If you want a straightforward, but also critical, explanation of
the basics of copyright law across South America, Africa and Asia,
CopySouth recommends that you read the Spanish edition of its
alternative copyright primer which has just been posted online.<br>
<br>
The 75-page book, written by Alan Story of the CopySouth Research
Group, is titled "An alternative primer on national and international
copyright law in the global South: eighteen questions and answers." It
can be downloaded for free at: <a href="http://copysouth.org/portal/es/manual_es" target="_blank">http://copysouth.org/portal/es/manual_es</a><br>
<br>
The book is intended for librarians, musicians, downloaders and
book readers, information activists, students, and others who want to
know how the copyright system actually works in practice in the
countries of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Though a wide number of
legal issues are explained and analysed, this book is written in a clear
and non-legalistic fashion and contains numerous examples.<br>
<br>
The English version of the Primer was published in September 2009.
It is also available for a free download at: <a href="http://copysouth.org/portal/copyright-primer" target="_blank">http://copysouth.org/portal/copyright-primer</a>.
Alan Story teaches intellectual property law at Kent Law School in the
United Kingdom.<br>
<br>
The Portuguese edition of the Primer will be available within the
next few months.<br>
<br>
One reminder: The Rio papers of CopySouth were recently published
and are available at: <a href="http://copysouth.org/portal/theriopapers" target="_blank">http://copysouth.org/portal/theriopapers</a><br>

Si desea una explicación sencilla, pero también crítica, de los fundamentos de derecho de autor en América del Sur, África y Asia, CopySouth le recomienda leer la edición española de su cartilla de derechos de autor alternativa que acaba de ser publicado en línea.<br>
<br>
El libro de 75 páginas, escrito por Alan Story del Grupo de Investigación CopySouth, se titula "Un manual alternativo acerca del derecho de autor en el Sur global:<br>
dieciocho preguntas y respuestas sobre las leyes nacionales y las normativas internacionales" Puede ser descargado de forma gratuita en: <a href="http://copysouth.org/portal/es/manual_es" target="_blank">http://copysouth.org/portal/es/manual_es</a><br>
<br>
El libro está dirigido a bibliotecarios, a músicos, a quienes descargan y leen libros, a activistas informáticos, aestudiantes, y a otros que quieren saber cómo funciona el sistema de derecho de autor en la práctica en los países de América Latina, África y Asia. Aunque se explican y analizan un gran número de cuestiones jurídicas, este libro está escrito de manera clara y no legal, con numerosos ejemplos que ilustran los puntos.<br>
<br>
La versión en inglés de la cartilla se publicó en septiembre de 2009. También está disponible para su descarga gratuita en: <a href="http://copysouth.org/portal/copyright-primer" target="_blank">http://copysouth.org/portal/copyright-primer</a>. Alan Story enseña propiedad intelectual en la Kent Law School en el Reino Unido.<br>
<br>
La edición portuguesa de la cartilla estará disponible en los próximos meses.<br>
