Video Interviews and Press Coverage from SCCR 24

Posted on by James Love

The following interviews were recorded during the 24th meeting of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR). Most of the interviews are focused on the negotiations on a new WIPO treaty for persons who are blind or have other disabilities. The time of the videos varies from 16 seconds to more than 18 minutes. They are organized by the type of stakeholder, and the date of the interviews. This page will be updated during the meeting as I add more videos. Any of the videos can be used under any creative commons license, with appropriate attribution of the source.

Without going deeply into the substance of the interviews, which are informative and speak for themselves, you can learn a lot about the US position in the negotiations by listening to Alan Adler of the AAP, and about the European Commission position by listening to Jens Bammel of the IPA.
