As part of CI’s A2Kⁱ programme we are producing a short film to look at the ways in which strict copyrightⁱ 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will examine the extent to which some companies are demonising consumer behaviour as they seek to hold on to and expand outdated copyright laws.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.

Hello, and welcome to CIⁱ'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.
