Rewriting Canada's Copyright Law
,----[ Quote ]
| At some point over the last 10 years, copyright became a sexy topic. An issue
| that was once purely the domain of lawyers, politicians and record industry
| executives has seeped into the consciousness of everyday Canadians — people
| who feel that something just isn't quite right about the way copyright works
| in this country.

War on Sharing: RIAA moves to block new FSF court brief
,----[ Quote ]
| In response to our proposed revision of our amicus curiae brief in the
| Tenenbaum case, the RIAA is attempting to block our submission to the court,
| saying, "...FSF’s latest brief demonstrates even more strikingly the deep
| animus FSF and its counsel hold for Plaintiffs, their counsel, and the
| recording industry. Such a biased organization cannot properly assist the
| court in providing neutral information and analysis."

RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| In their proposed response, the RIAA lawyers personally attacked The Free
| Software Foundation, Ray Beckerman (NewYorkCountryLawyer), and NYCL's
| blog, 'Recording Industry vs. The People'. The 9-page response (PDF) — 4
| pages longer than the document to which it was responding — termed the FSF an
| organization 'dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying,
| redistribution, and modifying computer programs', and accused the FSF of
| having an 'open and virulent bias against copyrights' and 'blatant bias'
| against the record companies.
