> >> The CopySouth Research Group (CSRG) invites you to attend and join in
> >> the debates at its three day
> >> international conference on copyright to be held in Rio de Janeiro,
> >> Brazil at the end of June.
> >>
> >>  It is an important moment to discuss these issues. Around the world,
> >> the antiquated assumptions of copyright law
> >> and ideology are again being questioned and new conflicts are breaking
> >> out. In Brazil, for example, more than 500 musicians,
> >> writers, academics and others signed an open letter in late May
> >> calling on their government to reform its copyright laws so that users
> >> can have more access to music and books. Meanwhile, the well-financed
> >> campaign against so-called copyright “piracy”
> >> has become even more vocal and threatens us all, except large
> >> corporations. Although three of the most important countries
> >> in the global South – China, India and Brazil – were not even invited
> >> to the talks, a new anti-piracy treaty called ACTA
> >> is about to be signed by rich nations in North America and Europe, as
> >> well as Japan and a few smaller countries.
> >>
> >> As we meet, a list of long-standing and complex questions is demanding
> >> new answers. Do most musicians benefit from the copyright system and
> >> the current way that the music industry is organised? How can we
> >> promote far more access to educational materials in the countries of
> >> South America, Africa and Asia than already exists? And, speaking of
> >> access and sharing, why do so many ideas and so many cultural products
> >> flow from the North to the South and so few flows the other way? Can
> >> we justify the current economic logic of the global copyright system?
> >> And what are viable alternatives to the current system?
> >>
> >> To address these questions and many more that you may want to raise,
> >> the CSRG has assembled a group of
> >> leading critical researchers, musicians and activists from around the
> >> world to come to Rio and to speak on
> >> seven panels. The speakers are from Brazil (7), Chile (1), Bolivia
> >> (1), Cuba (2), the United States (3),
> >> South Africa (2), Ghana (1), the Philippines (2), Switzerland (1), and
> >> the United Kingdom (2).
> >>
> >> We expect some strong opinions to be voiced and some good open debates
> >> to occur. So we extend an open invitation
> >> to all people interested in these issues, such as students,
> >> librarians, teachers, researchers, musicians
> >> and information activists, to attend.
> >>
> >> There will be simultaneous interpretation in Portuguese, Spanish and
> >> English.
> >>
> >> Hope to see you in Rio on 28 June.

> >> O Grupo de Pesquisa CopySouth (GPCS) convida você a assistir e
> >> participar dos debates promovidos nos três dias
> >> de sua Conferência Internacional sobre Direito Autoral, a ser
> >> realizada no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, no final de junho.
> >>
> >> O momento é importante para discutir essas questões. Os pressupostos
> >> antiquados das leis e da ideologia
> >> do direito autoral estão novamente sendo questionados em todo o mundo
> >> e novos conflitos estão acontecendo. No Brasil,
> >> por exemplo, mais de 500 músicos, escritores, acadêmicos e outros
> >> profissionais assinaram uma carta aberta no final de maio,
> >> pedindo que o governo reforme as leis de direito autoral para que os
> >> usuários possam ter mais acesso à música e aos livros.
> >> Ao mesmo tempo, a campanha bem-financiada contra a chamada “pirataria”
> >> se tornou ainda mais habitual e ameaça
> >> a todos, exceto as grandes corporações. Embora três dos países mais
> >> importantes do Hemisfério Sul – China, Índia e Brasil –
> >> nem sequer tenham sido convidados para as negociações, um novo tratado
> >> anti-pirataria chamado ACTA (Acordo
> >> Comercial Anti-Contrafação) está prestes a ser assinado pelos países
> >> ricos da América do Norte
> >> e da Europa, assim como pelo Japão e por alguns países menores.
> >>
> >> Enquanto nos reunimos, uma lista de perguntas antigas e complexas
> >> exige novas respostas. Será que a maioria
> >> dos músicos se beneficia do sistema de direito autoral e do modo como
> >> a indústria da música está organizada atualmente?
> >> Como podemos promover um acesso bem mais amplo do que existe hoje a
> >> materiais educacionais nos países da América do Sul, África e Ásia? E
> >> por falar em acesso e compartilhamento, por que tantas idéias e tantos
> >> produtos culturais fluem do Norte
> >> para o Sul e tão poucos fluem na outra direção? Será que podemos
> >> justificar a atual lógica econômica
> >> do sistema global de direito autoral? E quais são as alternativas
> >> viáveis para o sistema atual?
> >>
> >> Para abordar estas questões e muitas outras, o GPCS reuniu um grupo de
> >> importantes investigadores, músicos e ativistas de todo o mundo para
> >> vir ao Rio de Janeiro apresentar suas ideias em sete painéis. Os
> >> palestrantes são do Brasil (7), Chile (1), Bolívia (1), Cuba (2),
> >> Estados Unidos (3), África do Sul (2), Gana (1), Filipinas (2), Suíça
> >> (1) e Reino Unido (2).
> >>
> >> Esperamos debates abertos, onde algumas opiniões fortes se façam
> >> ouvir. Assim, estendemos nosso convite a todas
> >> as pessoas interessadas nestas questões, como estudantes,
> >> bibliotecários, professores, pesquisadores,
> >> músicos e ativistas compareçam ao evento.
> >>
> >> Haverá tradução simultânea entre inglês, espanhol e português.
