Canadian MPs might soon attempt to mess with our current copyright act. Stealing music has fueled the fight. Some people think it is OK to copy a friend's CD or trade mp3s. I don't. If I think the music is worth listening to, and if I don't like the price, then I will listen to something else.
If you want to learn more about digital copyrights and freedom to information from a Canadian perspective I recommend the blog of Prof. Michael Geist. He is Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa. In May 2006 TVO's Big Ideas published a very good talk he gave on the subject. Youtube also has a few of his talks.
Want to make change happen? Consider doing some letter writing - Geist has a list.
