Mediante esta iniciativa se está pidiendo a la Unión Europea que no aumente el copyright sobre las obras musicales de 50 a 95 años como están exigiendo la industria discográfica y algunos artistas cortitos como Bisbal (el aumento de la duración del copyright beneficia a los propietarios de ese copyright, es decir, las discográficas, no los artistas).

Comunicado oficial:

The European Commission has imposed a penalty payment of € 899 million on Microsoft for non-compliance with its obligations under the Commission’s March 2004 Decision (see IP/04/382) prior to 22 October 2007. Today’s Decision, adopted under Article 24(2) of Regulation 1/2003, finds that, prior to 22 October 2007, Microsoft had charged unreasonable prices for access to interface documentation for work group servers. The 2004 Decision, which was upheld by the Court of First Instance in September 2007 (see CJE/07/63 and MEMO/07/359), found that Microsoft had abused its dominant position under Article 82 of the EC Treaty, and required Microsoft to disclose interface documentation which would allow non-Microsoft work group servers to achieve full interoperability with Windows PCs and servers at a reasonable price.

Lo importante de la multa no es imponerla sino cobrarla.
