"This remarkable study should be required reading for anyone concerned with copyright and enforcement, or with the challenges of cultural globalization"
- Gilberto Gil, musician and former Brazilian minister of culture
"The Social Science Research Council's study is a landmark in the copyright literature: an actual empirical investigation into what works and what doesn't in the enforcement arena. If policy makers want to be guided by evidence and not rhetoric, they will begin with the Council's study and stay with it for a very long time."
- William Patry, senior copyright counsel, Google
"somewhat epic... The whole report is really fascinating, and an incredibly useful read for policy makers who are so focused on things like ACTA, enforcement and industry claims of "losses." It really is a huge contribution to the research on these topics -- and something that I hope gets delivered to policy makers. I'd send copies to various politicians myself... if it weren't for that license that tells me I could face five years in jail for doing so. Update: Clearly, I missed that this is pure satire by the report's authors. Such is life when I'm so used to seeing such things that are real."
- Mike Masnick, Techdirt
"The entire report is a must-read"
- Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, University of Ottawa
the report is downloadable here with some tiers re. paid vs. free which is explained on this page. Canada appears to be exempt due to funding from the International Development Research Centre.
