[Lejos de ser una simple adaptación técnica a la "sociedad de la información", la evolución del derecho de la propiedad intelectual es una postura política. Con el pretexto de la "revolución multimedia", ciertos grupos de interés se han movilizado para solicitar y obtener una revisión del derecho de la propiedad intelectual en pos de su reforzamiento en beneficio de los detentadores de derechos. Han obtenido una extensión de la duración de la protección de las obras, la creación de nuevos derechos de propiedad intelectual - como el derecho conocido como sui generis, que protege la actividad, no inventiva, de elaboración de bases de datos a partir de elementos preexistentes -, la limitación de las excepciones legales - como el uso justo de las obras protegidas (fair use) -, la puesta en duda de las ventajas adquiridas por los usuarios (caso de las bibliotecas públicas), o incluso la posibilidad de patentar los programas informáticos. ...]
