| | WIPO Diplomatic Conference: Updated Intellectual Property Laws for a Digital World |
| | The WIPO Copyright Treaty clarifies that copyright protection extends to expressions and not ideas, and that computer programs are protected as literary works, regardless of their mode or form of their expression. | | | However, the WIPO Copyright Treaty incorporates the substantive obligations of the Berne Convention. | | | The WIPO Copyright Treaty also raises the minimum duration of protection for photographic works, which is currently 25 years under the Berne Convention, to the duration of protection of other works under that convention (50 years). |

| | The Copyright Treaty governs the protection of literary and artistic works; its scope is the same as that of Article 2 of the Berne Convention, to which the Copyright Treaty refers. | | | The Copyright Treaty raises the minimum duration of protection of photographic works from 25 years after the author’s death (as presently provided in the Berne Convention) to 50 years (as is already applicable under the Berne Convention to all other works). | | | Article 7 of the Copyright Treaty separately establishes - as a minimum right - a Right of Rental for certain kinds of works: Authors of computer programs, cinematographic works and works embodied in phonograms have the exclusive right to authorize the commercial rental to the public of the originals or copies of their works. |

| | It is clear that the Canadian Copyright Act should be amended to prohibit the act of circumvention of TPM done for the purpose of infringing copyright. | | | For the opponents to extending copyright term protection, the beneficiaries of such extensions are not the artists or creators themselves but rather corporations who by the time the copyright term expires are in fact the copyright owners on most of the works which would otherwise have fallen in the public domain. | | | Similarly, copyright payments for works created more than 50 years ago could be shared between the copyright owners and the general public in a way that preserves the commercial value of the copyrighted works. |

| | Before a country can ratify either of these WIPO treaties, their own copyright laws must already be in compliance with the provisions in either treaty. | | | Amending copyright laws as you know can take many years and especially when countries are amending them in relation to a "non-static" things such as digital media and the Internet, there is probably even greater work both substantively and politically in amending the laws. | | | Re libraries and schools, the ongoing debate of the balance between copyright owners and users once again arises -- when should owners have complete control over their works...and when should laws override this control by allowing certain free uses for instance for educational purposes. |
