The IPKat brings you the chance to impress your friend and relations by deploying the latest linguistic trends. Why not drop the word 'paracopyright' nonchalantly into your next conversation? "But what does it mean?" the IPKat hears you cry. Well, according to Wordspy, it is "A set of non-traditional copyright-related principles, practices, and laws that exist alongside and attempt to extend traditional copyright protection" such as anticircumvention protection.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
