UK government or IFPI - whose figures are dodgy?
,----[ Quote ]
| According to an article in The Guardian. a recent UK government research
| report on downloading and copyright enforcement contained some 'dodgy
| figures'. Interestingly, the report claims far heavier 'losses' from
| downloading than the music industry's own figures. And some quietly
| released figures from the BPI show digital music sales going up, and only a
| small recessionary downturn in overall revenue.

The Conference Board Of Canada Recalls Three IP Reports; Admits Plagiarism
,----[ Quote ]
| Separately, the CEO of The Conference Board of Canada has supposedly admitted
| the report was plagiarized. Kudos to Michael Geist for his relentless
| following of this story, and making sure it got the attention it deserved...
| and kudos to The Conference Board of Canada for actually backing down
| (despite first defending the credibility of the report) once it realized how
| problematic it was.

USA, Canada and the EU attempt to kill treaty to protect blind people's access
to written material
,----[ Quote ]
| Right now, in Geneva, at the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization,
| history is being made. For the first time in WIPO history, the body that
| creates the world's copyright treaties is attempting to write a copyright
| treaty dedicated to protecting the interests of copyright users, not just
| copyright owners.
