no more “Bonanza” miss
Beat Flat (GLP) found that for Young linear television is something from the day before yesterday. You don’t know what pain used to be connected was, if you’ve missed an episode of “Bonanza”. Replay TV could not be prevented or restricted.
Andrea Gmür-Schönenberger (CVP/LU) was not it, a compulsive consumption of Advertising in the law. In addition, it is not clear how high impact it is. Christa Markwalder (FDP/BE), Replay TV corresponds to a customer need.
the SP-group is no longer supported by the scheme. Min Li Marti (SP/ZH) argued that, in the meantime, in the telecommunications act, a less far-reaching provision enshrined. This requires that the Replay TV Changes to the programs only with the consent of the organizer may be made. The Skipping of advertising is, however, no Change. As the Amendment would apply, if the advertisement would be replaced with others.
amount of failures are unclear
justice Minister Simonetta Sommaruga was also against the scheme. The time-shifted TV is popular, and the Public would not understand it if Replay TV, or more expensive, she said.
The situation was unclear. The transmission companies claimed that a year has escaped them because of Replay-TV advertising revenue of about 100 million Swiss francs. The cable system operator contested this sum. No one knows how much money it actually. And no one knows how the advertising market will develop in view of the changed consumption habits.
More Sommaruga pointed out that the cable distributor 35 million Swiss francs paid to the holders of the rights for the time-shifted television. A contribution for advertising failures is included.

consumer protection
In the run-up to the Discussions, the Foundation for consumer protection, criticized the proposed provision. They feared that the television stations won’t allow the Überspulen of advertising.
in Addition, could raise the transmitter licence fees for the Replay permission. The costs would be passed on to the consumers. Prior to that, also the umbrella organization for the network operator has warned. The big TV stations may have the right to the Überspulen advertising princely pay, he wrote.
dispute advertising numbers
The community of interest Radio and television, to the SRG and private broadcasters, thinks nothing of the criticism. The network operators it is just a matter of your own lucrative business, complain to them. The network should collect operators as in the past, had threatened the very existence of the financed advertising, freely available TV programs.
UPC and Swisscom stress, in turn, the advertising revenue had not declined since the introduction of Replay TV 2012. The TV advertising revenue has increased, according to Figures from the Foundation for advertising statistics much more.
Hosting Provider in the duty
it is also the Undisputed heart of the copyright law revision, the fight against piracy. This should be done in the case of the Swiss Hosting providers, content save. Already today, providers usually remove message content from their servers, if this is infringing. In the future, you will need to prevent the illegal offers will be re-uploaded without re-notification. If you do not, you can be prosecuted.
Originally wanted to take, the Federal Council is also an Access Provider, the Internet access provider. Should you need to lock on the instructions of the authorities the access to certain pages. After criticism in the consultation, the Federal Council saw but of network lock. Also on the planned measures against Peer-to-Peer networks such as music-sharing, he refused.
Longer protection period
on the other hand contains the template of measures, with which the potential of the digitization is better to be used. Of museums, libraries, and research institutions are to benefit. For Music artists and performers and phonograms producers term of protection of 50 will be extended to 70 years.
The Federal Council based on a compromise, on the culture and some of the end, producers, providers and consumers, after a long struggle. The goal is to balance the interests of creators on the Internet to protect age is better to criminalize without the Internet user.
All photographs
On Thursday protected the national Council of an extension of protection for photographs. Today, the copyright of photographs protects only if they are of an individual character. Photographs, documenting events, for example, the time, are unprotected. Professional photographers and hobby photographers can’t defend herself against an unwanted Takeover of your images. In the future, all photographs should be protected.
the national Council is in agreement that film makers receive a compensation for the Video-on-Demand use. The scheme should take account of the increasing Online use of works and the Disappearance of video stores account. Today, the film to achieve-creating, therefore, lower revenues.
Hotel levy deleted
New Hotels, hospitals and prisons should have for the use of public works in their spaces, not to pay more. The national Council decided to define this use as personal use. Sommaruga was in vain to bear in mind, for creators of culture, the loss meant up to one Million Swiss francs.
In the overall vote, the national Council passed the revised copyright law, with 196 votes to 0. In addition, he approved two agreements of the world intellectual property organization. This guarantee in the international ratio of a Standard that is enshrined in Swiss law. The proposal has now been submitted to the Council of States., hospitals and prisons.
