WIPO and Broadcast Flag
The Importance of…: The Broadcast Flag Treaty - Draft Available
Ernest Miller’s April posting on his Corante blog
“The Importance of…” covers the World Intellectual Property Organization’s draft Treaty for the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations and the “broadcast flag” provisions. Lots of links to background, commments, and full text of relevant provisions. This would give broadcasters more legal rights than copyright ever did. A “really a nasty bit of work.”
