Subject: In the Public Interest: The Future of Canadian Copyright Law
Dave,
Of possible interest - with the Canadian government nearing hearings
on proposed copyright reform, 19 Canadian copyright professors today
launched a new book examining the bill and copyright law in Canada
from a public interest perspective. I served as editor with the
contributing professors representing ten universities from across
Canada. In a first for major legal title in Canada, the book is being
published under a Creative Commons license with all royalties going
back to CC.
The book is divided into three parts. Part one includes three essays
that provide context for Canadian copyright law. Part two features
11 essays on the current legislative proposal with several pieces on
TPMs, education and copyright, and ISP issues. Part three looks
ahead with pieces on copyright term, user rights, fair dealing,
extended licensing, and crown copyright.
