[ipr] out now: The Copy/South Dossier
THE COPY/SOUTH DOSSIER
<<0000,0000,EEEEwww.copysouth.org>
Issues in the economics, politics, and
ideology of copyright in the global South
Researched and published by the Copy/South
Research Group May 2006
ISBN: 978-0-9553140-1-8 (printed edition) Not
restricted by copyright
We are told that we live in the ‘digital revolution’ era and that we
can communicate across the globe as we never could before. In fact,
restrictive copyright laws still act as a serious
barrier to sharing and learning from
each other. This is particularly true in countries of the
South where three quarters of the population live.
To read more, get a copy of the 208-page Copy/South
Dossier produced in May 2006 by the Copy South
Research Group after more than 18 months of research.
Available at no charge, this unique dossier contains more than
50 articles examining many dimensions of the issue across
the global South, such as access, culture, economics, libraries,
education, software, the Internet, the public domain, and resistance.
It is available at no charge.
You can get the dossier in two ways: either download it
<<0000,0000,EEEEwww.copysouth.org> or
send us an e-mail
