EU pushes Canada to drop first-sale principle for art

An Ars Technica article by Nate Anderson includes:

As part of a comprehensive bilateral trade deal it's working out right now with Canada, the EU has asked for a host of intellectual property changes: Canada will need to extend its copyright terms by another two decades, will need to ban the circumvention of DRM, will need to adopt a "making available right," and must implement a "new resale" right giving creators a cut of the money every time their work is resold in the future.

Just an important reminder for those Canadian and European activists who mistakenly believe that the backward-facing pressure on Copyright all comes from the USA.
