At Vote:Repeal UCPL [Complete]

[Former English Colony]

New UN Resolution. Give me your UN if I can't find it easily.

Voting ends Thursday, so get your vote in by Wednesday night.

Repeal "UCPL"

RECOGNISING that copyright and patent law are fundamentally different methods of protecting intellectual property;

NOTING WITH REGRET that this resolution makes no distinction between the two;

REALISING that there are profound differences in the way nations view the value and ownership of intellectual property;

BELIEVING that copyright law and patent law are such inherently complex concepts that no single resolution can formally and effectively create a universal system of UN law in this regard;

DEEPLY CONSCIOUS that the mechanism for sharing copyright described in UCPL would be impossible;

ALARMED at the cost of constructing and maintaining over 30,000 separate chapter offices in member capitals, and further sub-agencies;

REAFFIRMING the importance of global cooperation in copyright issues;

EXPRESSING ITS HOPE that nations will continue to work together in this respect;

BELIEVING that a more effective replacement for "UCPL" can be achieved:

REPEALS "UCPL".

[Sirixis]

Can I vote again?

 

[Darkesia]

I am For this repeal.

 

[Namyeknom]

FOR

(I didn't vote on the last resolution, do I get a hug? :wink: )

 

[WishyWashyWonder]

I'm voting AGAINST this one. Repealing this would do more harm than good in my opinion.

 

[Former English Colony]

I am For this repeal.

Dark... You have a UN in residence in TNP?

 

[Darkesia]

I am For this repeal. 

Dark... You have a UN in residence in TNP?

No
I was told I didn't need one...

Are there separate rules for this too?
BAH! You feeders have too many darned rules.

Who do I have to kill to get a vote?

I didn't know you meant for UN resolutions. To vote in an election or to become an RA or RV you don't need a UN Nation. For this though, you do.

Sorry Dark.

Dark, go influence your own delegate. :p

We love's ya, but you can't vote on a UN Resolution unless you're in our region.

 

[Darkesia]

I don't have a UN in Lem either. :p

But THEY love me enough to count my vote anyway. :wink:

 

[OPArsenal]

FOR.

 

[Former English Colony]

Looks like I'll be voting for, at a count right now of 5 to 2

 

[Former English Colony]

Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
