Bill C-61 and WIPO

Jim Prentice and other C-61 proponents talk about the WIPO treaty but read article 11 of WIPO and you will see that it is the opposite of what bill C-61 does with regard to digital locks. WIPO says locks have right within the copyright rights. C-61 allows rights outside of copyright and this hurts fair use and normally legal use.

...Yep, there typos.

From WIPO's web site: "What is WIPO?

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible international intellectual property (IP) system, which rewards creativity, stimulates innovation and contributes to economic development while safeguarding the public interest."

Unless votes are proportional to member country's population there is no fairness or balance.

a good aspect. I myself

favor the forced evolution of property from rights to interest, myself

but I'm already way too abstract for most to grasp.

hopefully, it's all moot now.

oct 14th is fine by me, right?
