Copyright and Access to Knowledge: Policy Recommendations on Flexibilities in Copyright Laws

The main outcome of CI's work on Access to Knowledge - Copyright as a Barrier to Accessing Books, Journals and Teaching Material was a 65-page report on Copyright and Access to Knowledge: Policy Recommendations on Flexibilities in Copyright Laws.

The Copyright and Access to Knowledge report examines copyright law in 11 Asian countries. It finds that all 11 countries, including China, India and Malaysia, have given copyright owners far more protection than the intellectual property treaties they have signed up to require. A free copy of the report is available for download in PDF format (1.75Mb).
