WIPO Broadcasting

May 5, 2006 12:58 AM - comments (4)

James Love has an interesting article on the treaty on broadcasting and webcasting rights now under discussion at the WIPO, and completely ignored by nearly everyone.

Broadcasters have long wanted yet another form of intellectual property to, yes, provide more incentives to invest in the broadcasting of content. Love suggests that a collection of web firms, like yahoo, are lobbying for a web equivalent -- a webcasting right as well.

In the meantime, I'd like a property right that gives me more inventives to wake up in the morning and floss my teeth.

I had the same reaction as Alan. I have heard SA compared to the GPL before, and I thought that was a point in CC's favor. Virality is a good thing. If the SA provision doesn't provide this, then freedom-minded creators may avoid CC altogether.
