Canada's Proposed DMCA-Style Law Draws Fire

litui writes "Michael Geist assesses the problems with new copyright legislation presented today. In short, it looks like unless it's heavily contested, Canadians are in for a worse piece of law than the DMCA." CBC News' story quotes one critic, Scott Brison, who warns that enforcing the anti-circumvention clauses of this legislation would turn Canada into a police state — which, considering the pervasive eavesdropping it would take to make sure that people aren't enjoying their rights to fair use (or "fair dealing") of hardware or media, seems like a fair prediction.

Fair Trade Coffee & Open Source Java

"When Starbucks grew from regional powerhouse to cultural phenomenon, there was one small problem: the coffee they sold did not jive with their brand. So much so that in 2000 they printed millions of pamphlets in the US explaining why it was that even though they really, really wanted to sell organic, shade-grown, fairly traded coffee, that due to lack of adequate supply, customers should be delighted that they were at least committed to finding a way to sell some fairly traded coffee somehow. Over time, Starbucks has offered more and wider varieties of fairly traded coffee, and while many fair trade NGOs continue to complain that Starbucks is not all the way there, they appear to be making progress (not without some back-and-forth).

Or at least the pre-eminent role The Armory Show had in the initial years following its 1999 launch. For 2008’s edition of the Armory bash, there were no less than ten satellite fairs, a bevy of panel discussions, the requisite slate of VIP shindigs, and coordinated events with galleries all across Manhattan—including a series of exhibitions mounted under the collective banner of Design Miami.

Japan Considers Fair-Use Clause Based on U.S. Copyright Law

The Japanese government's group in charge of copyright reform is proposing the addition of fair-use clauses similar to those found in the United States Copyright Law. The current Japanese Copyright Law requires permission from the copyright holders for any kind of copying or use, except for personal, library, or academic purposes. Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda's Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters proposes to expand these exceptions by considering other factors, including whether the copying or use is intended for non-commercial purposes and whether they influence the market or value of the original work.
