piracy laws referred problems

Google CEO Eric Schmidt


The few days ago, Google CEO Eric Schmidt has publicly positioned against piracy laws that want to implement the U.S. and UK authorities as "threatening freedom of expression."

The laws referred Schmidt are Britain's Digital Economy Act, which allows courts to block websites, as well as to Protect U.S. IP which proposes to block file sharing pages cutting off access to DNS.

"I would be very, very careful if I were a government on the arbitrary application of simple solutions to complex problems," said Schmidt.

For the manager of Google, such anti-piracy solutions "set a very bad precedent" and that give rise to other countries to say no I like the freedom of speech so I will cut off access to all the DNS. "

The country regards China Schmidt is known for its relentless censorship in the network and the U.S. and the UK would end up looking like if they pass these laws, believes the manager.

Also, speaking and on behalf of Google, has said that if these rules come into force his company would not agree to cooperate in its implementation, despite a few months ago the search launched a package of measures to combat piracy.

In another vein, Schmidt talked about the recurring theme of facial recognition, ensuring once again that despite being a viable system (who apparently have done), think not released due to privacy issues.
