Copyright is not a bad thing, it just needs renegotiating

CI’s new short film, When Copyright Goes Bad, is about the renegotiation of copyright.

Production underway on CI Access to Knowledge film

As part of CI’s A2K programme we are producing a short film to look at the ways in which strict copyright laws are affecting consumer rights around the world.

The film will examine the extent to which some companies are demonising consumer behaviour as they seek to hold on to and expand outdated copyright laws. It will look at arguments around the need for a renegotiation of intellectual property laws in the digital age and the roles businesses, governments and consumers are playing in this rapidly changing environment.

Welcome to the A2Knetwork

Hello, and welcome to CI's new Access to Knowledge online portal - A2Knetwork.org. Building on the extensive expertise CI has developed in this area, this new initiative brings together those interested in the relationship between consumer rights and intellectual property.
