IMPORTANT: http://www.copyright-watch.org/

This is a significant and important effort done by Electronic Frontier Foundation:

"Balanced and well-calibrated copyright laws are extremely important in our global information society. The smallest shift in the legal balance between the rights of copyright owners and users of copyrighted knowledge can destroy or enable business models, criminalize or liberate everyday behaviour, and transform or eradicate new technology. A law that is passed in one nation can quickly be taken up by others, through bilateral trade agreements, regional policy initiatives or international treaties. We all need to keep watch."

I also heartly recommend "Intellectual Property Watch" (a lot of free articles)

and Knowledge Ecology International (the people that revealed the ACTA secret treaty!)

Three organizations with a bunch of smart people!
