When there is no choice .. ...
I joined a discussion forum oragnised by Legislator CK SIn on 26 Apr at HKPC where a group of industry leaders are invited to express their view on Hong Kong Government consultation paper on new copyright legislations.
The speakers concentrated on two major themes:
1 Criminalisation of infringing downloading
2 Requiring ISP to keep IP-to-Physical Address records
One important discussion item was that almost everyone acknowledged the fact that a viable business model is needed for substantial development of online contents. But when there is no widely adopted business model, legislations are considered necessary.
PISA is monitoring these developments and will submit our views to the government.
