Submission + - U.S. Lobby Groups Criticize the World on Copyright
An anonymous reader writes: The International Intellectual Property
Alliance — a group that brings together several U.S. lobby groups
including the MPAA, RIAA, BSA, the ESA, and publisher groups, has just
released its Section
301 recommendations, criticizing 60 countries for their copyright
laws. While the report leads to dire
media coverage, Michael Geist has just debunked the
lobby campaign demonstrating how "the U.S. approach is quite
clearly one of 'do what I say, not what I
do' (fair use is good for the U.S., but no one else), criticizing
country
after country for not enacting a DMCA, and blasting national attempts
to improve education or
culture though exceptions or funding programs."
