WIPO Broadcasting Treaty

WTH?! No! Go away! Whatabunchacrap. It basically says that being a broadcaster gives you copyright. So WakaWakaTV airs Boring Old Movie which is public domain, and then WakaWakaTV has the copyright for 50 years of their broadcast of that movie. Of course, everyone thinks this is retarded, and it probably won't happen, because apparently this happens every 6 months or so and doesn't work, but still! I didn't really know about this WIPO group, so they earn my Righteous Indignation of the Moment ;)
