[IRP] comments on draft Charter commentary

[Abbe Brown]

I think the commentary is very good, well done those all those involved. 
Some initial comments on this - I would be happy to develop more 
depending on general reaction (a) substantively and (b) regarding the 
appropriate amount of space and detail which is appropriate for this 
commentary

1. articles 12 and 13 - query include some reference to ongoing  battles 
at WIPO about exceptions to copyright which specifically address the 
disabled

2. articles 19 and 20 - query include some more detail about attempts to 
impose liabilities on ISPs  (in the widest sense), Cleanfeed and other 
systems, removal of access in response to copyright claims/involvement 
in riots (hot issue in UK right now!)
