Carolina Botero has sent us an English translation of the new copyright legislation that was recently proposed in Colombia to replace the controversial “Ley Lleras 2.0” law that was struck down earlier last year by the Constitutional Court. The law is meant intended to bring Colombia into compliance with the IP provisions i its FTA with the United States, but public interest groups have warned that it expands the scope copyright beyond what is required, and contains confining language on limitations and exceptions, and includes criminal penalties for DRMs that would apply to a very broad definition of for-‘profit’ activities.
The English translation is available here. The original version in Spanish is available here.
