Copyright and the Web

This short paper is intended to stimukate discussion at a Commonweath of Learning online forum. The major message of the paper is that, "The education community in Canada is urging its federal government to consider an amendment to the Copyright Act to allow students and educators to make effective and legal use of publicly available Internet materials as part of a programme of learning." I don't think there should be an educational exemption. I think there should be a non-commercial exemption. Otherwise the right to copy freely simply becomes a tool used by established institutions to compete against new and innovative approaches to learning.
