In 2005, a group of scholars and activists, mostly from the global South,
created the Copy/South Research Group to analyse, criticise, and confront
the oppressive nature of current global copyright regimes, such as those
defended by the World Intellectual Property Organisation, and similar ones
around the globe. In May 2006, 22 of us, including 15 people from the
global South, published THE COPY/SOUTH DOSSIER: Issues in the economics,
politics, and ideology of copyright in the global South.

The aim of the Dossier was to open up a critical and radical debate on the
real impact of copyright laws and how they affect the daily lives of
people living in more than 150 developing countries of the global South.
We also highlighted issues that are not unique to the Global South, but
also affect both sides of the North-South divide. This publication of more
than 50 articles was addressed to researchers, educators, librarians,
musicians, activists, organizations concerned about access to knowledge,
and all of those who want to learn more about the oppressive global role
of copyright laws and, in particular, their largely negative role in the
developing countries of the global South.

Given the democratic objectives of the Copy/South Research Group, the
Dossier was not restricted by copyright. Therefore, it has been accessed
openly and freely in both electronic and paper formats by thousands of
readers from around the world in English. But English is not spoken by all
citizens in the global South. With this in mind, the entire 200-page
Dossier was translated into Spanish in late 2007 by an enthusiastic team
of voluntary translators from Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico, Spain, and
Venezuela.

But what is still more extraordinary about the Spanish translation is that
it was completely coordinated and edited by the Servicio Autonomo de la
Propiedad Intelectual (SAPI) of the democratic government of the
Venezuelan Bolivarian Republic. The Dossier provides "useful material to
introduce this topic to teachers and students" and does a good job of
"summarizing a complex and conflicting situation" for developing
countries, Jumersi La Rosa, SAPI's new director, said last week in
announcing the release of the Spanish edition. She has written a special
new introduction for the Spanish-language edition.

The Copy South Research Group is very pleased that the radical message of
resistance found in the Dossier can now be read by thousands of
Spanish-language speakers who are questioning the current copyright regime
and who hopefully will be ignited by the ideas in the Dossier to take up
the fight against oppressive regimes based on copyright.

You can get a copy of the Dossier in Spanish and English by downloading
it, free of charge, at http://www.copysouth.org . We also still have a
limited number of printed and bound copies of the English-language version
of the Dossier. If you would to be mailed a copy of the English-language
version, which contains eight posters, send us an e-mail
([log in to unmask]) and include your full postal details.

En 2005, un grupo de academicos y activistas, principalmente del Sur
global, crearon el Grupo de Investigacion Copia Sur para analizar,
criticar, y confrontar la naturaleza de los regimenes globales de
copyright (derechos de autor), tales como aquellos defendidos por la
Organizacion Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual y otras similares
alrededor del mundo. En mayo de 2006, 22 de nosotros, incluyendo 15
miembros del Sur global, publicamos el DOSSIER COPIA/SUR: Problemas
economicos, politicos e ideologicos del copyright (derechos de autor) en
el Sur global.

El proposito del Dossier fue abrir un debate critico y radical sobre el
impacto real de las leyes del copyright y como afectan las vidas diarias
de la gente que vive en mas de 150 paises en desarrollo del Sur global.
Tambien resaltamos los problemas que no son unicos del Sur global, sino
tambien que afectan ambos lados de la brecha Norte-Sur. Esta publicacion
de mas de 50 articulos ha sido creada para investigadores, educadores,
bibliotecarios, musicos, activistas y organizaciones preocupadas por el
acceso al conocimiento, y para todos aquellos que quieran saber mas sobre
el rol de las leyes del copyright, y en particular su rol inmensamente
negativo en los paises en desarrollo del Sur global.

Dado los objetivos democraticos del Grupo de Investigacion del Sur Global,
el Dossier no esta restringido por el copyright. Por lo tanto, ha sido
accesado abierta y libremente tanto en formatos electronicos como en papel
por miles de lectores de alrededor del mundo en ingles. Pero el ingles no
es hablado por todos los ciudadanos del Sur global. Con esto en mente, las
200 paginas del Dossier fueron traducido al espanol a finales del 2007 por
un
equipo entusiasta de traductores voluntarios de Argentina, Boliva, Cuba,
Mexico, Espana y Venezuela.

Pero lo que es aun mas extraordinario acerca de la traduccion en espanol
es que fue completamente coordinada y editada por el Servicio Autonomo de
la Propiedad Intelectual (SAPI) del gobierno democratico de la Republica
Venezolana Bolivariana. El Dossier provee "material util para introducir
este topico a los profesores y estudiantes" y realiza un buen trabajo de
"resumir una situacion compleja y conflictiva" para los paises en
desarrollo, como lo dijo Jumersi La Rosa, nueva directora del SAPI, la
semana pasada al anunciar el lanzamiento de la edicion en espanol del
Dossier. Ella ha escrito una nueva introduccion especial para la edicion
en idioma espanol.

El Grupo de Investigacion Copia/Sur  esta muy complacido de que el mensaje
radical de resistencia encontrado en el Dossier puede ahora ser leido por
miles de hispanoparlantes quienes estan cuestionando el regimen actual del
copyright y de quienes se espera que sean encendidos por las ideas del
Dossier para que emprendan la lucha contra los regimenes opresivos basados
en el copyright.

Tu puedes obtener una copia del Dossier en espanol e ingles descargandolo,
gratuitamente, aqui: http://www.copysouth.org . Tambien contamos aun con
cierta cantidad limitada de copias impresas en rustica de la version
inglesa original del Dossier. Si quisieras que te fuera enviada por correo
postal una copia de la edicion inglesa, que contiene ocho carteles,
envianos un mensaje a este correo electronico ([log in to unmask]) e
incluye los detalles de tu direccion postal.

"Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
