Door mijn kennis te structureren en verder onderzoek te doen voor mijn boek over fotorecht is een ding wel duidelijk: De auteurswet is hopeloos gedateerd en dat lijkt geen toeval. Uitgevers hebben afgelopen jaren meer rechten gekregen en fotografen minder. De inningsindustrie lobbyt stevig.
Veel meer dan een desinfecterend zonnetje kan ik helaas niet doen. Dus daar gaan we weer:
45.000 euro boete voor Photoclaim en Fechner
Al in 2022 blijkt de beruchte fototrol Photoclaim met advocaat Robert Fechner beboet te zijn door de mededingingsautoriteit in Italië. Niets, echt niets, lazen we daarover in de Nederlandse pers. En ook na mijn stuk op Netkwesties is het vooralsnog niet opgepikt. Met ANP en DPG Media die zelf massaal onredelijke fotoclaims laten versturen niet verwonderlijk.
Ook Copytrack blijkt onderzocht te zijn
De Italiaanse mededingingsautoriteit blijkt ook Copytrack onderzocht te hebben. Zij heeft echter alle aantijgingen toegegeven en beloofd om haar leven te beteren. In Italië lijkt Copytrack niet meer actief.
De Nederlandse mededingingsautoriteit geeft aan dat zij in tegenstelling tot de Italiaanse mededingingsautoriteiten alleen de bevoegdheid heeft om namens particulieren op te treden. Ik betwijfel dat, ZZP-ers dienen mijns inziens dezelfde rechtsbescherming te krijgen als particulieren.
De Italiaanse auteurswet
Ik dook nog eens in oude Italiaanse nieuwsberichten over de twee fototrollen en ontdekte dat Italië een apart hoofdstuk heeft in de wet voor foto’s.
Ik kan me niet aan de indruk onttrekken dat Nederland met opzet niks in de wet zet over hergebruik van foto’s op internet. Dan blijft er namelijk lekker veel over om over te bakkeleien. Kunnen er uurtjes geschreven worden. Met als triest dieptepunt de discussie of het portretrecht uit 1912 wel of niet geldt bij digitaal gebruik. Terwijl dat hele portretrecht met de komst van de AVG geschrapt kan worden uit de wet.
Ik heb de petitie Update de auteurswet nieuw leven ingeblazen, onder andere dus naar aanleiding van de Italiaanse auteurswet.
Onderzoeksrapport
Kort na start van deze petitie was er al een motie over en nu, ruim vier jaar, later ligt er een onderzoeksrapport. Het zoveelste zoethoudertje. De zelfbenoemde beschermers van het auteursrecht helpen het om zeep: Door keer op keer niet te benoemen dat de rechten van freelancers misbruikt worden door mediagiganten en de kleine fotogebruiker als zondebok aan te wijzen voor de dalende inkomsten.
Ik geloof dat ik dat het meest frustrerendste vind. Dat fotografen niet door hebben hoe hun auteursrecht uitgebuit wordt en meegaan in het frame dat de kleine fotogebruiker hun foto’s jat.
Vergeten groente
Ik zie regelmatig claims voor foto’s waarvan de rechten zijn vervallen en kwam zo een merkwaardig wetsartikel tegen. Met artikel 45o Aw blijkt een vervallen recht weer tot leven gewekt te kunnen worden: Van een werk dat nooit is uitgegeven en waarvan de rechten zijn vervallen krijgt de uitgever in Nederland 25 jaar lang het auteursrecht.
Bizar! Het betekent dat de partij die negatieven bemachtigd van een particulier die meer dan 70 jaar dood is auteursrechten krijgt als zij de foto’s publiceert. Mag je als ontvanger van zo’n claim gaan bewijzen dat de foto wél ooit is uitgegeven.
Het blijft voor mij dweilen met de kraan open. Voorlopig moet ik dus door met aan de bel trekken en uitleggen hoe het juridisch in elkaar steekt. Geen ambtenaar te vinden die wil helpen, laat staan dat er opgetreden wordt. En ik kan de mensen ook nog steeds niet doorverwijzen naar een betrouw- en betaalbaar loket.
Dat gezegd hebbende. Let op! Er zijn commerciële partijen, waaronder advocaten, die helpen met fotoclaims. Een eerste reactie is gratis of ze lokken je met een laag eenmalig bedrag. Doel van deze partijen is echter niet zo snel mogelijk oplossen maar een discussie uitlokken die soms zelfs bij de rechter belandt. En dan win je misschien wel, maar is de kans aanwezig dat je blijft zitten met stevige proceskosten. Zoals in de zaak die ANP verloor.
Teken en deel de petitie! Deel je ervaringen online. Een desinfecterend zonnetje is alles wat we kunnen doen.
En steun mijn gerechtelijke stappen tegen ANP door een donatie te doen of bekendheid te geven aan de crowdfunding: alle kleine beetjes helpen.
Groet! De petitionaris
Bedankt iedereen voor het tekenen van de petitie en aan het meedoen met overige acties. Het heeft in ieder geval voorlopig gewerkt.
Betaald parkeren is uitgesteld door zorgen van bewoners, bedrijven en overige instellingen. Maar dit betekent niet dat de strijd is gestreden. Uitstel is namelijk geen afstel! Dit toont wel degelijk aan dat we samen een verschil kunnen maken. Wie er nog niet in gelooft is hopelijk nu wel overtuigd. Steun de petitie en laten we samen met een beter plan komen!
