 30 Days of DRM: Suggestions to moderate a Canadian DMCAElizabeth Gonsiorowski, Brooklyn Law School, September 08, 2006
Abstract: In light of the Canadian Parliament's upcoming fall session, Prof. Michael Geist, a Law Professor at the University of Ottawa, has taken on a project to highlight public-interest exceptions that should be addressed if Canada enacts a law like the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Prof. Geist's project, 30 Days of DRM, opened a month before the Canadian Parliament is scheduled to begin its fall term. Each day adds a new topic with suggested exceptions or limitations to anticircumvention -- such as circumvention rights for libraries or educational institutions. The project is supported by a wiki where visitors can add their own suggestions. So far, Prof. Geist has addressed issues such as interoperability, reverse engineering and privacy. |
