Summary:

From Google Translate: "On publikungsfreiheit.de the publisher Front is made against planned scientific-friendly changes in copyright law. A number of publishers are currently writing their authors to ask them to support the action through their signature. The mail of a very large German legal publisher is available. It says literally: "As can be seen the now present draft bill, e ine serious and comprehensive limitation, your rights planned. Up to 25% of a work should vergütungsfrei of universities, libraries and other educational institutions can be used. " In the public The draft law provides that:

Section 60a (1) UrhG-E
"For the purpose of illustrating instruction and teaching at educational institutions, up to 25 per cent of a published work may be reproduced, disseminated, made public, and otherwise  publicly displayed for non-commercial purposes . 1. for teachers and participants of the respective event, 2. for Teachers and examiners at the same educational institution, and 3. for third parties, as far as the presentation of teaching, teaching or learning results at the educational institution. "
 
Section 60h para. 1 UrhG-E
 
'The author shall be entitled to payment of an appropriate remuneration for uses in accordance with this sub-section. Reproductions shall be remunerated in accordance with Sections 54 to 54c.'
 
If the planned provisions are law, then ALL authors will be able to look forward to a stable distribution over the VG word. What remains to be a 'comprehensive restriction' of rights remains incomprehensible. The assertion, in any case, that usage is free of charge, is a straightforward lie. Unfortunately, it can not be expressed more diplomatically.
 
Other publishers have also sent similar letters to their authors. 
 
On the website of publikationsfreiheit.de the undoubtedly important fundamental rights of freedom of opinion, press and science are called as the target point of the campaign. Literally,
 
'In a time when it is more important than ever to clarify and defend the boundaries between facts and knowledge on the one hand and assertions and half-knowledge on the other, these fundamental rights must be strengthened.'
 
I can only support this concern. 
 
Therefore, I will not sign an appeal, which is used to advertise supporters and supporters of false claims. If someone has already done so, he or she should seriously consider re-signing his or her signature in this dubious campaign."
