Damian Yerrick added:

However, the treaty itself did not require any copyright term extension beyond the Berne Convention's life-plus-50 term.

True, but why mention this here? There is an infinite number of other things that the treaty didn't require either, why single out this particular one? If its a common misconception, I'd note it as such; otherwise I'd delete this. -- SJK


I added that because Congress passed the Sonny Bono Act and the DMCA one day apart, both by unaccountable voice vote, so it may appear that both acts implemented the same treaty.


[edit] Pro WIPO?

"deemed necessary in the modern information era." by whom? "ensures" "provides"

Deemed so by WIPO. Not necessarily pro- or anti-, just saying that they deemed it neccessary.
