Canadian prof: Most countries ignoring U.S. copyright recs
If e-publishers want to build gobal business models around U.S. copyright law, they should beware. The rest of the world just isn’t as fond of the Hollywoodcentric approach as American solons would like to believe. Canadian professor Michael Geist has analyzed reaction to a new U.S. copyright report (via Slashdot discussion).
One little prob for Hollywood: What if a country is a net importer of intellectual property—as Canada is? All kinds of ramifications arise. To make other countries friendlier to Hollywood, is D.C. selling out other industries by way of free trade agreements?
