Tuesday July 28, 2009

The Copyright Consultation website now features literal transcripts (and MP3 versions) of the first two roundtables held as part of the consultation. The Vancouver roundtable included the following participants:

Richard Brownsey, British Columbia Film
Paul Whitney, Canadian Urban Library Council
Danielle Parr, Software Association of Canada
Mira Sundara Rajan, Canada Research Chair on Intellectual Property Law, UBC
Richard Rosenberg, BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Association
Niina Mitter, British Columbia Library Association Copyright Committee
Elizabeth Rains, British Columbia Association of Magazine Publishers
Mary Henricksen, Arts and Culture Branch, Province of British Columbia
Lisa Codd, British Columbia Museum’s Association
Charles Lazer, Writer’s Guild of Canada
Bill Henderson, Songwriters Association of Canada
Margot Patterson, Canadian Association of Broadcasters
Stephen Ellis, CFTPA
Goef Glass, Vancouver Fair Copyright
Ian Boyko, Canadian Federation of Students

With such a large list, there was little time for discussion or follow-up debates. Each representative raised their concerns including fair dealing, DRM, crown copyright, and ISP issues.

The Calgary roundtable was smaller with only Industry Minister Clement in attendance along with the following participants:

Lee Webster, Canadian Chamber of Commerce
Catherine Campbell, Canadian Publishers Council
Peter Pilarski, Retail Council of Canada
Kay Shea, University of Calgary Students Union
Rob Thiessen, Canadian Library Association
Cynthia Rathwell, Shaw Communications
Gary Maavara, Corus Entertainment and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters
René Smid, Digital Alberta

stacked
Those lists are incredibly stacked with industry reps who support long copyrights, and most people do not in how they behave. The biggest stakeholders are the general public, and the majority of copyright "experts" can "go copyright themselves" as far as I'm concerned (present company excepted).

MP3?
If the audio recordings are on that site, they're well-hidden. Not that it's a particularly well-designed page to begin with, but we'll give them an A for effort.
