All over the world people create. Music, art, literature. But is their creative work protected? Sure there are international copyright laws, but are they enforced? And if not, what then? This week our team took to the studio for a discussion to sort out global culture and international copyright law. If you haven’t yet listened to our most recent feature episode GIFT AND CURSE OF MUSIC – Haiti’s Fight for Copyright by reporter and composer Ian Coss, take a minute to hit the play button.

Then come back and join us for our in-studio discussion on the incentives and rewards of international and national copyright law.
