[FSFE PR][EN] FSFE becomes WIPO observer

[FSFE PR][EN] FSFE becomes WIPO observer: "Currently there are many threats to the freedom of our society and our economy in a knowledge based society -- from the European Copyright Directive (EUCD) to the expansion of patentability -- originating at least ideologically at UN level and beyond discussion when they are finally passed as national laws. This leaves very little room to attempt to limit the harm and damaging effects. For that reason, FSFE has requested to be granted observer status at the WIPO in 2003, which was confirmed by the Assembly of the Member States of WIPO from 27 September to 5 October, 2004. In the scope of the FSFE WIPO project team [1], the FSFE will work with other players to change WIPO from an organisation that is solely oriented towards monopolisation of knowledge to one that is aimed at increasing the intellectual wealth of all of humankind through a more flexible, sustainable and effective tool set.
