Canada’s overzealous copyright law deprives us of our own cultural heritage

Canada’s extended copyright law delays public access to cultural works, limiting creative reuse. Without reform, Canadians risk losing their artistic heritage.

Keeping cultural works locked away for decades restricts access and stifles creativity. Reform is needed to restore public domain access.

    It’s just another example of Canada letting the U.S. dictate our IP laws to their media moguls’ benefit, for the sake of trade. These are the things Dumpster does not count in the balance of a deal yet presumes is entrenched even after reneging on that deal.

    If the deal is ripped up, it should be ripped up entirely.

    We’re being gifted more freedom to make sure our own laws are working for us.
