Global Copyright Reform: A View From The South In Response To Lessig; Intellectual Property Watch, 11/12/10

Ahmed Abdel Latif, Intellectual Property Watch; Global Copyright Reform: A View From The South In Response To Lessig:

"Global copyright reform is badly needed. It is ultimately up to WIPO member states to decide how to go about it. For the moment, hopes for ‘reform’ are embodied by the above mentioned proposals made by developing countries and they should be actively supported. Any future reform process of the global copyright system needs careful thinking and broad discussion about its objectives. Given that global copyright rules have acquired such a pervasive impact in many facets of our lives, their reform needs to take place through an open, inclusive and participatory consultation process where ‘all of us’ have a say."
