Pay Attention: Canadian remix culture under attack by CDMCA

Yes, Bill C-61. Ashamedly, I feel I haven’t discussed it on here as much as I should. Luckily, Michael Geist has reorganized his entire blog for learning about and engaging the bill’s life ahead. Please check it out until I get something more thorough up here.

Here’s a new user rights video from OpenSourceCinema that summarizes some of the implications. Starring Canada’s own Cory Doctorow, now less.

Enjoy it while it lasts, this style of remix culture (Girl Talk, anyone?) will be over.
