Canadian Copyright Law: Free!
We’ve already told you about the Canadian Copyright Summit and Conference which starts today at 12:00 noon in Ottawa.
It’ll also feature the launch of In the Public Interest: The Future of Canadian Copyright Law, edited by professor Michael Geist and released by Irwin Law under a Creative Commons license, a first for a major Canadian publisher.
“And we’ve agreed to donate any royalties back to CC,” Geist tells p2pnet.
The book costs $50 and, “Hmm–is there an online version?” – asked Stief in a comment post. “Sounds like pretty essential reading, but by the time I finish reading it, I fear it will be out of date.”
No problem, Stief. Geist says the entire book can be downloaded for free.
And here’s a posting with more background.
