Copyright Reform is Not a Spectator Sport

University of Ottawa law prof/copyright fighter Michael Geist writes in a commentary of November 2004 "Bulletin Online" of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) :

The education community has the opportunity to emerge as a positive force for change by actively supporting a uniquely Canadian vision of copyright that compensates creators, facilitates access & embraces Canadian culture. Michael Geist argues it is time to get in the game.

Canadian Musicians call for ANOTHER update on copyright law

Via CTV.ca . (I saw this on the Telly) Also here's the same news reported by the CBC and Canada.com

There were a few intersting quotes that stood out for me, 1)implying the the Canada Copyright was out of date and "third world";2) the industry is being destroyed.

Some of Canada's best-known musicians appeared on a different stage Wednesday -- Parliament Hill -- to band together and lobby politicians to toughen up Canada's outdated copyright laws.

The musicians say the industry has hit a low note because of Internet piracy and bootleg CDs. The musicians, who included Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy and rocker Tom Cochrane, say the Copyright Act, which was drafted in 1908, is ill-equipped to address the issues of the 21st century.

"We're basically like a Third World country right now, with our copyright law," said Cochrane.

Graham Henderson, who heads the Canadian Recording Industry Association, says the Act has massive loopholes. He says it's damaging the industry, the economy and the careers of artists.

"Downloading, file-swapping, peer-to-peer networks -- these are all euphemisms for piracy, pure and simple. It is devastating to the Canadian music industry.''

Henderson says the recording industry has seen music sales drop almost $500 million in just a few years. That's about a quarter of a million records a month.

The industry tracked illegal downloads of the Tragically Hip music for one month. They found 2.8 million attempts to download the music, compared with 1,000 legal purchases through the online music store Puretracks.

Cochrane says their fight is not about money; it's about what's right.

"I don't want the press to spin things like: 'Here's rich Jim Cuddy and rich Tom Cochrane coming along to make more money.'" Cochrane said. "We're here because it's a right, it is stealing."

Marianne Goodwin, a spokeswoman for Heritage Minister Liza Frulla, said the minister met early Wednesday with representatives of the musicians and discussed the issue.

Goodwin said her office is working on copyright reform as recommended by a joint report from the Heritage and Industry departments. The plan is to seek authority from cabinet this fall to begin drafting amendments.

But Prof. Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law and a law professor at the University of Ottawa, disagrees with the musicians that there's a problem with music downloading.

He says millions of music lovers don't download and doubts online music swapping is putting much of a dent in the industry.

"File sharing is certainly here to stay and the lawsuits and attempts at new legislation are attempts to put the toothpaste back in the tube."

There is a discussion thread over on Digital Coypright Canada, from which I've gleamed a few interesting facts, here and here:

• Althought the orginal Copyright act in Canada dates from 1908, it was it was updated as recently as the spring of 2004, and had made major changes made in 1997 because of recording industry lobbying (this is when downloading of music from P2P networks became legal in Canada, as well as creating a levy on blank media that goes to the industry).


• It's claimed that music sales may have dropped by a third in a few years, but most of that drop was in 2001-2002, when sales of just about everything dropped dramatically.If we look at the most recent sales statistics, we see that Canadian CD sales have been increasing (by 2% in 2003-2004), not decreasing. Also various other reports on the impact of downloading have questioned the music industries claims

Maybe the real reason for all of this (via Canada.com): The artists, members of the Music in Canada Coalition, also noted that the three-year, $95-million Canada Music Fund expires this year. They called on Ottawa to provide long-term sustainable funding to the music industry.

But it's not about " rich Jim Cuddy and rich Tom Cochrane coming along to make more money."

Category:CopyRight

Update: from November 26 2004 "UK Music Industry Sees Record Sales" via SlashDot.org : "Despite the claims of gloom and doom from the BPI (the UK equivalent of the RIAA) the BBC is reporting that 'UK record companies are celebrating their best ever year for album sales, with a record 237 million sold in the 12 months to September...also said sales of single tracks were up thanks to the availability of legal download services.' It looks like music sales will continue to climb if the customers get something they like. The article also discusses adding music downloads to the charts."

Ship High In Transit

Via Despicable Horses :Historical information you need to know about shipping Manure:

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship. It was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas.

As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks, and the first time someone came below at night, with a lantern, >BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term, " Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T," which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

I would love to verify this, but too funny!

The Pillsbury Doughboy Died

Via craigslist.org: The Pillsbury Doughboy Died

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died
yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications
from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens
of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth,
the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the
Hostess Twinkies, and many others. The graveside was
piled high in flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima
delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who
"never knew how much he was kneaded".

