Are you a copyright criminal?

June14

Here’s some of the proposed penalties included in Bill C-61, the bill that contains proposed changes to Canadian copyright law:

  • $500 per downloaded song
  • No Fair Use rights for remix culture
  • $20,000 for uploading content (like on Youtube)

If you too are a copyright criminal take your picture with this photo plate and upload it to the Open Source Cinema site. You could also include the photo with a letter to your MP saying this bill sucks.

I’m a librarian who doesn’t read many books. I like figuring out how things work, why they break, and how to make them work better. Thankfully I get to do this for work. I am the Systems and Technical Services Librarian at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, but the thoughts and opinions here are my own.

I’m not an artist, but I like to make things. I’m tinkering with Arduino. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to make some of the things I imagine.

I’m passionate about access to information, open source, intellectual freedom, and coffee.
