12 00:00:37,099 --> 00:00:40,729 Just because some of them might do something like that on the internet,

13 00:00:40,766 --> 00:00:47,416 you can't filter everybody just to get to some people.

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 that the post-office would be allowed to open everybodies letters

16 00:00:54,495 --> 00:01:00,529 to read them just to see if somebody is sending bad or illegal within the letters.

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

18 00:01:03,751 --> 00:01:05,516 then internet will be filtered.

19 00:01:05,606 --> 00:01:09,730 But they give a possibility and take us one step further

20 00:01:09,784 --> 00:01:12,593

towards letting memberstates filter the internet.

21 00:01:12,619 --> 00:01:22,130 ...the reason that those compromising and those complicated bad amendments

22 00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:24,520 got in there is massive lobby campaign I think.

23 00:01:24,592 --> 00:01:32,473 A massiv lobby-campaign from different right-holders or film-industry, music-industry

24 00:01:32,491 --> 00:01:37,956 that think it is okay to use filtering and "three strikes and you are out"

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

26 00:01:40,887 --> 00:01:46,135 But what I feel is the problem that we have a division in generations here.

27 00:01:46,189 --> 00:01:50,499 That some of my collegues view the internet

28 00:01:50,507 --> 00:01:56,901

as.. just in means of downloading or just a problem.

29 00:01:56,955 --> 00:02:03,081 It's that of seeing that it's actually an extremely important part of people's life.

30 00:02:03,171 --> 00:02:08,770 And then it's actually a way of using your freedom of expression,

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

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

33 00:02:13,964 --> 00:02:17,994 "Hey!" and tell them "I would like to explain something. How I view this.".

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

35 00:02:21,794 --> 00:02:24,669 Not only the members of parliament here in European Parliament,

36 00:02:24,712 --> 00:02:27,463 they can call their members of the national parliament and say:

37 00:02:27,553 --> 00:02:30,111 "Hey, what does your party think of this, that's happening."

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

39 00:02:31,781 --> 00:02:35,592 so just to get it raised to the debate

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

41 00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:41,270 We have to at least take every fight one step at a time.

42 00:02:41,306 --> 00:02:44,083 And hopefully, eventually - I think we will win.

I am just trying to make sure that the telecoms package does not open any doors for filtering of the internet or what has been called the graduated response so called "three strikes and you are out of the internet", that the french government has been working with.

You can't turn legislation upside-down and treat people as if they were criminals, just because some of them might do something like on the internet. You can't filter everybody just to get to some people.

It's like the post-office: Imagine that the post-office would be allowed to open everybodies letters to read them just to see if somebody is making something bad or illegal within the letters. ...It's not like if... the telecom package will be voted through tomorrow, then internet will be filtered. But hey give a possibility and take us one step further towards letting memberstates filter the internet.

...the reason that those compromising and complicated bad ammedments got in there is massive lobby campaign I think. A massiv lobby-campaign from different right-holders or film-industry, music-industry that think it is okay to use filtering and "three strikes and you are out" to actually protect copyright.

But what I feel is the problem that we have a division in generations here. That some of my collegues view the internet just in menas of downloading or just a problem. (..) It's actually an extremly important part of people's life. And then it's actually a way of using your freedom on expression, freedom to information

Call your members of parliaments "Hey!" and tell them "I would like to explain something. How I view this." .

Thats a thing that people can do, towards their politicans. Not only the members of parliament here in Europe, they can call their members of the national parliament and say "Hey, what does your party think of this, thats happening." So just to get it raised to the debate and then they are aware that people really care about it.

we have to at least take every fight on step of the time. And hopefully, eventually - I think we will win.