Samen zijn we sterker!!!

Urgent Action Needed: End the Plight of Sudanese Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Amid Ongoing Crisis and War in Sudan"
Your Excellency,
Allow us to start with the warnings issued by international organisations that Sudan will suffer an unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe if the ongoing war does not stop permanently.
The intense fighting is putting the lives, safety, and security of civilians at grave risk all over Sudan. The new escalation in violence is exacerbating an already devastating situation and making people desperately need urgent help. At least more than 500 people have died and thousands injured since the power struggle between Sudan's army and paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) descended into fighting almost four weeks ago.
The fighting has pushed Sudan's population to near breaking point, with food becoming scarce, electricity cut off and many hospitals shut down. To make things worse, multiple aid agencies have suspended operations, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it was gearing up for potentially tens of thousands of people including children, women, and the elderly, fleeing to neighbouring countries.
The UN refugee agency also stated that “the ongoing brutal conflict has forced more than 100,000 Sudanese Refugees to flee neighboring countries, and at least 20,000 Sudanese refugees to flee to Chad from Darfur”, which it describes as “one of the regions most affected by violence of Sudan, and where growing instability might cause much larger displacement in the coming weeks.”
Regrettably, the situation in Sudan remains volatile. There are no positive signs on the horizon about an imminent end to the fighting, and people in Sudan are still living in fear every single day. Bodies are scattered in the streets, children, and women are among the victims. It seems the voice of bullets has prevailed over the voice of wisdom, sanity and the sanctity of our homeland and the safety of its citizens.
The signatories believes that the dilemma of the transitional period lies in the existence of multiple heads of power and decision-making centres. In addition, the de facto authority is neither elected nor decentralized and is unable to take decisive decisions. We are particularly saddened that once again, avaricious, and power-hungry men have trampled upon the needs and wishes of Sudanese people.
In the face of this tragic scene, the world watched with interest how the concerned countries hastened to evacuate their diplomatic missions and nationals from Sudan, which left an impression among many that the crisis is likely to deteriorate rapidly.
However, we are particularly saddened to see these countries racing to evacuate their nationals from Sudan, while they stand by and watch the catastrophic scene in this country. The paradox here is that the majority of these countries provide support to the two warring parties, the army and the Rapid Support Forces, in accordance with their interests. We are also shocked to learn that some of these countries have ruled out introducing safe and legal routes for Sudanese fleeing the war to seek asylum in their soil.
The signatories strongly believes that the relevant Dutch authorities should grant all Sudanese asylum seekers the right to settle immediately and without any conditions under their applicable legislations, and in the light of the ongoing war in Sudan.
Those unfortunate people and their families have endured years of uncertainty and are traumatized as a result, let alone the psychological, emotional, and financial problems they are experiencing. Many suffer from panic attacks, nightmares, and psychological problems due to the long wait for decisions regarding their asylum applications.
Undoubtedly, the ongoing war in their country, the lack of security and basics elements of normal life for the citizens there and the constant concern for the safety of their families have exacerbated the suffering of these people and made their psychological and mental conditions worse than ever.
We hereby strongly appeal to your esteemed administration to take the necessary measures to end the plight of Sudanese asylum seekers, their long suffering and grant them asylum to prove that the Netherlands is at the forefront of sponsoring countries for refugees fleeing repression and persecution in their country in search of safe havens.
Sincerely,

Onze acties voor het redden van Bossen gaan door in heel Nederland
Wij luiden de noodklok
Omdat Staatsbosbeheer van plan is om nog veel meer hectare bos te kappen.
Klokkenluider Citaat: “Men wil de onvervangbare mooie bomen met subsidie verstoken in ziekmakende biomassa centrales. Men wil de natuur vernietigen zodat een enorme kale vlakte overblijft waar Staatsbosbeheer nog eens 200 voetbalvelden met zand wil gaan kiepen om daarmee de indruk te wekken dat men het voor het aanleggen van een zandgebied en voor biodiversiteit doet, maar zij maken de biodiversiteit kapot, het gaat hun alleen maar om geld en het innen van subsidies voor het verstoken van bomen in ziekmakende houtovens.
Zij hebben gelogen en bedrog gepleegd want de bomen halen stikstof uit de lucht, ze zorgen voor verkoeling, en ze houden de bodem vast en dat is nodig voor de veiligheid, men liegt dat het gedrukt staat, meer klokkenluiders spreken van corruptie omkoping, er is helemaal geen M.E.R (Milieu Effect Rapportage) gemaakt, er is gelogen, rapporten zijn vervalst en men liegt dat het om beschermende maatregelen voor “de natuur” zou gaan. De kap moet verboden worden en er dient een parlementaire enquete te komen naar corruptie/omkoping, de vreselijke aanslag op flora en fauna zoals de massale boomkap in Nederland en de miljardenzwendel/subsidie op het verstoken van bomen, de zeer grote schade, het ziek worden van steeds meer Nederlanders( longkanker/copd) door het inademen van /fijnstof/gifstoffen die vrijkomen bij het verbranden van hout in biomassa-centrales
Bewoners van Schoorl vragen u om hen mee te helpen om het bos te behouden. Ons mooiste duingebied van Nederland Trekt 2,2 miljoen bezoekers en dat is omdat ons gebied prachtig is zoals het is Wij houden van ons bos en denken dat u ook van ons bos houdt. Help ons dit bos te behouden
