At 9:43 PM tonight we hear that the casting discussions are stalling over the United States’ support of the inclusion of the phrase “by any means” in Jukka’s non-paper on Article 7 (Protection of Broadcasts) noting that this would be the “value added” component of any Treaty for the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations. For developing countries such as India and Brazil, and many technology sector players and public interest NGOs, this phrase “by any means” would leave open the specter of webcasting and simulcasting flooding back into the proposed instrument thus threatening to submerge a truly signal-based approach to protect against signal theft over traditional platforms.
