webcasting.html

Andy Oram examines the new concept of a "webcaster's right" that major
Web portals are trying to introduce through a World Intellectual
Property Organization treaty. The treaty would allow Web sites to
control the dissemination of content they put up. Using the failed
database protection laws as an example, and in the context of the
carrier's desire to create a tiered Internet, Andy analyzes this new
threat to the public domain.
