WIPO Copyright Treaty in March of 2002 is good thing in general. It would discourage piracy in other countries. But we have to understand that this treaty is a double-edged sword. Companies like Microsoft already offer highly priced software and if they expect the poor nations to pay what is sometimes worth a year's salary, I don't think the treaty will be effective. It will at the very least make the offenders feel slightly guilty than before. Even though we are moving towards the copyright age, we are also closing the doors for innovation in a why by putting too much restriction on the community that they cannot follow Treaty easily.
