Organizations and associations this year’s World Book and Copyright Day (Friday, April 23) and World Intellectual Property Day (Monday, April 26) have elicited, of course, statements responsive to and reflective of the impact of the still-ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. An event like the onslaught of this pathogen–which at this writing has killed 3,105,726 people worldwide–is this year understandably eliciting many comments of appreciation and support from non-governmental organizations and other service associations.
From the International Publishers Association (IPA), Friday’s statement opens saying, “On World Book and Copyright Day 2021, the International Publishers Association pays tribute to publishers’ unstinting, positive contribution to the world during a year in which our societies have faced unprecedented pressure.”
