| Abstract: | Transmission of data through a signal based
approach has been made possible by the broadcasting organizations, but it has
come at certain costs. The problem posed by incidences of signal theft induced
the member states of World Intellectual Property Organization to create a new
international tool in the form of a treaty to tackle this problem. The paper
seeks to analyse this in the light of present legal regime where protection is
granted to the broadcasting organizations, and whether granting further
protection in the form of exclusive rights will serve the interest of
developing nations or not. The representatives of developing nations have made
it clear that if the treaty is not based on elementary and absolutely necessary
rights, it should be abandoned. A study of the treaty makes it clear that the
primary purpose of treaty is not to tackle signal theft, which makes its
primary agenda ancillary in nature. |
