By José Borghino Secretary General, and Ben Steward, Director of Communications and Freedom to Publish, International Publishers Association (IPA)

Digital technology, with its new and enticing formats, has far extended the reach of book and journal publishing, allowing publishers to find more readers wherever they are and whenever they want to read.

At the heart of this global enterprise is copyright.
