Can the World Be Copyrighted?

Two treaties taking effect this spring would expand the reach of
controversial American legislation designed to regulate the Internet.

The World Intellectual Property Organization, an international body
of government representatives that globalizes laws, announced new
guidelines to crack down on digital piracy. The WIPO Copyright Treaty
and the WIPO Performance and Phonograms Treaty, which go into effect
over the next three months, extend copyright protection to computer
programs, movies and music.
