Thank you for writing to express your views with respect to proposed changes to the copyright legislation.

I have seen many posts about letters to MPs, including one from Steve Woodrow to Joy Smith and one from "Freshwater Mermaid" to Jack Layton.

Please keep those letters going. This weekend is a great time to send letters so that MPs are well aware of the interest when the bill is tabled -- possibly on Monday.

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.

If politicians take tens of thousands of dollars from the industries they regulate, are independent artists, educators, librarians and the general public really going to get a fair shake? 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.
