Legco Election ITFC candidates talk about defending Internet freedom

06.09.2012

When the government refused to provide statutory criminal exemption for parody work on existed copyrighted works in the Copyright Ordinance amendment in 2012, I worked with the copyright industry to secure their consent to agree to offer such exemption, helping to relieve concerns of netizens, and letting ISPs enjoy the safe harbor provision they needed. The government in the end did not put the bill amendment back on the legislative agenda of 2012, and the incumbent legislator [Samson Tam] did NOTHING all along.
