NCUC letter for SOPA/PIPA

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

Dear all,

As you all know by now there is a great discussion taking place regarding the recent US legislative approaches regarding PIPA/SOPA. At yesterday's policy call, some members of NCUC suggested it would be great if NCUC were to join all the bodies -  international organizations and institutions, individuals, civil society and academics – against these horrible copyright protection.

Both Bills are meant to go for mark-up tomorrow, so there was no time for the letter to be put before the whole list. The letter – attached -  has been drafted and ratified by both the NCUC EC and PC and was just sent; it reiterates the arguments already submitted and presented.

Thanks

KK
