The New Copyright MPs

Michael Geist reports that, "coming out of last night's election, 34 candidates who supported the copyright pledge during the campaign were elected - 11 Liberals and 23 New Democrats".

50 More Candidates Support Copyright Pledge as Liberals Show Support

The list of candidates supporting the Copyright Pledge has been updated on Monday the 6'th.

If your candidates aren't on this list, then ask them if they would take the pledge.

Tories targeting 40 key unheld ridings in Quebec, Ontario

A Hill Times article by Simon Doyle, Abbas Rana and Bea Vongdouanchanh documents the 40 Conservative targeted ridings. The in-paper version included a table of the ridings, and I've linked this article with the 40 ridings so people will know if they are one of them.

Please try to talk to all Candidates about copyright, but especially talk to the Conservatives in these ridings. It would be great if during this election that the Conservatives could find their "Charlie Angus" -- someone who can switch the party from being anti-technology/modernization to being an advocate.

The 57 Ridings that can Change Election's Outcome

Hill Times journalists Abbas Rana, Simon Doyle and Harris MacLeod have assembled a list of 57 ridings in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, where the parties won or lost by a margin of about five per cent or less in the last federal election. This is a superset of what Michael Geist called the Copyright MPs which won their riding by 10 percent or less in the last election and their riding is home to a university.

Public interest group Online Rights Canada is hosting a Balanced Meal event to coincide with the big-money/big-copyright/big-media lobbiests event for Sam Bulte.

So come out on Thursday, have a bite to eat, and find out how regular Canadians can get a seat at the copyright reform table.

Received from Neeraj Jain:

Music File-sharing:

;:File sharing itself should not be illegal. However, copyrights infringement should be. That includes duplicating copyrighted works without payment.

Educational Use of Internet Materials:

;:Any non-copyrighted material or material expressly allowed to be duplicated should be usable by all.

ISP Liability for copyright infringement:

;:ISPs should not be responsible for copyright infringement. This would be like holding a phone company responsible for illegal business conducted over the telephone!

Open Source Software:

;:I think the government should do what it can to cut costs while continuing to set a good example to all citizens. If open source software is less expensive and encourages the development of smaller more entrpreneurial business, then I think it would be a good thing.
