Copyright Canada Op-ed

Charles Moore, a freelance writer whose work has appeared in dozens of magazines around the world, pens an op-ed in the Saint John Telegraph-Journal on the copyfight in Canada.

I really liked this part:

Copyright is merely an arbitrary and mutable legislative construct. Digital technology has made traditional copyright law largely unenforceable, and like it or not, sharing (or, depending on your politics, "stealing") music has become a way of life for millions.

Heavy-handed "cures" like Bill C-61 enacted at the behest of industry interests almost certainly will be worse than the alleged disease in terms of stifling culture-building and technological innovation.
