Wipout Essay Results

Posted by michael on from the a-for-effort dept.

chrestomanci writes "The Register is reporting on the results of a counter-essay contest run by wipout.net (an international organisation that seeks to limit the reach of the WIPO and intellectual property rights in general) against the WIPO's own essay contest, both with the title "What does intellectual property mean to you in your daily life?". A telling slogan reads: Today, the WTO pulled the trigger on another 2.500 poor AIDS victims."

    True. After speaking with a couple of Nigerian doctors recently, I really understand. One was a intensive care surgeon working in the US, and he said "100% of my patients woud die if I were in Nigeria would die. 90% of my patients would die if I were in Europe. No medical system in the world even begins to compare."

    'nuff said.
