imitation and flattery (intended or by default)

October 28, 2005

Lessig points us to Canada's CopyrightWatch.ca.

The site offers a wealth of insight and information on digital copyright law and a very familiar look and feel.

Note: Kubrick is the default style template of the personal publishing platform, WordPress, Copywatch's, platform of choice. Fairuseless.org, using the acclaimed MovableType, modeled itself after this elegant template.

Looking forward to seeing what this bright (and obviously more prolific) group bring to the mix. Cheers to our friends to the North!

Reuters.com: Music shipments down despite legal downloads rise

Even as we continue to transform ourselves and transition to the digital marketplace, the music community is still suffering enormously from the impact of various forms of music theft...

--Mitch Bainwol, chairman and CEO of the RIAA

And as previously stated here:

Every lost CD sale is chalked up to increased piracy, according to the RIAA, only leading the industry to develop more intrusive mechanisms for controlling content...

When is the industry going to look into itself and its members for the cause(s) of its current woes?
