Canadian Artists stand up for users’ rights

April 26, 2006 By: DancingSamurai Category: Links

Michael Geist has the story; and it’s hit some of the usual suspects and some techy sites. It remains to be seen if it’ll make a sound in the MSM… but it’s encouraging.

Basically a lot of top-name Canadian artists are saying a) Suing music fans is stupid; b) DRM is counterproductive and dangerous; c) Canadian policymakers should enact legislation to help local, not international, artists and culture.

Sounds good to me!

UPDATE: This is also on The Globe and Mail!
