How to Develop the Final Document  
Written by Brogar the 4 Aug 09 at 10:52. Global category: Copyright Consultation. New
We need to find a collaborative writing tool that will allow for the development of our final deliverable. It needs to be able to support many users and should be able to handle larger documents.

Mixed Ink is a possibility, I don't know enough about it to provide more details but wanted to get the discussion rolling.

Anti-circumvention  
Written by Brogar the 29 Jul 09 at 16:55. Global category: Copyright Consultation. New
Technological protection measures have been around for an awfully long time and are likely going to stick around.

How should Canada address these digital locks and the circumvention of them in the new act?

Solution #1: Allow Circumvention
Written by Brogar the 29 Jul 09 at 16:55.
Allowing the circumvention of digital locks in certain situations including research, education, and rightful ownership makes sense.

Solution #2: Solution #2: Bill C-60 Approach
Written by DFewer the 5 Aug 09 at 15:37.
Solution #1 is consistent with both C-60 and the DMCA approach. The problem with picking certain activities that are permitted to avoid a digital lock is that you replicate the work already done in the Copyright Act: we've already identified socially useful activities that do not infringe copyright. Why replicate that task in anti-circumvention?

This suggests that we adopt the C-60 approach - no liability for circumvention if done for a non-infringing purpose.

Breaking down the big questions  
Written by Brogar the 28 Jul 09 at 11:12. Global category: Copyright Consultation. New
The government proposed 5 big questions that are too broad to be proposed at single ideas.

1. How do Canada’s copyright laws affect you? How should existing laws be modernized?
2. Based on Canadian values and interests, how should copyright changes be made in order to withstand the test of time?
3. What sorts of copyright changes do you believe would best foster innovation and creativity in Canada?
4. What sorts of copyright changes do you believe would best foster competition and investment in Canada?
5. What kinds of changes would best position Canada as a leader in the global, digital economy?

Breaking these questions into smaller more focussed discussions might lead to better results.

There are two questions here, do we make sub-questions out of these big, board questions? If so, what form do these subquestions take?

Need an End Product  
Written by Brogar the 27 Jul 09 at 16:18. Global category: Copyright Consultation. New
The end product of these discussions should be decided early. Are we going to submit a proposal? A model act? A policy paper? A cartoon?

Solution #1: Policy Paper
Written by Brogar the 27 Jul 09 at 16:18.
We could submit a simple policy paper outlining all of the topics they asked that we cover and the ideas and solutions that were proposed here.

Solution #2: Model Copyright Act
Written by Brogar the 27 Jul 09 at 16:58.
We might submit an actual act. This would be a significant amount of work and it much less accessible to non-law types.

Solution #3: Report of ideastorm issues/solutions if there's a wide range of opinions
Written by kaplanmyrth the 14 Aug 09 at 16:17.
If this site gets a wide range of opinions that makes it hard to distill into a single policy vision, then it may still be useful to submit the results of this ideastorm as a report or even a dataset for further analysis.
