Thought you'd find this characterization from IPI's IP Blog amusing:


 Intellectual Property
 Rights (IPRs) and Human
 Rights

 This week, the U.S.
 economy is being put at
 risk at the biennial
 (that means every two
 years) General Assembly
 meeting of the World
 Intellectual Property
 Organization (WIPO).

 WIPO is the venue, not
 the problem. The problem
 is a cabal of
 anti-capitalist,
 anti-corporate,
 neoMarxist activists who
 are attempting to use
 international
 organizations such as
 WIPO to force harmful
 policies on the nations
 of the world.

 Because we recognize
 that intellectual
 property (IP) is a key
 driver of economic
 growth, IPI has made IP
 a policy priority. IPI
 will be at the WIPO
 General Assembly
 meeting, and we'll be
 reporting on
 developments through our
 popular blog on
 intellectual property,
 IPBlog.org. And we'll
 also be releasing the
 following new IPI Ideas
 in Geneva:
