Flanagan Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:07:42 +0000 http://www.ip-watch.org/weblog/?p=1387#comment-3118548 IP has always been a compromise between the free exchange of ideas, and the desire to compensate the ones who generate the ideas. Recently we have seen IP in the United States, especially, turned into a way for copyright holders to generate a perpetual income stream, with no consideration of the public good. That this is attracting opposition is surprising only to those so deeply entrenched in the new mindset that they can't think of it any other way.

Amazing Reversal on Patent and Copyright At World Intellectual Property Organization

WIPO “has fallen sway to anti-intellectual property trends,” Drew Clark reports, quoting Nancy Omelko, the IP attaché at the US mission in Geneva.

… (ordinary background on WIPO)

Reality check: This is all accurately reported, but Omelko is claiming “anti-intellectual property trends” for what other observers consider a only slightly less fervent promotion of U.S. support for very strong IP rules, especially on medicines for poor countries.
