What’s with downloading and sharing files? Why do people still defend pirates? In fact, what is copyright? And, prison for software developers?
These questions, and others, will be tackled FACIL’s meeting on downloading, copyright and the recent infamous DADVSI French law (copyright and “neighboring law” in the information society) on August 11.
Under discussion will be this new law, “with retrograde deja-vu which is at the heart of debates that have caused uprise since December 2005 in France, both from the National Assembly and from the general public,” p2pnet is told.
Considering that the Canadian federal government is discretely preparing new law having similar side effects, in line with the World “Intellectual Property” Organization (WIPO) 1996 treaty, it’s important to be up to date about the traps to avoid and the small print of juridical texts, says FACIL.
