The following is a resolution that the Nanaimo Cowichan NDP riding association is bringing to the national convention. This isn't necessarily going to be NDP party policy, but like many things the journey is as important as the possible destination. Having more people debate the type of policy in this resolution is always helpful.

I strongly support the parts are those which oppose the abuse of technical measures by copyright holders to circumvent our property, privacy and other rights. I also strongly support the suggestion that we should move to a fixed term of copyright from the date of creation or publication, rather than the countdown towards works entering the public domain being from the death of the author. We need to move towards always celebrating our creative citizens, not having policy which causes people to secretly wish these people would die younger.
