"The UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Farida
Shaheed, has just delivered a less-than-complimentary report on
copyright to the UN's Human Rights Council. Shaheed's report actually
examines where copyright meshes with arts and science — the two areas
it's supposed to support — and finds it runs contrary to the rosy image
of incentivized creation perpetuated by the MPAAs and RIAAs of the world."
Strong copyright can harm culture more than it helps.
