RE: Note to WIPO and Francis Gurry: shooting the messenger does not destroy the message
I agree. One question is this. Gene Quinn is a blogger but is he a card carrying journalist? Perhaps a journalist has more protection under the law of many jurisdictions. I know there have been some recent cases (US I think ) that have classed bloggers as journalists.
This threat and bullying by WIPO has certainly put a damper on World IP Day!
