Studying intellectual property

toast

Gone !
Hello people,

As a student in political science, I have chosen to place the coming student year under the sign of intellectual property.

I'll be working out two things on this topic:

1) First, my seminary memoir is a study of intellectual property on the Internet; my study angle is the WIPO transational organization [links: http://www.wipo.org/index.html.en , http://www.wipo.org/index.html.fr]. I am working side by side with a German specialist, based at Berlin's Freie Universität (does it ring a bell to some ? Wolf-Dieter Eberwein ? Nobody's studying there on this board ?).

2) Moreover, I am taking part in an official parliamentary commission simulation here at the Institute of Political Studies of Grenoble. Our aim is to explain to a fake group of MPs (deputees, Members of Parl.) why should intellectual property should exist on the Web in a moderate form. We gonna concentrate on software (GNU, FSF, open source and more stuff) and design (Creative Commons).

If you people know more organizations such as CC or FSF, I'm very much interested. I'll be doing my own research, but still, if any of you has already worked on this topic, I'm listening.

Thanks in advance !
I'll have my own website displaying a few links about this topic. The page will be in English and French, here: www.phnk.com/spo3.html#seminaire (in one week or so).
