Abstract:
The South African President recently sent a Copyright Amendment Bill , including a reservation that it鈥檚 proposed 鈥渉ybrid鈥 fair use right with specific exceptions would violate the international 3-step test. The rejection of the Bill was motivated in part by US industry and official opposition. In this event, we will feature public presentations of scholars from the Global Expert Network on Copyright User Rights that examine the trend toward hybrid fair use exceptions and the premises of US industry and government opposition.
