 An anonymous reader writes "The Globe and Mail reports that Canadian
law professors have countered the Canadian recording industry's
misinformation campaign in a new 600-page book that is being made freely
available under a creative commons license. Led by Professor Michael
Geist, the book provides full coverage of the possibility of Canada
adopting DMCA-like copyright laws." From the article: "The 19 copyright
law professors, in a peer-reviewed discussion edited by Ottawa lawyer
and Internet columnist Michael Geist, note that revisions to copyright
law in the past were largely the result of negotiations among copyright
stakeholders; today, however, the broader public is also demanding a
seat at the table. 'The public's interest in copyright something
inconceivable even a few years ago is the result of the remarkable
confluence of computing power, the Internet, and a plethora of new
software programs, all of which has not only enabled millions to create
their own songs, movies, photos, art, and software but has also allowed
them to efficiently distribute their creations electronically without
the need for traditional distribution systems,' the book says."
