"This isn’t a surprise. In two decades of doing work in and around the
copyright space, this attitude is pervasive. It ignores, of course, that
throughout all of this time, those in legacy industries are often way
too quick to declare something, or some tool or service, “dedicated to
infringement,” when it is not. It ignores that making mistakes here have
massive impacts on both free expression and innovation. This is
especially galling given that WIPO is a part of the UN and the UN is
supposed to be bound by the principles of free expression in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To brush off such blatant
censorship without any due process as “they know what they did” is
astoundingly cavalier."
