Alaa Al Aswany, writer, Egypt

Al Aswany's literary work has attracted widespread attention, it has been translated into 34 languages and published in 100 countries.

For him, copyright is very important "if we had a more effective copyright protection system in Egypt we would have many more independent writers. Many writers who absolutely have the right to live from their writings are unable to do so because of a lack of strong copyright protection...Not only in the field of literature but also in the movie and music sectors !"
