Digital Security Coalition Issues Open Letter Calling for Balanced Copyright

(Covered by p2pnet)

Ottawa, ON – June 22, 2006 – The Digital Security Coalition, an alliance of Canada’s leading technology security companies, has released a joint open letter addressed to Bev Oda, Minister of Canadian Heritage, and Maxime Bernier, Industry Minister, calling on the Canadian government to adopt balanced copyright policies and to reject calls for extreme copyright laws. The open letter was released in response to ongoing lobbying efforts to convince the Canadian government to adopt extreme copyright laws that would make it illegal to circumvent technological measures protecting content, such as software, without the consent of the content copyright owner.
