WE NEED YOU!
IPA Secretary General, José Borghino, spoke about Open Educational Resources (OERs) during a webinar organized to celebrate World Book and Copyright Day by the UNESCO OER Dynamic Coalition.
On March 11, the IPA Copyright Committee met online for the first time ever. We would like to thank our members for attending the meeting, it was a pleasure to see almost 60 people from 38 countries joining us at this session.
As previously reported to the IPA community, publishers and authors are closely watching a major law suit in the United States, in which member companies of the Association of American Publishers sued the Internet Archive (IA) for intentional and systematic copyright infringement.
The final day of this SCCR began with the Chair recognising a cloud of fatigue in the room and encouraging delegates to press on through the day to finish the week.
Day 4 of this 42nd meeting of the SCCR picked up exactly where Day 3 left off, with discussions on exceptions and limitations and observer organisations continuing their statements.
Day 3 of SCCR 42 opened with further discussion and analysis of the new text on the broadcasting treaty with the afternoon reserved for discussions on exceptions and limitations.
