CopyrightWatch debunks claims that the Copyright Act is old and outdated, likely to be a regular theme from Canadian DMCA supporters today. The posting notes that the legislation has been amended 41 times since 1921 (once every two years and two months). The current Act (not including changes from the CDMCA) contains 31,223 words. Only 574 of those words are unaltered from the 1921 Act.
