Topic: say hello to the Fresh and New Philippine DRM law ala RA8293

[MasterChief63]

Congress has just passed a law erasing this right. The law — a consolidated measure amending RA 8293, was sent to Malacañang Palace on January 29, 2013 and just needs the signature of President Benigno Aquino III to become effective. Under this new law, once you modify a device (for instance “jailbreaking” an Apple product such as an iPhone or iPad) in order to remove restrictions on what and how apps and content can be stored and used — you can be held criminally liable for ”copyright infringement.” The amended version introduces for the first time in our criminal law the concept of “digital rights management” (DRM) – which also covers how we use digital devices on the Internet and which behaviors are considered criminal.

Illegal pa rin sa US at CA ng jailbreak pero sa US illegal na rin ang SIM UNLOCK ng phone under contract na di alam ng carrier

[icer]

Wala rin naman mangyayari diyan... Sakit sa ulo lang ng gobyerno ang pagiimplement nito... Ihalintulad natin yan sa piracy dito sa pinas. Matagal na rin naman ito illegal but in the end kahit saang sulok dito sa pinas may nagbebenta pa rin at pati mga tao tumatangkilik pa rin.

[Boy.Pickup]

ask lang po ksama b ibang phone sa law na to if na passed?.

Yan batas na yan ay very technical pa pero may bago batas na ipinasa na di natin namamalayan. Nilito tayo ng iba't ibang isyu kaya di nabantayan ang pagpasa ng batas na ito. I am referring to the Data Privacy Law (RA10173). The provisions seem innocent looking pero if you really study the implications, ang higpit nito. May parusa sa sinuman mag reveal ng any personal info about any person without the person's consent.  Ang palusot dito eh hinahalintulad sa pag declare ng doctor ng info sa karamdaman ng isang tao.  Pero di naman specific na sinabi lang na medical info. Very generic ang pagkaka refer sa personal info. So pag nag post ka ng pic ni Katrina Halili at di nya alam ito, you are liable under the law. The online community should start a move to have this law repealed soonest.

[kenji_kulet]

  so even if it's in my external HDD pala walang kawala how effin' rude and stupid ang daming turista at balikbayan ang pumapasok ng pinas kaya nila isa-isahin yun?

[Boy.Pickup]

if ever you commit this on your device for example sa phone mo whats the effect sa phone mo?.

pwede!

baka pati open line na units covered ng batas.

[lex888]

This amendment is unconstitutional.  What is protected by copyright is the unlawful duplication and distribution of copyrighted materials.  Here, if I buy an Iphone, ownership is transferred to me from the time of delivery.  Save for illegal duplication and duplication, I  can do whatever I want with the phone since it is an attribute of ownership.  I can break it, throw it, modify it and even repaint it.  By doing so i could not be held liable since no copyright was violated.   With the passage of this amendment, it virtually makes an owner liable if he breaks his phone.  It is therefore an unlawful taking of personal property without due process of law.  

[remark]

useless law..corruption nga hindi matigil jailbreaking pa kaya

[MasterChief63]

pwede!

baka pati open line na units covered ng batas.

its not the issue of OPEN LINE/SIM UNLOCKING

its the issue of circumventing the security protocols placed by the Manufacturer of the electronic device to install applications and transferring multimedia outside the intended protocols

Unconstitutional? i dont thinks so, BULLSHIT? yep it is

Software and multimedia are protected under Intellectual Property laws, we can buy APPs/Games, Songs, Videos/Movies and Literature BUT WE DO NOT OWN THEM, they are still owned by whoever published them, we simply PAYED for the right to have copies and use them as we see fit except duplication and profit by selling or sharing with other people

we are also NOT ALLOWED to modify an electronic device to use the device in a manner other than what the manufacturer intended it for, so if the manufacturer declares their product can only install applications or download multimedia in a SPECIFIC WAY (I.E. from a specific source such as a dedicated repository of applications and multimedia) modifying to circumvent this is technically illegal

the Hardware and Software/OS of Electronics are BELONG to the PATENT owners, we simply BUY the RIGHT to USE their products and we do not have the right to modify them to bypass security measures preventing applications and multimedia to by placed and used in their products outside the accepted protocols

[marcusius]

Well this sucks. Bakit ba sila sige kafocus sa mga ganitong batas? bakit di nila unahin yung pag-aayos ng batas na mas makabuluhan at mas makakatulong sa mga tao tulad nga ng batas na magpopromote ng transparency sa mga government official para makatulong laban sa corruption. Panay loopholes pa rin ang mga lumang batas natin e.

Besides, i don't think na ready ang gobyerno natin na ipatupad ng maayos ang ganitong klaseng batas.

[Dairycow]

kahit android rooting? grabidad naman yun.


well kung papaigtingin ang pag implement. ayos na ayos tong batas na ito IMO.

Approving the law is one step...Implementing it may be doubly difficult though... Yung piracy nga ng dvd di nila masugpo paano pa kaya itong mga komplikadong bagay na ito?Paano nman nila kaya imomonitor kung mga rooted at jailbreak na devices?

[piningerZ]

NOTHING will happen to this law.  Kung yung pirated DVD's nga sa Metrowalk, di maalis-alis.  Almost a decade na yata nandun.
