The Brazilian Copyright Act (Law 9.610/98) is going to be reformed. A public consultation is open until August the 31st, after an extension of the initial period of 45 days in order to expand the opportunity for participation.

More than 1,200 contributions about the proposed changes, which have sparked intense debate in the blogosphere and on Twitter, have been submitted since June 14th.

At the end of the consultation, the text will be redrafted based on the proposals made by the public. There is no deadline for the Executive to submit the project to the Congress.
