The long road to Marrakesh: 40 years of copyright obstruction to human rights and social justice

One of the little-known but extremely telling episodes in the history of modern copyright, discussed in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available), concerns the Marrakesh Treaty. A post on the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) site from 2017 has a good summary of what the treaty is about, and why it is important:

It sets out exceptions and limits to copyright rules so that […]

The truth about copyright: even successful authors can’t live on the royalties publishers pay them

Copyright is built on a lie that most people seem to accept: artists can make a decent living from the current system of rewards that copyright provides. As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) explores, all the data about artist remuneration shows that isn’t true.
