Description[?]:
"Information Policy for Copyright Nations/IPCN" to replace the IIP as are stance on the international copyright issue****** 1 - Malivia recognises that having an information commons makes it so that the labour of their citizens could be copyrighted by other greedy persons in non-IPT nations that recognise copyrights. 2 - Seeing the impracticality of obtaining a copyright for a citizens works in every non-IPT nation that has copyrights, we need to think of a new legal passage. 3 - In addition, we realize obtaining a copyright is against the spirit of having a Commons. 4 - We realize that some nations do not allow persons to copyright/patent works by citizens/residents of another country. 5 - Should a non-IPT nation allow their residents to obtain copyrights on residents of a Commons Nation, we will have no choice but to completely disregard their copyrights/patents and seek other redress is necessary. 6 - Should a nation not allow their residents to obtain copyrights on residents of a Commons Nation, we will encourage them to join the IPT so that thier work can be protected. 7 - The Malivian government, in an effort to promote international unity, does not encourage the unfair use of other nations' information despite its necessary legality, unless they have violated clause 5. |
