Two Copyright Columns To Start the Week

By Michael Geist

I have two copyright-related columns out this morning.  The first, Fair Copyright Provides Prentice With Reform Roadmap, appears in the Hill Times (HT version, homepage version).  The column raises the same fair copyright proposals that I posted last week.  The second,  Copyright Reform a Potential Threat to Privacy, is my weekly Toronto Star column (Toronto Star version, homepage version).  It discusses last week's letter from Privacy Commissioner of Canada Jennifer Stoddart to Industry Minister Jim Prentice and Canaian Heritage Minister Josee Verner, warning that "privacy protections for Canadians would be weakened if changes to the Copyright Act authorized the use of technical mechanisms to protect copyrighted material that resulted in the collection, use and disclosure of personal information without consent."
