What are the basic nuts and bolts (and traps and dead ends) of copyright law? Who owns copyright (hint: it is usually not the author)? What rights do users have? Do international copyright conventions work in the interest of the peoples of the world, and, if not, why not? These are a few of the questions that are taken up and answered in "An alternative primer on national and international copyright law in the global South: eighteen questions and answers". It has been written by Alan Story and was published in September 2009 by the CopySouth Research Group. The intended audience: librarians, musicians, downloaders and book readers, information activists, students, and others who want to know how the copyright system actually works in practice in your country in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. In 68 pages of straightforward and non-legalistic writing, this primer tries to unpack and explain a number of both simple and complicated concepts.You will NOT find it on the list of texts recommended by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).... but your comments and criticisms are welcome on the website below. The Primer can be downloaded at: http://copysouth.org/portal/copyright-primer A Spanish and Portuguese translation of the Primer will be completed and available in the next six months. Alan Story teaches intellectual property law at Kent Law School in the United Kingdom. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz COMUNICADO DE PRENSA DEL GRUPO DE INVESTIGACIÓN COPYSOUTH - OCTUBRE DE 2009. ¿Cuáles son las tuercas y los tornillos (y las trampas y callejones sin salida) en la base de la ley de derecho de autor? ¿Quién posee los derechos de autor (pista: no es generalmente el autor)? ¿Qué derechos tienen los usuarios? Los tratados internacionales de derecho de autor funcionan en interés de las personas del mundo, y, si no, ¿por qué no? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que se hacen y responden en "Un manual alternativo de leyes nacionales e internacionales de derecho de autor en el Sur global: dieciocho preguntas y respuestas". Fue escrito por Alan Story, y se publicó en septiembre de 2009 por el Grupo de Investigación CopySouth. El público objetivo: los bibliotecarios, músicos, quienes descargan de Internet, lectores, activistas de la información, estudiantes y otras personas que quieren saber cómo funciona el sistema de derechos de autor en la práctica en su país en América Latina, África y Asia. En 68 páginas de texto directo y no legalista, este manual trata de desempaquetar y explicar una serie de conceptos tanto simples como complicados. No lo encontrará en la lista de textos recomendados por la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (OMPI)... pero sus comentarios y críticas son bienvenidos en la página web que se anuncia más abajo. El Manual puede descargarse en: http://copysouth.org/portal/copyright-primer La traducción al español y portugués del Manual estará disponible en los próximos seis meses. Alan Story es profesor de derecho de propiedad intelectual en la facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Kent, en el Reino Unido. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ regards ramesh On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 1:36 PM, Patricia Schlicht <[email protected]> wrote: Wow, Maud this is wonderful news.
