Harris: Well that is good guess. Like I said, Iran is gaining credibility. They are gaining influence everywhere in the world right now. They are on the verge of breaking out of this containment that has been against them since the Islamic Revolution really.

But the Special 301 Report fails to tell the whole story about copyright across the modern online world.

It ignores how innovators have benefited from a more balanced enforcement system and generous exceptions—most famously in the United States itself.

The USTR urges countries to enact new and higher criminal penalties for the “theft” of trade secrets. Yet the last leak of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement’s Intellectual Property chapter revealed language on trade secrets that is so dangerously broad that it could be used to crackdown on journalists and whistleblowers who reveal corporate wrongdoing “through a computer system.” If this is the kind of language that the USTR holds as a minimum standard for enforcement, we should expect to see the agency to increasingly push for draconian rules that would threaten critical reporting published online.
