WIPO Broadcasting Treaty negotiations: Slow going

Informed sources have indicated that not much progress has been made in the morning informal sessions of the SCCR today which commenced at around 11:40 AM and ended at 1 PM for lunch. It is unlikely that the plenary will reconvene today. Delegations have only been able to discuss Article 1 of Jukka Liedes’ (20 April 2007) non-paper on the objective of the proposed treaty. This article states:

The objective of this Treaty is to provide effective and uniform international legal protection, on a signal-based approach, for broadcasting organizations against unauthorized use of their broadcasts.
