Issues raised
Copyright
● It affects translation
● Performing
● Photocopying
It has been used by the North to enrich itself and exploit the South. Taxation Profits are registered in a tax haven country e.g Ireland by using resources from other countries. Much of this discussion wasn't clear due to a lot of noise emanating from surrounding activities leading to many of us moving to a private discussion with Mr. Story after the event about his views on the topic.
Recommendations
● Many questiones arose about the copyright/intellectual property rights vis a vis poor countries in need of learning material.
● For example what happens to the poor students who need to photocopy due to restrictive prices of books from the North
