CPSR Opposes WIPO Broadcast Treaty Proposal
CPSR Signs Consumer Project on Technology Letter to Congress Opposing WIPO Broadcast Treaty Proposal and requesting formal comments.
On October 13, CPSR was one of 17 civil society non-government
organizations, 7 law professors, and 31 musicians and technology
experts to send a letter to leaders of the US Senate and House of
Representatives expressing opposition to proposals at
the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
to create a new intellectual property right for broadcasting and
webcasting organizations. The letter asked Congress to insist
that the Bush Administration accept formal comments from the public
before a decision is reached on whether or not to hold a
diplomatic conference that would create a new global treaty at WIPO.Read Letter to Congress
