DRM and Media Act
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Richard2008
Description: The United Nations,
-A- NOTING that the entertainment industry is a growing sector and is essential to the economic development of our Nations and the happiness of our people
-B- DEFINES a “regional system” as any method to prohibit the transmitting or viewing of media from one region or nation in another region or nation,
-C- NOTING that some regional systems are desgined to prevent access to graphic or restricted types of media content in individual nations,
-D- CONVINCED that the universal standards are likely to increase comsumer confidence, further adding to the practical and economic viability and success of these standards,
-E- REGRETTING the compatibility issues caused by multiple media formats around the world, and the further lack of coordination between media companies
-F- REGRETTING the problems consumers face when using incompatible media formats, and when attempting to transport media from other cultures, which is a barrier to cultural awareness,
-G- REGRETTING that the current restrictions on media use increase piracy and hurt content and distribution industries,
-1- URGES all Nations to encourage the growth of the entertainment industry"
-2- URGES STRONGLY all nations to regulate DRM (Digital Rights Management) systems and Media duplication protections, in order to assure compatibility for customers with most media players,
-3- BANS any "regional system" for commercial DRM’s and media formats, such as
-Blu-ray disc
-High Density Digital Versatile Disc (HD DVD)
-Universal Media Disc (UMD)
-Super Audio CD (SACD)
-DualDisc
-Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD)
-Holographic Versatile Disc (HDV)
and any other previous or future storage medium. The media content and distribution industries should work to integrate current and past standards, and make a reasonable effort to ensure that the new universal standard is backwards compatible with these previous standards.
-4- DISCOURAGES any media sharing, distribution, or reproduction methods which are illegal or restricted by law in each individual UN nation,
-5- MANDATES developed nations where companies propose a commercial media support or DRM system standard to regulate the cost of its patent licensing in order to be financially reasonable and available to developing and less economically stable nations.

The Unified Capitalizt States oppose this proposal. Contrary to its stated goal, sections 3 and 5 increase barriers to free trade and commerce. This will negatively affect the economies of UN member states, which will hurt all of the peoples of the world.

Hmmm, a 2-2 stalemate. I don't feel particularly strongly about this proposal so I won't use a casting vote. Therefore this proposal has not been endorsed. |
