明天是死期。 為保護言論自由，反映意見要快了! inmediahk.net/nov2013 ipd.gov.hk/chi/intellectual_property/copyright/consultation_on_parody.htm info.gov.hk/gia/general/201307/11/P201307110469.htm Dear Sir / Madam I am writing with regard to the public consultation on Treatment of Parody under the Copyright Regime (with photo) issued on July 11 2013. Hereby I completely disagree with the governments proposal, but instead, give my full support to the counter-proposal made by Amnesty International. As a song and blog writer, I do believe that safeguarding copyrights is of paramount importance. Yet we should never do it at the expense of free speech and creativity, particularly when all this comes in terms of non-profit-making parody, satire, caricature and pastiche. In other words, these varieties of art, which are non-commercial user generated content (UGC), should never be interfered and restricted by authorities. Otherwise, the proposed amendments made by the government would be manipulated as a political tool to tighten control over the press and online blogs, inadvertently or not. Since Hong Kong is a diverse and civilized society, the government should give room to the development of art, rather than make unnecessary changes in policy which would interfere creative industry and infringe freedom of speech. Yours truly XXX
