State secretary Teeven of Security and Justice has let know that for the amount of the claim for enforcement of the downloadverbod distinction is made between users that large-scale download and those who do not.
Teeven made this known during a debate with the Second chamber’s Members about the upcoming new copyright policy. The secretary of state wants, against the wishes of the majority of the Second Chamber a downloadverbod and the abolition of the thuiskopieheffing. He stressed again that the choice is between these two, which are preferred to the first goes out because he thuiskopie an ‘obsolete system’.
The biggest concern of the mps is that individual users addressed. In its original plans, was all that Teeven only thinks of addressing users that ‘on a large scale infringement’ and that by ‘obvious illegal source’ download, but after questions in parliament about this, made the secretary of state not clear what is here now under should be considered. During the debate on Wednesday, it became clear that he has in mind that in the law a provision on a ‘rechtsvermoeden with regard to substantial damages’ to be recorded. This would be internet users who are on a limited scale download protected and to keep out of harm.
It is still unclear where exactly the boundary is, but this wants Teeven to the next time with involved parties to talk. Also, it is still unclear how the level of copyright infringement exactly found is going to be. The minister said that internet service providers ‘role’ can play it, but it remained unclear what role he has in mind. “I want to be no control of internet traffic,” he said. “But I must do something.”
