Canadian Copyright

It looks like the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment in Canada is plan­ning on chan­ging the copy­right law. If you’re con­cerned about the issue of copy­right, and par­tic­u­larly if you’re liv­ing in Canada and want to do some­thing about this issue, read the details on Michael Geist’s blog. He has a whole series on why he thinks the pro­posed new bill is not neces­sary (includ­ing items such as arrests being made under the cur­rent Copy­right Act, which would there­fore appear to give the police all the powers they need, and the need for more con­sulta­tion).
