MY  criticism of WIPO is that it is really a multinational cartel
whose major  purpose is to create monopolies for the publishers,
yet it is disguised as  part of the United Nations.

To those familiar with the anti-circumvention legislation - the WIPO  
archives will reveal the post-Napster representations by the RIAA which preceded  the 
wave of legislation in the EU.
