The Globe and Mail's Russell Smith has a column today that focuses on copyright and growing willingness of creators to adopt more flexible copyright approaches with their work. The column hits many of the right notes, including the conclusion that "this doesn't mean the end of all intellectual property; it just signals a sensible and productive opening up of a flawed and frustrating system. Let's hope more artists follow this lead. And maybe the big media companies will start to learn from us."
