Hi all
Today WIPO celebrates World Intellectual Property Day http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/ and I just wanted to bring to your attention a campaign by Communia, Kennisland, and Centrum Cyfrowe: the three organizations have been looking into the copyright status of Anne Frank's diary in Europe. It turns out that the original Dutch version is in the public domain in Poland -- but not in the Netherlands.
Find more info about the #readannediary campaign that calls for shorter, harmonized copyright terms here http://www.communia-association.org/2016/04/25/anne-frank-term-copyright-protection-time-move-harmonisation-unification/ .
Best, Jan
