"It may surprise you to learn that copyright is a human right. Article 
27(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says: "Everyone has 
the right to the protection of the moral and material interests 
resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which 
he is the author.""
" In the UK alone, 1.68 million people work in the creative sector, 
223,000 of them in publishing."
"Enforcement is critical. Piracy is depriving authors of income and 
crippling publishing businesses. Governments need to work with 
publishers, technology companies and internet service providers to 
ensure effective enforcement of copyright."

Rightsholder Organisation members, including the IPA, launched the Value 
of Copyright campaign and the CopyRightLink.org website at the Frankfurt 
Book Fair."*
