DERECHOS DE AUTOR Y BIEN PÚBLICO EN MEDIOS DIGITALES DEL ECUADOR

COPYRIGHT AND GOOD PUBLIC RIGHTS IN DIGITAL MEDIA OF ECUADOR

ABSTRACT:

This research will explore the current issues and dynamics in the management of copyright of digital media as it relates to the public good in Ecuador. Digital publications will be studied and compared to print publications to assess the effect of copyright on the public welfare of Ecuador; Canada will also be surveyed for purposes of comparison. Theories and frameworks for understanding management of digital copyright will be delineated.

 

Ecuador’s Organic Law of Communication, adopted in 2013, will be explained as it relates to digital copyright. The impact of this law and of subsequent regulations will be studied by analyzing qualitative content of publications after the implementation of this law. Other methodology will include field interviews of digital journalists and government regulators, and comparison and contrast between traditional and digital media of Ecuador. Use of sanctions to regulate digital copyright will also be studied.

 

Finally, interviews will focus on the experiences of journalists and managers of digital content as those experiences relate to the effect of copyright on the generation, production, and publication of digital content at a national level.

ENTRE DOS MUNDOS, PERSONAS SORDAS EN EL ECUADOR

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, HEARING-IMPAIRED PEOPLE IN ECUADOR

ABSTRACT:

A total of 33,067 people with disabilities are included in the national education system throughout Ecuador. Guayas leads the provinces with 6,658 students and Pichincha is next with 5,057 students, according to data from the Ministry of Education.

Vinicio Baquero, President of FENASEC (National Federation of the hearing-impaired of Ecuador), states that in Ecuador few hearing-impaired have access to the university, because most deaf people only have a basic education.

The lack of sign-language interpreters is evident in the universities of Ecuador. According to data from the National Council for the Equality of Disabilities (CONADIS), 85% of people with disabilities have little to no education, and only 15% have completed secondary education. 

The current objective of FENASEC (National Federation of the hearing-impaired of the Ecuador) is the education and recognition of sign language as an official language of hearing-impaired at a constitutional level, as well as fair pay for sign-language interpreters, who too often work currently as volunteers. The sign- language interpreter is a professional who must be paid for their services to meet the needs of the hearing-impaired, according to the President of FENASEC, Vinicio Baquero.

In Ecuador there are 1,653,000 people with disabilities. The right of these people to health, education, and work is affirmed in the constitution of the Republic. Ecuador’s Organic Law of Disability, article 47, requires the public or private employer with a minimum of 25 workers to hire a minimum of 4% of professionals with disabilities. This figure has been gradually increasing.

In 2008 the percentage of professionals with disabilities was 1%; in 2008, it was 2%; in 2009 it was 3%, and the most current figure is 4%.

Edgar Viera, 33, is an interpreter for the Community Association of hearing-impaired in Guayaquil. Viera states that deaf people can perform well in any professional field. His work allows him to observe their many capacities.
