Editor's Notes
- If it’s tough trying to be awake on a full stomach after a delicious lunch, it is an even bigger challenge, if not wicked, to be the last speaker after all the good food and nice dance performance. So I need your help. May I ask everyone to kindly stand up. Now stretch out both hands… turn to face the person standing next to you….together now, say “Copy Right” as you give each other two high fives, !! Ok…now that I have everyone on your feet, and your kind attention…. Please… you may sit down…silakan dudok. First, I like to start by sharing with you something personal. I found that my wife had left me a note clipped to my speech. This is the first time after many years. On the note she had simply written in bold letters, the word “KISS”. And I thought oh how sweet… but as I read further down she had intended her KISS for me to KEEP IT SHORT, SIMPLE. So I shall keep my talk short…leaving the full text for you to read at your leisure. I will now start my presentation.
- The topic of my talk is on the role of government and public engagement in promoting copyright. To begin, we must be aware that there are two main impacts of copyright Economic Cultural.
- On the role of Government, its initiatives could be to enact laws to …..
- On the part of the public, especially those with an interest in copyright, either as a creator or a user… They should be aware that the public can help to encourage creativity, enhance rights-owners value and ensure the correct social behaviour.
- As mentioned at the start of my talk, the copyright world will be better off if there’s respect for it, as it can enrich societies and help empower creators. How so? Some examples of the economic goodness that had resulted from a healthy copyright environment can be found in the more better-off countries such as the USA, Australia, UK, Canada and many other countries within the EU. Their copyright collecting organisations collect millions of dollars annually. It is certainly not co-incidental that the higher the respect for copyright, the more successful such countries have become…. Take for example the United States of America, which is arguably the world’s leader in intellectual property management. It collected more than US$205million in Year 2009; Australia’s CAL had AUD$111m; UK’s CLA achieved £63 million last year while Canada’s AccessCopyright had Can$34m; while Norway’s Kopinor yielded more than 230m kroners. All these countries, which have successful copyright management systems have enjoyed high economic growth despite their political difficulties. But look at North Korea, and the scene is totally different. While South Korea is enjoying economic progress, its northern rival is languishing in impoverished conditions. Even South Korean brands such as Hyundai,Kia cars and Samsung and TV soap operas have found ready fans among non-Korean speaking customers. The positive values of copyright are so obvious that Vietnam has already started to find ways to be involved in copyright. It has already started a n RRO organisation called VietRRO which has embarked on a membership recruitment drive to have more members. Besides Vietnam, Myanmar is also exploring possibilities to get its counrty’s rights owners involved. As for Singapore, it has arguably one of the fastest growing intellectual property industries as the country gears itself to be the region’s commercial hub for the IP world.

- And if flowery language is the bane of making IP easily understood, then perhaps using colourful cartoon images is the boon.
- This is the newly launched HIP bus started by the IPOS and local IP organisations to visit schools to spread the IP message, i.e. buy originals…and coying within legal limits.
- Inside the bus…here’s the Guest-of-Honour taking a look at the items on display ranging from hardware to software….
- (Refer to notes)
- In conclusion, I am happy to report that there’s now a better awareness for copyright in my country. This is because we in Singapore are experiencing voluntary approaches by the public who want to know about the limits of their using Intellectual property, and the legal boundaries…and what copyright is all about. There are also learning centres that come forward to seek a licence from CLASS voluntarily.. According to some parents, even their children have chided them off for buying bootleg VCDs or DVDs from their trips to countries where such products are still easily available in the streets. Recently, we in Singapore received a loud and clear signal that all the efforts and hard work towards educating the public on copyright has not only blossomed with many morning glories, but are beaing fruits too. This comes after students from a local university decided to report the illegal copying of books on campus to the authorities. The complaint received massive publicity in the country, leading the university management to order an investigation as well as a stop to such illegal reproduction. The student actions certainly augur well for the future of copyright. Thank you.
