JP: NPA will Online/Auktions/Gesetze ändern
-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
Im Land der aufgehenden Sonne will die National Police Agency
die Gesetze für Online-Auktions-Websites ändern. Unter Ausschluss
der Öffentlichkeit wird darüber gerade diskutiert.
Sollte dieser Beschluss durchgehen, wäre das weltweit der erste
Fall, bei dem polizeiliche Massnahmen ins Internet-Business
eingreifen und dieses wohl entsprechend verändern/behindern.
===============================================================
Japan's National Police Agency is pushing to change decades of
decades old auction law to apply to internet auction providers
while current national diet is on, but without public input. If
this law pushed through the diet, all auction site might have to
modify their biz models. Funnily, Japanese aucition site
providers are kind of not expressing oppositions. Some rumor
said they fear over restriction by police if they oppose and
others said Keizaisangyo Sho (Ministry of External Trade and
Industry) might be going to oppose to NPA initiated change.
If this change of law happened, this could be the world first
case of that the police reguration applied on internet biz and
this could be extended to any internet ecommerce in Japan while
the definition of "auction broker" is vague. And this could drag
growth of Web Service around because of the mechanisms of it based
on a machine exchaging orders in XML format to other machines.
Watch out what will happen next.
