The book explores the WIPO journey so far and looks at how relevant
the treaties are in contemporary world after 25 years of their
existence. It revisits the WIPO Diplomatic Conference, narrates
briefly how the Internet Treaties came into being, describes all
the developments germane to the Internet Treaties over the last
twenty-five years and examines at length how well these treaties
withstood the creative gales of destruction having a bearing on the
production, distribution and consumption of digital content. The
retrospective consists of two parts. The first part looks back at
the conference, its course of events, its negotiation dynamics, the
doctrinal differences and sharply conflicting economic interests
underlying the stands taken by the main parties to negotiations and
the national and transnational interest groups that sought to
influence the negotiation process and outcomes. The second part
reflects on the outcomes and assesses with the wisdom of hindsight,
how appropriate the outcomes were and how well they withstood the
passage of time. This second aspect is the main focus of this book.
The retrospective is limited to the digital agenda of DipCon; but
for the digital agenda, the DipCon is convened so soon and the
Internet Treaties concluded so fast. The book provides rich
material for researchers studying the WIPO journey and also the
practitioners by throwing light on discussions that led to a treaty
that has in general withstood the trials of time.
