[A2k] Copyright Watch: an online resource

[Teresa Hackett (eIFL)]

Copyright Watch: an online resource

Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL.net) and the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF) are pleased to be the founding partners for
"Copyright Watch: an online resource", a collaborative effort to build a
central, publicly accessible, online collection of national copyright
laws and related documents.

There is no single resource that is current or comprehensive, and
locating up-to-date laws can be time consuming. A single portal
providing public access to an indexed repository of current and draft
laws, as well as amendments, will be a valuable new tool for anyone
engaged in copyright and information policy analysis. The work will
focus initially on gathering, uploading and indexing the laws. The
online space will be sustained by a network of global partners and
contributors.
