from today's digest:
EU Greens /EFA Position Paper on "Creation and Copyright."
By Mike Palmedo, Infojustice, October 9, 2011.

"A new EU Greens/ European Free Alliance position paper starts from the premise that copyright should guard against unauthorized commercial use, but individuals should be able to copy and share works as long as the author is cited."
If only it was as simple as that. This sounds like another vain hope for "bright lines" ( a favorite term I define as happy thought with sinister undertones ) that will be arbitrated into a pulp over time.
No, pessimist, it's going to solidify the pillars of fair use and give new weight to good faith behavior.
How much do international law decisions affect the US in any case? We haven't even joined the international court, have we.
