Canadian Politicians Answer Questions on Copyright
Russel McOrmand wrote to some potential political candidates in Canada about their views on copyright and has actually gotten non-form-letter-looking answers from two (Ottawa Centre NDP Nomination Candidates Write on Copyright).
Hi Russell, thank-you for bringing Lawrence Lessig's trenchant article to our attention.
Copyright is a fascinating area and one that needs our immediate attention. What is transpiring in Brazil is not that much different from what many media and communications workers face here in North America. Witness JonathanTasini taking on the New York Times and Heather Robertson's $100,000,000 class action suit against Thomson Corporation. Writers want to be in the position to choose whether or not their work is reproduced, whether verbatim or in derivative form, and they certainly want fair remuneration.
