While the Conference Board at first insisted that it stood by the report, eventually it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20090528\/1258425047.shtml\">recalled three reports<\/a> and admitted that they &#8220;did not follow the high quality research standards&#8221; of the organization.

I still think there&#8217;s plenty in the report that doesn&#8217;t make much sense to me, but it&#8217;s significantly better than the totally one-sided, blatantly plagiarized piece from last year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100211\/0227468130.shtml\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100211\/0227468130.shtml#comments\">Comments<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/article.php?sid=20100211\/0227468130&#038;op=sharethis\">Email This Story<\/a><br \/>\n <br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=a382f5bd6a3b9c41954eba3915855ee2&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=a382f5bd6a3b9c41954eba3915855ee2&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2225\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=nyKQBUI7Cq8:7pPgN6crBBs:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?i=nyKQBUI7Cq8:7pPgN6crBBs:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=nyKQBUI7Cq8:7pPgN6crBBs:c-S6u7MTCTE\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?d=c-S6u7MTCTE\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/techdirt\/feed\/~4\/nyKQBUI7Cq8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may remember last year that the Conference Board of Canada (who, until then, was pretty well respected) released a report on &#8220;intellectual property policy&#8221; that was blatantly plagiarized from US copyright industry lobbyists.
