The Pirate Party tried to get accredited with WIPO as an NGO. Right.
A group that rabidly opposes intellectual property, that breaks the law and exists solely to oppose creators and innovators rights to own their creations, wants to participate in meetings of an organization that exists to further intellectual property understanding and protection.
WIPO correctly turned them aside, at least for now.
WIPO's problem here is that they have already been too open about whom they admit as observer NGOs. Hence it was newsworthy that they turned anyone down. I can't remember anyone being turned down in the eight years that I've been involved with WIPO, until now.
I support WIPO's decision to not accredit the Pirate Party, and I hope they stick by their guns. Member states that want to see a functioning WIPO should also support this decision. There is no obligation for WIPO to admidt as an NGO a group that is diametrically opposed to the mission and function of WIPO.
