Post by: TehBorken on Jul 05 06 09:40
 [h3]Canadian artists call for less copyright         [/h3]The Globe and Mail features a story on mounting concern from the Canadian artistic community about how copyright law is restricting their creative work. Hundreds of artists have jointed a coalition calling on the government to reject anti-circumvention legislation and to implement fair use provisions.

The story notes how groups such as CRIA have called for the destruction of works alleged to have infringed copyright while Toronto's Harbourfront has pulled a film based on copyright concerns.
