Parent article: EFF: webcasting dropped from WIPO

The issue is complex. The issue is a threat of giving control over content to the web sites that put it up--the middlemen that add little or nothing to the content. I don't know much about the recent change (just that EFF posting) but it seems like there was enough outrage expressed to force WIPO to move more slowly; they can't just shove it into a larger treaty and hope webcasting is ignored until it's the law of the land(s).

Background at my article The Problem with Webcasting: A cast that can be imprisoning (January 13, 2006).
