Survey article reflecting the trends toward more stringent and global harmonization of copyright legislation. An odd conclusion, though: in response to the growing body of literature critical of these trends, the author theorizes that "the prevalence of such writings in the literature is a response to the movement toward harmonization and stronger intellectual property protections - an attempt to ensure some of the less heard voices are expressed." The former, certainly, but the latter? No, I think that the opposition runs deeper than some sort of charitable inclination to hear less heard voices.
