U.S. likely to blast Israel
over copyrights
By Ora Coren
Ha'aretz Industry Correspondent
The U.S. government is expected to keep Israel on its "priority
watch" list of countries alleged to violate intellectual property
rights laws, U.S. State Department officials said over the weekend.
They said that reports received from the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv
indicated there was widespread and open violation of copyright law,
particularly in factories illegally reproducing compact discs in the
Galilee.
The U.S. Secretary of Trade annually publishes a list in April,
categorizing countries into four groups in terms of the degree to
which they violate copyright laws. The brunt of the U.S. criticism of
Israel is that it illegally reproduces music and computer programs
and is failing to enforce laws against copyright
infringement.
U.S. record and software companies, along with pharmaceutical
companies, are the main industries pressing Washington to take an
even tougher stance against Israel.
Drug companies have even contended that Israeli patent law
actually encourages violation of proprietary rights in their
sector.
Victor Harel, Israeli Foreign Ministry director-general for
economic affairs, heard American assessments of the situation when he
visited the United States last week. He said the continued music
compact disc piracy that is going on under broad daylight in Israel
is a major sore point with the Americans. He added that Washington
wants to see Israel set up an effective system to monitor piracy and
punish those who violate copyright laws.
In April 2000, Washington ranked Israel in the list of next to
worst offenders of copyright laws - the "priority watch" category -
on grounds that Israel was not taking sufficient measures to enforce
laws against copyright infringement.
Under U.S. law, Israel would face trade sanctions if its ranking
goes down another notch to the category of worst violators.
Harel believes that Israel's establishment of a special police
unit to fight against copyright infringement and moves in the Justice
Ministry to intensify enforcement of the law will prevent Israel from
being demoted further when the next list is published April
2001.
Harel said that a joint Israeli-U.S. economic committee is
scheduled to convene next month in Jerusalem. One subject on the
agenda will be copyright protection in Israel and Washington is
expected to make its final decision on the copyright listing on the
basis of the outcome of those talks. He believes the discussions will
even lead to Israel being lifted out of the "priority watch" category
to the less severe "watch" list. Israeli government efforts to set up
appropriate monitoring and enforcement mechanisms justified moving
Israel into the less severe category, he added.
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
