pacific media centre | articles: USP academic raises alarm about ‘theft’ of Pacific creations (2011-01-08): "A USP academic has expressed concern about what he says is the continuing “misappropriation” of Pacific Islands’ creative properties.
Senior lecturer in education Teweiariki Teaero says others are stealing and copyrighting Pacific Island intellectual property.
He was speaking at a public lecture at the USP’s Laucala Campus in Suva.
He gave an example of mat weaving patterns belonging to a Kiribati family that were allegedly claimed by an artist from New Zealand.
This artist modified the images and called it her own, claimed Teaero."
