Bonjour à tous,

Prière de m'excuser de spammer la liste avec du matériel qui n'est pas
directement relié à Ubuntu.

Par contre, il est important de comprendre que s'opposer à la réforme du
droit d'auteur canadien est le geste d'activisme pour l'Open Source le
plus important à poser en ce moment.  En effet, on s'attend à ce que la
réforme en question introduise un certain nombre de dispositions qui
pourrait rendre la vie des utilisateurs et des développeurs d'Open
Source très difficile, en criminalisant la pratique du
"reverse-engineering", par exemple.

C'est le temps de se faire entendre.  Maintenant ou jamais.


Cordialement,

Montreal's technology and creative communities are mobilizing against a new federal bill to restrict creators' and consumers' rights to use digital media.

On June 12th, 2008, Industry Minister Jim Prentice will introduce the amendment to the Canadian copyright act, commonly called "the Canadian DMCA". The bill was crafted under pressure from American media cartels, and it's expected to have a chilling effect on free expression and free speech in this country. It will restrict Canadians from freely using their computers and other devices to save, store, and play their legally-purchased media.

The Montreal Chapter of Fair Copyright for Canada is holding an emergency action meeting to respond to the new bill. We'll have information for citizens to learn more about the Canadian DMCA, and materials for writing and sending letters to MPs asking them to oppose the bill. Talks by Fair Copyright for Canada leaders, including a phone call from Michael Geist.

Come meet others in the Montreal area who want a balanced, fair copyright system that works for all Canadians.

-Evan

P.S. Please pass this invitation along to people you might think are interested! The bill was announced yesterday, introduced today, so we're on very short time frame to have a strong community response. Let's get the word out!