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later
life was filled with many turnovers. He was not
considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his
dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty
old man, he was a roll model to millions. Doughboy is
survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two
children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at
350 for about twenty minutes.

But it has also been announced that as of Jan. 1, 2005, all fish served raw, or semi-raw, must first be frozen or purchased from a wholesaler that has frozen the fish, and restaurants will have to prove that their fish has been frozen.

Some sushi chefs met with the bureaucrats to contest the new regulation, but it has not been rescinded.

The Truth about Copyright Revision in Canada

The fine folks a Digital CopyRight Canada have produced "The Truth about Copyright Revision" (pdf,English and French versions) explaining in plain language the cost the proposed change would have :

The truth is that these proposed changes would drain millions of dollars from Canada’s provincial education systems, threaten national security research and personal privacy, harm Canadian culture by enlarging the billion dollar Canadian culture deficit, and put Canadian business at a competitive disadvantage. The committee spent little time debating the issues, and ignored concerns voiced by public interest advocates. Facing growing pressure from predominantly U.S. interests, Parliament is moving rapidly to embrace dangerous new rules.

and alternate principles:

Do No Harm – Considered Copyright -Canadian Laws Must Serve Canadians

Ottawa's copyright plans wrongheaded, experts say

Another article in today's Globe and Mail titled “Ottawa's copyright plans wrongheaded, experts say” by columnist Jack Kapica further describing the recommendations to Change Canada's copyright law:

I love/hate this quote:

"The committee's premise is that all work on the Internet is someone's property. You can read it or listen to it, but unless there is an explicit legal notice saying the material can be used, you would not be permitted to save a copy to disk or print it out without paying a copyright collective such as Access Copyright."

Bad, bad, bad....

It goes beyond the problems with the "terminate and takedown" notice.

Looks like they want us to pay a access fee (like the CD levy) to do want we current do for free, under the assumption the we must be infringing on someone property rights.

Another site is mentioned FairCopyright.ca is mentioned, maintained by Laura Murray, a Queen's University English professor, a resource for Canadians, especially teachers, students, and creators. It aims to explain copyright law clearly and fairly.

More On Saving Canada's Internet from WIPO

Also for a great review of the history of Copyright see a video of Cory Doctorow’s talk at iBiblio/UNC.

Cory responds on Boing Boing with a deft analaysis:

even if you pay the levy for the use of copyrighted works on the Internet, you won't get the right to share music, or download movies, or use screenshots in your PowerPoint presentation
...
The report that Heritage delivered is a one-sided smear against the Internet and a naked grab for a few giant copyright holders at the expense of new entrants to the market and the general public
....
If Canada is going to extract a levy from Canadians, then Canadians should get soemthing in return: unlimited access to noncommercial, educational, and archival use of copyrighted works on the Internet. A levy without something in return is just an exercise in picking your pocket -- and you shouldn't stand for it.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Save Canada's Internet from WIPO

Cory Doctorow writes about Boing Boing: Save Canada's Internet from WIPO, following up on the Slashdot notice of this Globe and Mail (Globetechnology) article on The standing committee on Canadian Heritage recommendation that Canada must ratify WIPO Copyright Treaty.

Cory describes the problem, particularly "Notice-and-takedown is an area where WIPO got it drastically, terribly wrong.", and why: notice-and-takedown is a guilty until proven innocent approach, where the ISP does the deed or chance being punished as well; it is also a near-perfect tool for censorship. "The takedown notice is the favorite tool of the crank, the censor, and the bully."

Also he suggests writing to your MP, writing to the Ministers -- contact info here.

The email address for: the Heritage Committee: HERI@parl.gc.ca ;Heritage Minister Liza Frulla (head of the committee): Frulla.L@parl.gc.ca ;The web site for the Heritage Committee (and a List of Committee members ) and The list of members of the House of Commons, here

Other links worth exploring: Chilling Effects; Digital Copy Right Canada (including their list of links and Jargon);and Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC)

Solutions that approach the Internet as a problem are no solutions at all.

Updates: I should note this great quote from Cory :

The Internet has one overarching feature that makes it superior to the technologies that preceded it: it can copy arbitrary blobs of data from one place to another at virtually no cost, in virutally no time, with virtually no control. This is not a bug. This is what the Internet is supposed to do.

Darren Barefoot has a suggest for your email/letter to your MP and the Minister, and links to a on-line petition started by Will Pate to "Save Canada's Internet from WIPO".

Digital CopyRight Canada posted a very good summary of the recommendations from this report, and a link to the report in question.

another update: Cory has a update and a friendly Anonymous commenter (below) links to a real paper petition to Parliament. Print it out, sign it (ask friends, family, cow-orker and strangers to sign) and mail it in. 'cause hard copy carries more weight with your MP's
