INTERNET COPYRIGHTS IN THAI CONTEXT

Abstract

The present state of Internet copyright law, as it is reflected
in Internet treaties, favours the commercial interests of the
enterprises who derive their profits from intellectual property. The
prevailing concern of developing countries like Thailand should be
providing a fair and equitable access to the information on the
Internet for all its citizens. When comparing Thai Internet copyright
law to American law, one can see significant similarities. Following
American principles in Thai context, however, leave many problems
of copyright protection unresolved. It is argued, that Thailand should
be more creative in forming its copyright law provisions to meet its
national priorities.
