[SOURCE: Center for Democracy & Technology]
CDT and a diverse group of companies, trade associations and public interest organizations issued a joint statement raising serious concerns with a proposed World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) broadcast treaty. The coalition outlined key problems posed by the treaty, which would grant broad, intellectual-property-like rights to broadcasters and cable-casters. Members of the coalition delivered the statement to the U.S. Government officials involved in the treaty negotiations, as well as to delegations from other WIPO countries.
