As regards the coverage by Intellectual Property Watch, you have missed our full-length story on the reaction of NGOs and industry that ran the next day. On the night of the amendment's passage, we invested more time than other publications in personally tracking down the government officials who made the decision rather than simply writing up press releases. We would recommend consideration of the two stories we did together.<BR/><BR/>On the opt-out, we have written about it at length in the past, and<BR/>explicitly quote James Love of CPTech on the issue in the second story. But as no officials mentioned it, we did not mention it the first story.<BR/><BR/>It might be worth noting that we also published a story on NGO views just hours before the decision, effectively sandwiching the story on government views that you cited between two stories on NGOs. <BR/><BR/>All of our stories are found on www.ip-watch.org.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, William<BR/><BR/>William New, Editor-in-Chief<BR/>Intellectual Property Watch<BR/>CP 2100<BR/>1-5 Route des Morillons<BR/>1211 Geneva 2, SwitzerlandMike Palmedohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07390793622336892055noreply@blogger.com
