Canadian copyright book released

September 29th, 2005 by Gavin Baker

I mentioned this last month, but now it’s true: Michael Geist‘s new book, In the Public Interest: The Future of Canadian Copyright Law, has been published. Printed copies are for sale online and in Canadian retailers; it’s also available as a free, Creative Commons-licensed download from Irwin Law’s Web site. And all royalties will be donated to Creative Commons!

This is an important effort. It looks like a thorough review of Canadian copyright law — which should go a long toward letting Canadians know what’s at stake, particularly with Bill C-60 still hanging around.

Kudos to Geist and the authors, as well as Irwin Law, for making this come together.

    You can get all the pdf files in one simple download at IM2 | OQP. I also converted the files to text and html, might be more convenient that way.

    Thanks for mentioning that, Robin. I thought about making a .torrent of the pdf files but decided against it (too much work).
