Program Abstract: The closed door of open government: Creative Commons as a remedy for Crown copyright barriers
Open licensing of government publications is a laudable goal, but is rarely achieved in Canada. As a result, many government works have become inaccessible, or even been lost due to Crown copyright chill. This session will report on recent advocacy work to persuade Canada’s federal government to update an antiquated and undemocratic copyright provision. This includes parliamentary testimony provided by Creative Commons and other stakeholders. -
