WIPO General Assembly 2021: KEI statement on the Report on the SCCR keionline.org/36723 #WIPOGA

@KEI_DC @Manon_Ress @jamie_love @dswyber @creativecommons @IFLA "KEI opposes any further work on a broadcast treaty, given confusion over objectives of the treaty, and proposals to provide effective perpetual rights to broadcasters for content that they do not create, own or license." @doctorow

@KEI_DC @Manon_Ress @jamie_love @dswyber @creativecommons @IFLA @doctorow "The report of the SCCR to the WIPO General Assembly omits any reference to the Friends of the Chair process in relation to the broadcasting treaty; we urge the Secretariat to provide transparency on this process."

@KEI_DC @Manon_Ress @jamie_love @dswyber @creativecommons @IFLA @doctorow "On limitations and exceptions, norm-setting for archives and preservation is an achievable objective in the near term. This is an area where harmonization is less challenging, global and social issues are important, and conflicts with right owners are not significant."

@KEI_DC @Manon_Ress @jamie_love @dswyber @creativecommons @IFLA @doctorow "As regards education and other exceptions, KEI asks the SCCR to review the exceptions in the 1976 Tunis model law for copyright, as well as the modalities that were used for the development of the model law."

@KEI_DC @Manon_Ress @jamie_love @dswyber @creativecommons @IFLA @doctorow "KEI supports work at the SCCR on an artist’s resale right for physical works of art, but this treaty should not extend copies of works."
