[A2k] COL Copyright Audit

[lists]

Thanks for this Achal, excellent resource.

I would have added one further question, whether contract overrides copyright
- eg. disallowing reverse engineering &/or fair use exceptions...

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The Commonwealth of Learning
(COL) has put out an audit report for copyright law, prepared in December 2006
by Tobias Schonwetter of the University of Cape Town and I, which may be of
interest/use to some:

http://www.col.org/colweb/webdav/site/myjahiasite/shared/docs/COLCopyrightAu
dit.pdf

The document was designed for policymakers as a concise intro to copyright,
a2k and learning - through a set of about 50 short questions. COL is in the
process of sending this out to Commonwealth member states, and if you would
like more information on the exercise, please contact Paul West, pwest -at-
col.org

Cheers.
