Simon Doyle, the Deputy Editor of the Hill Times, has just published his new book Prey to Thievery , through Lulu.com. The book, which is based on his graduate thesis, is a study of CRIA's lobbying efforts from 1997 through 2005. It provides a remarkable perspective on the power of the copyright lobby and the intensity with which it has pursued DMCA-like reforms. The book is a must-read for anyone who wants a behind-the-scenes look at copyright reform in Canada. For a taste of the book, see the excerpt posted this week at the Hill Times.
