[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: Re: NEWS RELEASE: Internet Society and its New York Chapter to Host Open Forum Discussion on the New Copyright Alert System

[Norbert Klein]

Just to let you know that I got the following response to what I wrote:

LinkedIn Groups: Group: Internet Society
Discussion: INET New York: An Open Forum on the Copyright Alert System

Norbert - excellent article; as a librarian myself, didn't want to 'blow 
our own trumpet' too much, but you are absolutely right - IFLA and other 
library organisations have done much work on 'user rights' and the 
current imbalance in national & international copyright legislation. 
ISOC Chapters could gain much from working more closely with librarian 
activists...

The Internet is for Everyone - so "user rights" have to get more 
attention than the interests of some big economic entities.

I would appreciate to see some discussion among chapters on this issue, 
just as Mark Perkins suggests - in some countries, the strict 
enforcement of copyright legislation (at a price level of economically 
strongly developed countries) is a serious social issue, among others 
with negative effects on education.

The Internet Society, in collaboration with its New York Chapter, will host a half-day discussion forum on November 15, which will address the Center for Copyright Information's (CCI) new Copyright Alert System (CAS). The INET New York, held at the New York Law School, will feature two panel discussions and will conclude with a wrap-up multi-stakeholder session. The event will seek to provide information and exchange ideas regarding the operation of CAS, its strengths, weaknesses, and the challenges that lie ahead.
Thanks for the initiative - please accept some comments for 
consideration - published on our Chapter website -
