Copyright Exceptions Needed To Ensure Balance In Africa, Panellists Say

"International copyright laws do not take into account the reality of the conditions of accessing knowledge in Africa and clearer limitations and exceptions are needed to achieve a balanced copyright regime at the national level, panellists said at a seminar on development research on 20 May.
The seminar organised by research organisation IQsensato focused on copyright and access to educational and learning materials in Africa, and presented the research findings of the African Copyright and Access to Knowledge (ACA2K) Project on the subject."
