IP Justice is an international civil liberties organization that promotes balanced intellectual property laws and freedom of expression in a digital world.
IP Justice was founded in 2002 by cyber-rights attorney Robin Gross. IP Justice has an international board of directors, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity and is based in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
IP Justice has launched campaigns at the World Intellectual Property Organization, on the proposed Free Trade Area of the America's Treaty, the European Union directive on the enforcement of intellectual property rights and has been active in Internet governance discussions, including at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). IP Justice is a founding member of several IGF Dynamic Coalitions, including coalitions on Free Expression, Access to Knowledge, an Internet Bill of Rights, Open Standards, and Privacy.
Famous quotes containing the word justice:
“Practically speaking, the opponents to a reform in Massachusetts are not a hundred thousand politicians at the South, but a hundred thousand merchants and farmers here, who are more interested in commerce and agriculture than they are in humanity, and are not prepared to do justice to the slave and to Mexico, cost what it may. I quarrel not with far-off foes, but with those who, near at home, coöperate with, and do the bidding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
