[governance] WIPO director general on future of copyright in a digital arena

[Marilia Maciel]

It is a very interesting text. WIPO tries to modernize its discourse but
dangerous policies end up being supported by it. The paragraph about
internet intermediaries is illustrative.



In addition, the discourse of the bureaucracy is not necessarily the
dominant path of action that the organization will follow. It all depends on
the correlation of interests among members of the organization, and right
now the discussions (particularly regarding copyright) are far from
reflecting a balance of interests. The blocking on the discussions about a
treaty that would allow the adaptation of works for the blind and the
cross-border flow of these works is a clear example.



About that, the interview with former member of the European Parliament,
David Hammerstein, is worth reading: http://www.keionline.org/node/1087
