Ohh ... its vanished :-(
I am working on copyright issues, specifically trying to direct the
Canadian government to take a different path than the USA. I will be
having a meeting with government bureaucrats in the next few weeks and
want to have an update on what the French and other governments are doing
on Open Source.
http://www.grulic.org.ar/proposicion/doc/referencias.html
has a long list of laws/bills from various countries. Some of the links
are not valid any more, but most are. Here are some other links I had,
but I think most are duplicates from there:
Argentina:

Denmark:
http://www.ft.dk/samling/19991/beslutningsforslag_oversigtsformat/b114.htm
Laws in Brasil (some state, some federal)
http://www.cipsga.org.br/sections.php?op=listarticles&secid=19
(I believe the Pinheiro one is the most important bill)
South Africa:
http://www.naci.org.za/docs/opensource.html
(National Advisory Council on Innovation paper)
Peru:

Give us some feedback on how it goes?
Good luck

The "right to compatibility" stuff that was seen in the 1991 EU
directive on software is critical - the rejection of copyright for
"interfaces" could close the discussion on legal protection of
technological measures, the most controversial (and simply idiotic)
aspects of the USSA's 1998 DMCA.
