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.

Kindle 2 vs Reading Disabled Students
,----[ Quote ]
| The Author’s Guild seeks not only to prevent further cultural participation
| by reading-disabled people, but also to deny them the benefits of scientific
| advancement by blocking an existing technology from performing its intended
| role—and doing all this while demanding remuneration for a capability they
| themselves have done nothing to promote. If this is how the Author’s Guild
| wishes to treat those with reading disabilities—as freeloaders attempting to
| abuse the “added value” of TTS—then I fear for the future of equal access.
