As all of us know, children security on the internet is a problematic issue. Yet an important one. it is constantly triggering a lot of discussions in pretty much all the countries and even in the European Parliament.

Having in mind that W3C will decide about the future of EME in the new HTML5 standard in a very short time, we decided to set up a panel debate that can help to raise awareness about this topic in general. 

Freedom not Fear. Svoboda místo strachu. Freiheit statt angst. Слобода уместо страха. La liberté pas la peur. In all languages, in many countries throughout the whole Europe a popular event was held in order to point out the importance of freedom in current digitized world.

I was honored by a fact that I could be present at a seminar devoted to the future of data mining and text mining in the European Union. The seminar was a formal one, but otherwise - after few formal speeches it turned into a nice discussion. It's name was quite a long one, but that's the way how practically every event related to EU is named: Pathways for Text and Data Mining – Balancing users’ and owners’ needs.

It was a normal day here in Brussels. But not for Amelia and the Pirate community.

Yesterday we had another meeting related to the copyright reform policy in the European Parliament. The name of the event was "Private Copying Levies and the main idea was: How to reform copyright and what should be done with the copyright levies that are payed when empty media is purchased.

As I've writen in my earlier post, most of the central European Pirate Parties are getting ready for the elections. This literally means Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and the Czech Republic.

After a long work the foundation of the Pirate Party Europe entered one of it's final stages.

As the month of September started, the elections in Germany (22nd September), Czech Republic (25 - 26th October) and Luxembourg (20th October) are closing.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jan Loužek, and my nickname in the internet reality is Aktron. I am a new intern here in Brussels at Amelia's office.
