A good reference for those who are exploring 'intellectual property' law, especially in Canada. This page covers Canada's history with The Copyright Act and its many revisions.

Great site. I have been learning to use http://pressbooks.com/, which is also a free site for the creation of ebooks!

On the Exhange with Amanda Lang (a show about business that airs here in Canada) host Amanda Lang talks about a bill that is in the works to amend the Canadian copyright law in order to give politicians the right to use news materials in their campaigns. http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Business/The+Exchange+with+Amanda+Lang/ID/2549103895/?page=2

In the discussion of the Shockey & Eisen video in week 6 I mentioned a not-for-profit publishing model in which scientists band together to create a peer review journal that does not operate like current for-profit ones. I am glad to have found one in operation at http://www.plos.org/. Check it out. I don't know much about it yet other than the fact that it came out of a movement to stop the current model. According to wikipedia, in 2001 there was a petition for scientists to stop submitting their work to for-profit journals. While it went largely ignored, PLOS came to life as a result. http://www.plos.org/
