HI-TECH COPYRIGHT ROUNDUP


The IPKat brings you hi-tech copyright news!

*The People’s Daily reports that China is bringing into force Administrative Measures for Internet Copyright Protection on 30 May. The measures are being jointly issued by the National Copyright Administration and the Ministry of Information Industry.

*The Local reports that Sweden’s Justice Minister, Thomas Bodström, has called for the Swedish Government to proceed with caution in passing new DRM laws. He has said that consumers must be able to make copies of CDs that they have bought for private use, and what’s more, the IFPI have agreed with him. The Swedish Parliament is due to vote on passing new laws in this area on 25 May.


The IPKat is in favour of legislation that protects the legitimate rights of IP holders but that is subtle enough to not penalise those who have fair reasons for making use of the protected subject matter.

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.
