Why Does Intellectual Property Need Protection
posted in Uncategorized |
International Intellectual Property Alliance (IPA) has announced the annual report to USA government in which they disclose the intelligence property protection inadequacy in the whole world.
This report usually becomes the base of the law implying some sort of economic sanctions against the countries which intellectual property protection policy differs from that of the USA.
The report rendered a great interest in the mass media.
As a professor of the internet law reports the most noticeable fact is that while the report criticizes the policy in other countries American lobby has shown that the USA laws providing the protection of the literary property are isolated and stand far from these of the rest world.
The agenda which has caused the most vigorous disputes was the intellectual property protection in the Internet.
Double Standards
American model of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) agreement implementation seems to be the most aggressive one in the world. This model set the most stringent DRM system neutralization frames even if it is used legally. Probably this very fact provokes other countries to find their own models. These researches arouse IPA inevitable disapproval of such countries as Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Mexico and India which do follow or intend to follow their own implementation legislative model in the field of intellectual property security soft and hard ware.
The countries which didn’t ratify the WIPO treaty underwent IPA critics as well (and these countries compose the greater part of the world).
Sometimes IPA is dissatisfied even with the model which is similar to the American one. For example Israel is going to legalize so called “fair use” which does not necessarily require any special allowance to use literate property in case of reviews and analyses as a counter to American legislation. IPA is afraid that people will take “fair use” for the allowance to use intellectual property without any restrictions.
The most violent are the critics of obliged licensing. They claim especially the developing countries such as Nigeria, Vietnam, Kuwait, the Lebanon to give up the necessary licensing in the field of television and radio broadcasting and printing business.
A Long List
The fact that the first licenses for cabal plant and satellite system transactions, for sound records production and distribution and for the usage of particular works in non-profitable aims should be taken into consideration.
Canada, Brasilia and South Korea didn’t escape being criticized for such legislative thaws as using intellectual property in educational purposes.
