Here’s a great article summarising why we marched last week and why it’s critical for @ParliamentofRSA @ANCParliament @MYANC to ensure #fairusenow #fairroyalties and to reiterate that #brailleisnocrime by not letting any more time go by. It’s time to #savethebills!

BRAILLE IS NO CRIME https://t.co/YA2vcIhFil
"The doctrine of "fair use" originated... ...as a way of preventing copyright law from being too rigidly applied and "stifling the very creativity which copyright law is designed to foster."" - https://t.co/lYxvXSuVFS
Pretty much sums up why we need #FairUseNOW.
*Only 9 of the richest countries in the world have #FairUse because BIG USA BUSINESS (IIPA) works very hard to prevent other countries from getting it and competing with them.
There I fixed it for you. #FairUseNow #CopyrightAmendmentBill
Yes, others are considering Fair Use, as SA is.
The purpose of the current process is to promote dialogue, identify the pitfalls, consider the alternatives & create the best legislation for SA's artist
Only 9 countries have Fair Use because many more have reservations about it
#FairUse is in use all over the world, and correlates with high growth creative sectors. It is madness that we are even debating whether or not we adopt it. Without it, we pay huge amounts for content that Americans get for free. #FairUseNow #SaveTheBills
But let's not mention that #FairUse is a feature of Israel's #IP regime! Or people might be offended that it's a driving force for technological development & innovation. This is exactly why it's a feature of the #CopyrightBill in SA! @SaRecreate @ParliamentofRSA @AgitationalDave
a BIG part of why we pay so much more for text books is because of monopolies. legalising parallel importation BREAKS that monopoly and allows us to buy from cheaper sources. #Booksforall #Savethebills #DecoloniseCopyright #FairUseNOW
SA Students pay as much as 7 TIMES more for textbooks than Americans. Looks like some good ol' fashioned colonial exploitation. We need the #CopyrightAmendmentBill NOW to stop US corporations from unfairly exploiting our students and their families. #FairUseNow #SaveTheBills
They are trying to claim ownership of any and all processes (natural or human made) that they can too monopolise profits. Not so different from attempts to maintain Apartheid Era copyright laws in South Africa that harm creatives🤔. #SaveTheBills #LegaliseBraille #FairUseNow
Fair use complies with the three-step test

Great piece from the Electronic Frontier Foundation about the foreign hypocrisy and interference in attempts to update our copyright laws to benefit South Africa. @EFF https://t.co/4HxysOX4EZ #SaveTheBills #SignTheBills #FairUseNow
