Iraq=92s copyright law*

    Jamie Knox sent along Iraq=92s newly amended copyright law (as if THIS
    was where we needed to worry about rule of law in Iraq). I=92ve just
    begun going through it
    <http://www.cpa-iraq.org/regulations/20040501_CPAORD_83_Amendment_to_th=
e_Copyright_Law.pdf>,
    but there are favorite tidbits so far: collections of data can be
    protected; readings of the Koran are protected; and collections of
    government documents can be protected. But significantly, the term
    is life plus 50! More disharmony=85
