More angst (completely reasonable angst) about the impending Canadian copyright changes. These changes will most likely make it even less likely that professors will be willing to share the educational materials they use in instruction. "Beneficial educational materials languish because authors don't want to risk being branded as plagiarists or copyright thieves -- simply because teachers do not have the time, resources or expertise to navigate the already arduous copyright regime. I would suggest that protection of copyright violation is a primary motivation for closed content models. A rationale that dare not speak its name." Lot's of other good stuff there and links to additional posts that are worth your time. -BD
