Here we can change something, and all mail can make a difference, because the EP is still little seen, so that your mail has a good chance to be really read.

While Germany still has to implement some EU directives

*** Specifically, the draft contains the following weaknesses: ***
1.The definitions in the current draft are so imprecise that they

No one is exactly sure as this. We call for clear definitions that
purely private acts are not on generating profit
oriented activities, explicitly exclude from criminal prosecution
.
2.The current draft threatens to third parties liable if the techniques offered by
copyright violations take place and for
would also implement
criminal law (Article 3 IPRED2). This is true as Internet service providers who lock in future
P2P network services faster in order to avoid the potential
punishment. Similarly, it will take programmers who create new
P2P software or the operators of Internet sites like YouTube.

3.The draft contains such vague definitions make

not even the experts and ask them if they really mean
that the private trade music on the Internet should be punished by imprisonment
