Save the Date - Bill C-32 Copyright Book Launch Set for October 14th

By Michael Geist

ADVERTISEMENTS

I am delighted to report that the official launch for a new book on Canadian copyright reform that focuses specifically on Bill C-32 is set for October 14th in Ottawa. The peer reviewed book, which will be available in paper and electronically under a Creative Commons licence from Irwin Law, is titled From "Radical Extremism" to "Balanced Copyright": Canadian Copyright and the Digital Agenda.

I edited the book and contributed a chapter on the flexibility in implementing the WIPO Internet treaties. There are 20 chapters in all with contributors from across the country. These include Sara Bannerman (ANU), Carys Craig (Osgoode), Abraham Drassinower (Toronto), Daniel Gervais (Vanderbilt), Mistrale Goudreau (Ottawa), Greg Hagen (Calgary), Blayne Haggart (Carleton), Elizabeth Judge (Ottawa), Ian Kerr (Ottawa), David Lametti (McGill), Meera Nair (Simon Fraser), Mark Perry (Western), Tina Piper (McGill), Graham Reynolds (Dalhousie), Teresa Scassa (Ottawa), Mira Sundara Rajan (UBC), Myra Tawfik (Windsor), and Margaret Ann Wilkinson (UWO). The full table of contents can be found here.

We are planning a launch event at the University of Ottawa on Thursday, October 14th at 3:30. It will feature a panel on Bill C-32 with a number of contributors to the book. The event is free, open to the public, and includes a reception afterward. More details to follow.
