昨天收到IFPI給議員的信:
To : The Honourable Members of the Legislative Council
Dear Sirs/Madams,
RE: Copyright Amendment Bill should be passed without delay
IFPI represents the recording industry worldwide, with some 1400
record company members in 66 countries and affiliated industry
associations in 45 countries, including over 80 members in Hong Kong.
We urge the Honourable Members of the Legislative Council to pass the
Copyright Amendment Bill 2011 proposed by the administration (“the
Bill”) during the current sitting of the Legislative Council and not
delay it further for the following reasons:
1. This Bill is urgently required to enhance the existing legal
framework to tackle the serious online and mobile music piracy
problems in Hong Kong. The development of Hong Kong’s copyright
legislation is already way behind many jurisdictions. Without an
effective copyright protection regime, it will be difficult for the
creative industries to survive. The music industry has already
deteriorated in the past years due to rampant online piracy. Hong
Kong urgently needs a stronger copyright protection environment to
help the preservation of its own culture, Canto-pop.
2. We urge the Honourable Members of the Legislative Council not to
support the proposed broad amendment bill on fair dealing exception
for parody and satire at this stage. IFPI does not object the
introduction of any exception on parody and satire uses. However,
careful and cautious consideration through a comprehensive public
consultation is needed so that the right balance can be struck between
the interest of different stakeholders and the users. The
administration should commence the consultation exercise immediately
after the Bill is passed.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
