12.6.2004  IP Watch  We just came across an IP website we had not heretofore seen -- Intellectual Property Watch, which is dedicated to "Transparency for the public interest," and has the mission of "report[ing] on the interests and 'behind the scenes' dynamics which influence the design and implementation of intellectual property policies," and of "aim[ing] to increase transparency, accountability and fairness in global intellectual property policymaking." Start-up funding came from "the Center for International Environmental Law, supported by the Open Society Institute and the Rockefeller Foundation." OSI is a George Soros operation, so we have a hunch that IP Watch will not be brimming with pro-market rhetoric. posted by James DeLong : 12/6/2004 10:45:25 AM   IPcentral WebLog Blog Main Recent Posts   More and More Open Source, Perhaps Too Much Sun and Open Source Games as an Art Form Kazaa Gossip David Post on Larry Lessig Municipal Internets (cont.)
