a study that explains why the copyright system is broken and must be radically reformed.
"Copyright, originally conceived as a tool to protect the author and to provide incentives for him or her to create for the benefit of society, is nowadays more and more perceived as an instrument to the advantage of 'large, impersonal and unlovable corporations'. ... Copyright is increasingly perceived as a right to sanction and punish that prevents the free flow of information and access to knowledge or cultural participation, not as a right that has positive effects for the development of society." (p 85)
Professor Drahos: "So farmers, librarians, educators, cultural innovators, young people who want to culturally innovate, who want to parody for example a trade mark and suddenly find themselves threatened become theyre making fun of somebody. I mean there are so many people that have an interest in this. We live in a networked world. I see more and more networking amongst NGOs. I think there is a growing sense in which we have to realize we are not alone. That we can fight back."

“Generally speaking, Switzerland broadly provides high-levels of IPR protection and enforcement in its territory. Switzerland makes important contributions to promoting such protection and enforcement internationally, including in bilateral and multilateral contexts, which are welcomed by the United States,” the USTR writes in its assessment.
expertkonferens i maj i Frankrike följde upp FNs Farida Shahids FN-rapport. Bl a slogs fast att copyright inte är en mänsklig rättighet
A recent report entitled “copyright policy and the right to science and culture,” presented at the 28th session of the Human Right Council in March 2015 by UN Special Rapporteur Farida Shaheed shed some light on this debate, however. Her report then attracted attention in the European arena in the context of the ongoing copyright reform. In this context, an international group of experts recently commented on it at the University of Strasbourg Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI).
In the report, the right to science and culture refers to Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
In addition, “the human right to protection of authorship requires that copyright policy … ensure that authors benefit materially,” said the report. On this ground, the experts rejected the assumption that stronger copyright protection advances the authors’ material interests and drew an important distinction between human authors and corporate rights holders.
European Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmström has made a bad choice in appointing Jan Eric Frydman as Special Adviser on EU-US Trade Policy. Frydman, whose ongoing work for Swedish law firm Ekenberg & Andersson creates potential conflicts of interest, has a strong pro-ISDS background and a tricky revolving door history. He's part of the problem, not the solution.
Farida Shaheed presented her report on copyright policy and the right to science and culture on 11 March, at the 28th session of the Human Rights Council, taking place in Geneva from 2-27 March.
She stressed the fact that one of the key points of her report is that intellectual property rights are not human rights. “This equation is false and misleading,” she said.
The report also suggests that authors must be distinguished from copyright holders, she said, adding, “We should always keep in mind that copyright regimes may under-protect authors because producers/publishers/distributors and other ‘subsequent right-holders’ typically exercise more influence over law-making.”

Balzac milite aussi pour le respect des écrivains. Dans sa « lettre aux écrivains du xixe siècle », il les exhorte à régner sur l’Europe par la pensée plutôt que par les armes, en leur rappelant que le fruit de leurs écrits rapporte des sommes énormes dont ils ne bénéficient pas. « La loi protège la terre ; elle protège la maison du prolétaire qui a sué ; elle confisque l'ouvrage du poète qui a pensé (…)64. » Il sera finalement entendu. En 1838, avec notamment Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Frédéric Soulié et George Sand, il fonde la Société des gens de lettres (actuellement sise en l’hôtel de Massa, rue Saint-Jacques à Paris), association d’auteurs destinée à défendre le droit moral, les intérêts patrimoniaux et juridiques des auteurs de l’écrit65. Il en deviendra le président en 1839. Son action, raillée par Sainte-Beuve qui ridiculisait « ce compagnonnage ouvrier et ces maréchaux de France de la littérature qui offrent à l’exploitation une certaine surface commerciale66. », aura dans le futur un soutien important : Émile Zola, qui poursuivra la tâche

Men en forutsetning for topp kvalitet helseinformasjon for alle handler om organisering; om prisvinnerens gjennombrudd i forhandlingene om nasjonale lisenser.

Vijay Prasad: " countries like Brazil, India, China, these countries are fighting to bring their own brands to market, to bring their own designs to market, and they are being held back by a global or international intellectual property regime that prevents many of them from pushing their brands forward. I mean, one of the real tricks in the 1980s that they are most upset by was the shift in intellectual property from where you copyright not the process by which you get to, say, a sneaker but the actual sneaker itself. "
1. The term of copyright protection should be reduced. 2. Any change to the scope of copyright protection (including any new definition of protectable subject-matter or expansion of exclusive rights) needs to take into account. 3. When material is deemed to fall in the structural Public Domain in its country of origin, the material should be recognized as part of the structural Public Domain in all other countries of the world. 4. Any false or misleading attempt to misappropriate Public Domain material must be legally punished. 5. No other intellectual property right must be used to reconstitute exclusivity over Public Domain material. 6. There must be a practical and effective path to make available 'orphan works' and published works that are no longer commercially available (such as out-of-print works) for re-use by society. 7. Cultural heritage institutions should take upon themselves a special role in the effective labeling and preserving of Public Domain works. 8. There must be no legal obstacles that prevent the voluntary sharing of works or the dedication of works to the Public Domain. 9. Personal non-commercial uses of protected works must generally be made possible, for which alternative modes of remuneration for the author must be explored.
In sum the draft confirms the will to impose greater regulatory "convergence" and "harmonization" of future regulations between the EU and the US in the only interest of transnational corporations and the financial industry. The vagueness of the draft would allow the Commission great freedom to achieve this. Social, labour and environmental rights in both sides of the Atlantic are under fire.

EurActiv 10 janvier 2014 Lors d'un débat au Sénat, l'ensemble des partis a émis de vives critiques à l'encontre du Partenariat Transatlantique en négociation avec les Etats-Unis. La ministre en charge du Commerce extérieure, Nicole Bricq, le souligne non sans dépit. C'est surtout en France que l'on constate une mobilisation sur ce que les français appellent le « traité » transatlantique. Chevènement: "On ne peut pas parler de libre-échange lors les parités passent de 1 à 2 entre l'euro et le dollar en l'espace d'une décennie seulement " Marie-Noëlle Lienemann, sénatrice PS: "« Je suis très hostile à ce traité » a d’emblée prévenu l’ex-député européenne. « Force est de constater que la mondialisation heureuse n'a pas eu lieu !
