Abstract/Summary

There is no act more wretched than stealing Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

All crimes roots from stealing when you kill someone, you rob someone of his life, when you tell a lie, you rob someone's right to the truth, when you cheat, you steal someone's right to fairness, when you photocopy without permission, you steal someone's Intellectual Property (IP).

Thus, FILCOLS is established to serve as an intermediate party between rightholders and end users FILCOLS provides for permission of authors to photocopy, while the end users pay a certain fee to compensate for the use of idea. In the infancy of this concept in the Philippines, FILCOLS received many protest from the academe and other institutions on why they should start paying for what is perceived to be free. On the ground of enforcing a balance in due respect with the rights of both parties, is FILCOLS really the solution to the rampant photocopying in the Philippines?
