Re: WIPO Broadcasting Treaty Survey -- call for volunteers

Dear David,

Thanks for raising awareness on this issue. It appears that once more
legislators are trying to pervert Intellectual Property beyond their
mandate.

I know from my research into the Berne Convention that this proposals
violates 3 important principles. (mentioned explicitly)

1) It allows re-classifying of public domain works. This is forbidden under
The Berne Convention.

2)It violates the exclusive rights of authors to exercise control over their
work by any means and in any form.

3) It unfairly prejudices the rights of the author

Do the legislators ever read the treaties they have already signed?

Sincerely,

Christian Beauprez
