Althought some of us aren't lawyers, I think it would be nice to organize hangouts to discuss issues such as these and invite experts from different regions to find the possibility to replicate some of the efforts you're doing worldwide.

Bravo !<br><br></div>However, may we suggest you to modify "just a little" some parts of your blog post, concerning the "copyright and patent" section ?<br>
</div><div>The analysis seems delivered across US (or US-like) copyright and patent concept. Maybe you should insist the copyright and patent analysis might not match with some world regions. Then, insisting on this, might avoid wrong reasoning for places where the US (or US-like) copyright concept is not (fortunately yet) completely valid.<br>
</div><div>To better understand why, by a based-on-written-law country example, you will maybe interested in reading the following links - remember, there are also a lot of other regions where the law is oral and ownership is only valid across oral (or also "signs without any world at all") decisions : <br>
