      abstract = {The book explores the WIPO journey so far and looks at how  relevant the treaties are in contemporary world after 25  years of their existence. It revisits the WIPO Diplomatic  Conference, narrates briefly how the Internet Treaties came  into being, describes all the developments germane to the  Internet Treaties over the last twenty-five years and  examines at length how well these treaties withstood the  creative gales of destruction having a bearing on the  production, distribution and consumption of digital  content. The retrospective consists of two parts. The first  part looks back at the conference, its course of events,  its negotiation dynamics, the doctrinal differences and  sharply conflicting economic interests underlying the  stands taken by the main parties to negotiations and the  national and transnational interest groups that sought to  influence the negotiation process and outcomes. The second  part reflects on the outcomes and assesses with the wisdom  of hindsight, how appropriate the outcomes were and how  well they withstood the passage of time. This second aspect  is the main focus of this book. The retrospective is  limited to the digital agenda of DipCon; but for the  digital agenda, the DipCon is convened so soon and the  Internet Treaties concluded so fast. The book provides rich  material for researchers studying the WIPO journey and also  the practitioners by throwing light on discussions that led  to a treaty that has in general withstood the trials of  time.},
