What are the goals of this campaign? Copyright Awareness ought to promote an understanding of the value and limits regarding protection and ownership with regard intellectual property. A "happy mÃddle ground" would give proper weight to the notion of a limited time frame, and fair-use, as well as the right to license intellectual property under other terms (GPL, CopyLeft)... As we know, copyright in the US was originally intended for a shorter time-frame than the current law permits, after which intellectual property might enter public domain.
Hope you include the broader issues in your campaign. -MM -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mohamed Hegazy Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 6:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DDN] Copyright Awareness Campaign Dear All We are NGO in Egypt, we are looking to start Awareness Campaign about copyright (software protection exactly) and we hope to find any support or fund to start a smart and effective campaign. any Ideas, tools, mechanisms or grant for this if possible.
