The ‘Copyfight’ Battle
“There will be no winners if we do not sort out copyright, argues columnist Bill Thompson. But let us not forget moral rights.
“Amidst all the ‘will they?, won’t they?’ excitement over whether European patent law should be updated, and whether the version currently on offer will allow US-style software patents, it would be easy to forget that another, bigger, battle continues around the world.
It is the ‘copyfight’ – the continuing dispute over what sort of legal protection creative people or the companies that employ them should have over the ways in which their works are used.”
