Hi CC Europe:
At the CC Summit in Toronto there was a discussion amongst some of the latin american affiliates about drafting an analysis of the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement, especially in relation to how that trade agreement would affect creative commons licenses, the public domain, and limitations and exceptions to copyright, especially from the perspective of the Mercosur countries.
We have been working on a draft which you can see here:
When it is complete, we plan to publish it on the creative commons website as a policy analysis paper, similar to what we did with regard to the TPP in 2015 (see https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/policy-advocacy-copyright-reform/stop-the-tpp/trans-pacific-partnership-would-harm-user-rights-and-the-commons/ )
I welcome any feedback/improvements you have on this draft analysis, especially if any of you have been following these negotiations. The parties said they want to wrap this up by the end of the year, but who knows what will happen. In the least I think it's useful for CC to raise awareness about the concerns—both the substance and the process—of more copyright policymaking being pushed through these multilateral trade agreements.
Regards,
timothy
