Fwd: Article on Canadian copyright consultations

[Ivan Chew]

This is new to me (or maybe I didn't pay attention earlier). A message
at the CC-International list alerted me to the Canadian govt initiated
public consultation on copyright in Canada.

Here's the official site: http://copyright.econsultation.ca/

From the FAQ:
http://copyright.econsultation.ca/topics-sujets/show-montrer/11
"1) Why is the government consulting on copyright? Why now?
The current copyright legislation was enacted in 2001. It is important
that any new legislation that is tabled not only reflect the current
technological reality, but is also forward-looking and can withstand
the test of time. The government is taking this opportunity to listen
to Canadians about what is important to them on copyright."

Dear all,

A Communia colleague forwarded this article about the government-run
consultation on copyright in Canada. It's written by long-time CC
friend, Cory Doctorow, and if I recall, a few Canadian members of this
list were also involved in the consultation.

Take care,
