International Activists Launch New Website to Gather and Share International Copyright Knowledge

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL.net), and other international copyright experts joined together today to launch Copyright Watch — a public website created to centralize resources on national copyright laws at:

http://www.copyright-watch.org

Copyright Watch is the first comprehensive and up-to-date online repository of national and regional copyright laws. Users can find links by choosing a continent or by searching a country name. The site will be updated over time to include proposed amendments to laws, as well as commentary and context from national copyright experts.

Copyright Watch will help document how legislators around the world are coping with the challenges of new technology and new business models.
