Letter to WIPO on stolen EFF documents Cory Doctorow, Electronic Freedom Foundation,
November 18, 2004.

Cory is blogging the WIPO meetings in Geneva where negotiations over the Broadcasting Treaty, which has the power to lock up the public domain and break the web, are being held.

Let me try to convey to you the depth of the weirdness that arose when all the public-interest groups’ papers were stolen and trashed at WIPO. No one gets into the WIPO building without being accredited and checked over, so this was almost certainly someone who was working on the treaty — in other words, a political opponent (none of the documents promoting the Broadcast Treaty were touched).
