Copy South Research Group

This website represents the Copy South Research Group, which has examined copyright laws and their impact on developing countries, something it regards the developed world (‘The North’) imposing on developing countries (‘The South’) to their detriment. It examines alternatives from these regions, stressing the potentially enriching role which freer forms of information sharing can have. Of primary interest on the website is the 208-page ‘Copy South Dossier’, a free collection of articles examining the issue from a wide variety of perspectives. Since 2006, when the dossier was published, the group has received AHRC funding. Intute.ac.uk
