Incidentally, w/r/t my #17, it was seemingly hard to find first-run stories on this attack. The mainstream outlets didn't show up much on the first google page. Mostly it was blogs.
fwiw...

Hey Stevie. Last time I checked, the U.N. wasn’t running the world just yet.

The blind singer told the U.N.'s 184-nation World Intellectual Property Organization that more than 300 million people who "live in the dark" want to "read their way into light," and the current copyright system denies them an equal opportunity.
Apparently no one has read the articles to him regarding the current campaign by Righthaven LLC and the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Thanks epithermal.

I suppose a fellow can’t be expected to fight all possible global battles against legal-but-chintzy practices in the IP field.
There’s already been global arm wrestling with the US copyright system which has helped result in such things as fantastic Mickey Mouse copyright lifespans. It hasn’t all been in the direction of easing strictures that eat into the avowed purpose of advancing the arts.
Wonder appears to be encouraging policies of not requiring licensing terms to be any more burdensome for producing audio versions of books for the blind than for producing print versions of them.
He would really show the spirit if he would donate all royalties from his proposed song of complaint to a national or international foundation for the blind.
