Details

Voting deadline: March 2049

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.

    Random fact: "Game mechanics comes first." For example, if a currently-enforced bill sets out one law, then a player cannot claim the government has set out a contradictory law.
