coordinates Gpopai, a research center investigating the economic and social
impacts of the current Brazilian copyright regime. 

The current problem in Brazil is that students do not have access to books which are too expensive to buy.

The cost of books for a student equates family income. Students, therefore, decide to copy the books. 

Brazilian regime has a very strict copyright law which allows students to copy only one
page. Copy shops face repression from the police because students copy books
there. Furthermore, more than a third of books required for courses are out of
print (which is a second issue the students face).

96% of investment is public, the rest is private
the private investment are those who hold the copyright

Necessity to reform copyright law.
