Doing my part in the Copyright fight
I’ve talked about the need for balanced copyright for many years, but we’ve never seen this much public engagement in copyright. That is because the real story is that copyright matters to people and they now have the tools to make their voices heard. I’m thrilled to have played a role in raising awareness, but the real credit goes to the thousands of people who took the time to write or call their elected representatives, to blog about the issue, to attend the Toronto or Calgary events, or to raise awareness with their friends, family and community.
I’ve been doing my part. On Monday night I sent a letter to my MP, James Moore, whom I talked to at his open house on Saturday. He said that he would pass on my concerns to the Minister of Industry. I’ve also managed to sign 16 people up to the Facebook group.
