Today is the 20th anniversary of CCH (2004 SCC 13) where SCC stated that exceptions to copyright infringement (e.g. fair dealing) are not mere loopholes, they are "user rights", setting (c) law on a new trajectory in Canada that inspired many & resonates worldwide
@elonmusk Thanks for supporting the Internet Archive, @elonmusk, and our mission to preserve digital history. We all built this internet together, so let’s preserve it. #accesstoknowledge #EmpoweringLibraries @internetarchive
Yesterday, CDT, @publicknowledge, & @LibraryFreedom filed an amicus brief in Hatchette v. Internet Archive, a case crucial for continued existence of library Controlled Digital Lending (CDL), where libraries lend a digital rather than physical book copy. cdt.org/insights/cdt-f…
JUST ANNOUNCED: Join @KyleKCourtney & @jziskina of @library_futures to discuss their recent paper: The Publisher Playbook: A Brief History of the Publishing Industry’s Obstruction of the Library Mission. 📆 5/25 @ 10am PT 🔗 blog.archive.org/2023/05/05/lec… #DigitalRightsForLibraries

Looking forward to getting my ebook and audiobook of Red Team Blues by @doctorow I just kickstarted by copies! April 18th here we come. I love BUYING books in all formats. kickstarter.com/projects/docto…
Today’s lower court decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive is a blow to all libraries & the communities we serve. But it’s not over—we will keep fighting for the traditional right of libraries to own, lend, and preserve books. Learn more & take action👇 blog.archive.org/2023/03/25/the…
Interminable pause: Government must address harm caused by extension to copyright term thestar.com/opinion/contri…
The Canadian copyright term extension represents one of the very worst policy developments of 2022 as the government buried the reform in a budget bill, ignored its own copyright review recommendations, limited access to Canadian culture and history, and added costs to education.
The Canadian version of @KyleKCourtney and @DigLibCopyright’s excellent controlled digital lending (#CDL) paper was published today in @PartnershipJ! doi.org/10.21083/partn… A🧵 /1
