They Indeed Have Gone Crazy (feat. Josee Verner)

by Canadian DMCA Unspun

Description:
This clip shows how the new Copyright Bill C-61 threatens ordinary creators instead of protecting them. We are part of the new but very old culture, read-write culture. It’s a culture, where people participate, build and re-build on top of it. This form of culture has existed since the beginning of human society all the way through the present, except for one century – the twentieth. Now, the law is trying to exercise control over the participatory culture via digital locks and predatory legal actions. Starring: Josee Verner (Minister of Heritage, Conservative), Lawrence Lessig and a journalist at press conference. Based on “Places of my mind” by Antonio Ancora. Cover picture by CBC.
