We do get quite worked up about a conference even before it has commenced -which can bode only well for the upcoming event.<br /><br />As an AmeriKat, I am very keen to ensure that both sides of the argument are given equal meaning; weight given not only to the proprietors of copyright but the users of copyright. I am sure our learned judges - both official in judicial form and administrative, in IPKat form will ensure the same. <br /><br />I can't wait! :)Annsley Merelle Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184706067469338128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-23944617506881475382011-06-10T20:02:45.322+01:002011-06-10T20:02:45.322+01:00And to answer your question fo Selected by whom? -...And to answer your question fo Selected by whom? - the Obvious answer is "self-selected" - which I am sure you will agree will most assuredly <b>not</b> meet the criteria I just posted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-81489455195972703032011-06-10T19:56:29.992+01:002011-06-10T19:56:29.992+01:00Jeremy,
