Can't afford the Copyright Cartel's big banquet? Join Online Rights Canada for a Balanced Meal instead.
On January 19th, the Copyright Lobby is putting on a fancy banquet to generate political donations for a friendly MP. They might be doing it because they're nice, or perhaps they're feeling generous because of the influence they expect to gain once the night is over. But no matter what their motivations, the event presents a startling picture: copyright interests contributing thousands of dollars to a politician who sets policy for their industry.
This link can't be ignored, especially in a year when Canadian copyright is likely to undergo its biggest revision in decades. 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.
