July 23, 2009: A Note from Access Copyright Regarding Upcoming Copyright Consultations
As you may already be
aware, in the coming weeks, the Government of Canada will be hosting a
nationwide consultation on copyright modernization. This presents a
critical opportunity for Canadian creators and publishers to have their
say on copyright and its implications in our increasingly digital
environment - issues that directly affect creators' livelihood.
Access
Copyright is strongly encouraging creators and member organizations to
take part in this event by participating in these consultations.
There
are a number of ways in which you can get involved, including an online
submission centre, a discussion forum, or by attending one of the town
hall meetings, live, or via interactive webcast.
Two
town hall meetings are scheduled (one in Montréal on July 30, and one
in Toronto on August 27), both hosted by Minister Tony Clement and
Minister James Moore. Interested participants can attend the meetings
live or over the Internet via interactive webcast. This means that
Internet users can submit comments and questions in real time from
their computers.
Space is limited so we urge you to register as
soon as possible. Registration, FAQs and more information on the
meetings is available by clicking here.
