[Fdu] Fw: [CACS] new Facebook page: STOP the Canadian university copyright disaster

[Peter Fitting]

>A new Facebook page providing critical information, discussion, and
> networking on the ongoing situation between Access Copyright and
> Canada's postsecondary institutions might be of interest to some on
> this listserv. Feel free to "like" the page, post and discuss content,
> and share the link (since, so far, sharing links is still a free
> reference activity, not - as the model license would have it - a
> monetized copying activity).

> As I'm sure many if not all on this listserv are aware, Access
> Copyright (AC) is pressuring Canadian universities and colleges to
> adopt a "model license" for blanket copyright clearance of
> photocopying on campus - but the license hurts students financially,
> flouts legal definitions of copying, and curtails academic freedom.
> And universities that don't agree to this license face an even more
> punitive tariff instead.

> Thanks for considering.
