Item Crown copyright: More than just an outdated provision(2019-05-30) Wakaruk, AmandaPresentation at ABC Copyright 2019. Conference program abstract: Section 12 of the Copyright Act is at odds with the aims of Open Government and many government works have become inaccessible, or even been lost due to Crown copyright chill. This session will report on recent advocacy work to persuade Canada's federal government to update an antiquated and undemocratic copyright provision.Item Towards Reconciliation(2019-05-30) Nair, MeeraAs we remember Dr. Gregory Younging, we might also consider that Indigenous precepts underwrite the system of copyright as we have come to know it. Not only is the Copyright Act tri-jural, representing precepts of common law, civil law, and Indigenous law, but Indigenous traditions concerning creativity and property show more affinity to the lived experiences we attribute to those words.
