The Chrystia Freeland François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 Pablo Rodriguez choice to extend copyright term without mitigation measures creates enormous harm to Canadian culture and costs to education. Make no mistake: this was a choice and there were alternatives. A thread… 1/9 michaelgeist.ca/2022/04/the-ca…

The government’s own copyright review examined the issue of copyright term extension in 2019 and concluded that registration would mitigate some of the disadvantages of term extension. Extensive study but committee recommendation rejected. 2/9 michaelgeist.ca/2019/06/the-au…

The government’s *own* Justice Minister David Lametti has been on record as supporting registration as a means of addressing the harms from lengthy copyright terms. Lametti regarded worldwide as a copyright expert. 3/9 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Students, teachers and librarians all called on the government to mitigate against the harms by establishing a registration requirement. This #Budget2022 policy creates real cost to Canadian education. Concerns ignored. 4/9 michaelgeist.ca/2022/04/the-ca…

Leading Canadian IP experts from across Canada confirmed that a registration approach was consistent with both international copyright law and trade law. Government claims to support evidence-based policy but rejected the evidence. 5/9 ic.gc.ca/eic/site/693.n…

And the costs of the Chrystia Freeland François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 Pablo Rodriguez decision are profound. A myriad of great Canadian authors kept out of the public domain for a generation. 6/9 x.com/mgeist/status/…

Canada’s historical record lost for a generation. Works from Diefenbaker, St. Laurent, Lévesque, Douglas, Robarts, Laskin and dozens more kept out of the public domain for decades. 7/9 x.com/mgeist/status/…

And for what? Canadian creators already get life + 70 in the U.S. As Bryan Adams went out of his way to note in his submission on reversion rights, the term extension in the CUSMA “does not put money in the pockets of most creators.” 8/9 x.com/mgeist/status/…

There was an opportunity to ensure creators who wanted term extension would get it, while also mitigating against harm to the public domain. Chrystia Freeland François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 Pablo Rodriguez chose to reject the approach, creating harms that cannot be undone. 9/9 x.com/mgeist/status/…

20 ans de vaches maigres pour la #culture #libre canadienne. 😫 20 ans de rançonnage au profit indu pour d'ayant-droits/affairistes privateurs des créateur(e)s décédés depuis plus de 50 ans. 😡 Honte au Parti libéral! 🤬 ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/19456…

Pour éliminer une nation, il ne suffit pas de violer ses territoires, tuer ses soldats, s'approprier ou détruire ses infrastructures et asservir sa population. Encore faut-il éliminer sa cultures et ses [savoirs] communs. 😳 #RussianWarCrimes #Ukraine via Le libraire
