Don't Make Copyright Law in Smoke-Filled Rooms

Amid the ongoing Copyright Week, a coalition of creators, businesses, and legal experts are stepping forward to emphasize the importance of protecting intellectual property rights. This series of discussions and actions advocates for a copyright policy that ensures innovation, economic growth, and the safeguarding of individuals' and companies' creations from being undermined by increasingly aggressive public domain overreach.

As part of Copyright Week, activists and public interest groups unite to challenge the overpowering grip of corporate lobbyists on copyright policy. This week-long event shines a light on the essential principles that should underpin a fair copyright law, advocating for the protection of free speech, public domain enrichment, and the democratization of culture and knowledge against the backdrop of profit-driven agendas.
