Copyright Under a Magnifying Glass: Thought Provoking Ideas

A report from a workshop co-organised by the Internet Society (Christine Runnegar) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (Victor Vazquez) at the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) on 29 September 2011 at Nairobi, Kenya.

INTRODUCTION

Considerable efforts are being undertaken across the world to develop new transborder solutions to online copyright infringement. Countries, regional and international organisations are also reviewing legal frameworks to assess whether they need to be updated in light of technological developments in content distribution (e.g. the Internet) and the general trend towards globalisation. Examples include: ACTA, the EC review of Directive 2004/48/EC, the PROTECT IP bill, work being undertaken by WIPO, OECD and others on Internet intermediaries.

Our objective for this workshop was to facilitate a robust multi-perspective discussion and generate thought provoking ideas regarding:

  • Opportunities for the creation, distribution and monetisation of digital content
  • New challenges for the protection of copyright
  • Deriving value from digital content (old and new models)
  • Perspectives on future content delivery
  • Opportunities for improving licensing systems
  • Challenges (including technical) to detecting infringement and identifying infringers
  • Deep Packet Inspection and other means for detection
  • International policy work on Internet intermediaries (OECD and WIPO)
  • Internet intermediaries and the protection of copyright
  • Technical enforcement measures
  • Complications copyright enforcement can create for public access intermediaries
  • Challenges in balancing copyright with other rights enjoyable in the Internet environment, such as free expression, access to information, education and culture
  • Potential solutions
