ACTA Meeting Expands to Full Week of Talks, All Participants
KEI is reporting that next week’s ACTA meeting in Washington has expanded beyond just a U.S. – E.U. discussion. Instead, it appears to be a full round with all participating countries, a full agenda, and a full week of talks planned. An agenda will apparently be published later this week.

Should Canadian Universities Walk Away From Access Copyright?
While fairness dictates that Canadian education must object to the Access Copyright tariff proposal to ensure that students are not asked to pay for uses that the law says do not require compensation, it may be time for the post-secondary education community to ask whether it should walk away from Access Copyright altogether. Note that I am not saying that creators should go uncompensated and that education should get a free ride. I repeat that it is fair dealing, not free dealing.
