I'm glad to hear of more interest in free culture in Canadian schools. Here at the University of Ottawa, FC has a foothold in the law school, though student turnovers is fast and the workload can keep people away from extracurricular activities.
Still, the Law & Technology Student Society (www.ltss.ca) is gearing up for this year and one of their first events is a screening of Good Copy Bad Copy. If anybody here is in Ottawa and wants to join them, feel free to contact them through their website for details.
