Last week's hearing of AGCOM President
Corrado Calabrò before two commissions of the Italian Senate has left many
copyright owners pretty disappointed, in that it seemed that the AGCOM would not adopt any regulation in the immediate future.
Now the scenario appears to have changed.
AGCOM may be keen to issue its online copyright regulation before its
members are replaced next May.
In a letter sent to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera last Saturday, as well as during
another hearing at the Senate this morning, Calabrò made it clear that AGCOM has not given up the idea of
going ahead with its regulation.

However, the Communication Authority is
said to be waiting for Mario Monti's Government to say whether AGCOM is
actually competent to adopt a general copyright regulation. A member of the Government and former President of the Italian Competition Authority Antonio Catricalà is apparently working on this. What is needed is an
interpretation of AGCOM's powers to this end, as resulting from:
(1) Article 6 of Legislative Decree No 44, 15 March 2010
(by which Italy implemented Directive 2007/65/EC -- the so called Audiovisual Media
Services Directive);
(3) Legislative Decree No 70, 9 April 2003 (by which Italy implemented Directive 2000/31/EC -- the so called Ecommerce Directive).
A copyright regulation to be adopted, Definitely Maybe? This blogger suggests that, rather than the title of the first album by Oasis, it
would be better to revert to something more recent in time:
'Cause you're
hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
... To be continued ...
