On Tuesday June 4 (that’s today!), we have a barbecue in front of Kramladen. We bring grill and coal, you bring food and beverages for yourselves. We might do that more often, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and keep up-to-date.
On Wednesday, June 5, we have a so called “Kaffeeklatsch” starting at 17:00 in the seminar room 48-453. We have free waffles and coffee and you can chat with your fellow students. We especially invite international students to this event (although you are welcome at every Fachschaft event, this time we try to be super-international and ask everybody to keep conversation in English!)
On Friday, June 14, the AStA Sommerfest takes place. The Fachschaft contributes to this big open-air party and organizes a Crêpes stand. As usual we are searching for volunteers. If you want to help out, visit the Fachschaft and ask the people there, or directly write yourself on the list of helpers. PS: you get free Crêpes if you help!
The next Student Council Meeting takes place on Wednesday, 15th May at 15:30 in 48-453. The current agenda is as follows:
We will elect the departments “Prüfungsberatung” and “VLU”.
If you want to purpose any changes to the agenda, you can do so in the Etherpad. I’m looking forward to see you there.
On 15 May, 18:00 there is a Mate Tasting in room 48-453. Participation costs 5 €. We will taste over ten kinds of Mate lemonades you can try—also as blind taste testing, so you don’t know which kind you are actually trying.
If you want to participate, register until 13 May by sending a mail to events@fsin.fo. Registration is binding.
We look forward to you and the Mate 
The new semester is beginning and it’s PARTY TIME again!
Let’s celebrate together into the new summer semester 2019 at the Semester Opening 2019 on April 25th starting from 9pm in Foyer 46. The entrance fee is 5€ including wardrobe. Blinded eyes and Private Place will be there. Now all that’s missing is you for it to be a great party!
———————————–
You want to help?
We’re glad about your helping hands. Everyone who helps gets free entrance to the party and a voucher for drinks. Anyone who helps with cleaning up an disassembly after the party or helps for two regular shifts will be invited to an extra meal sometime afterwards.
The lists for helpers are hanging in front of the AStA-office in Foyer 46. Why don’t you stop by there?

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the plenary!
Over the last two years, the European Parliament has been working on a reform of copyright law for the digital age. The final draft was adopted in the trialogue on 13 February and will be voted on by the European Parliament on 28 March.
The student council of computer science at the TU Kaiserslautern welcomes the idea of adapting copyright law to today’s circumstances in which everyone can be a producer and author on the Internet. However, the proposed Directives force us to oppose the Copyright Directive. Two paragraphs in particular worry us: Article 11 (protection of press releases concerning digital use) and Article 13 (use of protected content by information society service providers [...]).
Article 11 allows press publishers to charge money already for displaying extracts from their articles. Based on our experience in Spain and Germany with similar laws, we consider this to be ineffective. In addition, we see a danger for small publishers who, unlike large competitors, are disproportionately dependent on users coming via search engines.
Article 13 requires that any works uploaded by users of Internet platforms (texts, images, videos, etc.) may only be published if appropriate exploitation licences have been negotiated with the rights holders of the works. Like the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, we regard this as a danger to the freedom of art and speech [1]; thus platform operators such as YouTube and Facebook must introduce censoring upload filters in order to comply with the regulations in Article 13. However, these are generally associated with high error rates and cannot handle quotes and parodies.
As computer science students, we know which problems can be solved with the help of statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence – ultimately with the help of algorithms. In the case of Article 13, algorithms must decide whether the licences mentioned above have been negotiated. This is typically achieved by recognizing examples, i.e., the algorithm already knows a catalogue of works with a negotiated license agreement and recognizes whether the newly uploaded work corresponds to one of the previous ones. However, these algorithms can only ever find such a match with a certain degree of certainty, i.e. with a certain probability they make mistakes. This means that many legitimate publications would automatically be censored, although there is no reason to do so. Furthermore, the Commission promises that art and satire and the ability to quote will not be compromised by this reform. Even if an algorithm could make perfect licensing decisions (which is not foreseeable in the medium term), it would still have to be decided whether a new work should be used in the context of artistic freedom and not prematurely deleted.
In addition, we agree with the Federal Data Protection Commissioner that the implementation of Article 13 in practice will mean a further centralization of power and information with large Internet corporations, which in the future will also judge content that has not been uploaded to their platforms [2].
In view of the far-reaching consequences of the Copyright Directive, we call on the Members of the European Parliament to vote against this Directive on 28 March.
