When thousands marched through ice and snow against a copyright
treaty, their cries for free speech on the Internet shot to the
heart of the European Union and forced a political U-turn. The
mighty entertainment industries could only stare in dismay, their
back-room plans in tatters. This highly original analysis of three
attempts to bring in new laws to defend copyright on the Internet -
ACTA, Ley Sinde and the Digital Economy Act - investigates the
dance of influence between lobbyists and their political proxies
and unmasks the sophistry of their arguments. Copyright expert
Monica Horten outlines the myriad ways that lobbyists contrived to
bypass democratic process and persuade politicians to take up their
cause in imposing an American corporate agenda. In doing so, she
argues the case for stronger transparency in copyright
policy-making. A Copyright Masquerade is essential reading for
anyone who cares about copyright and the Internet, and to those who
care about freedom of speech and good government.
