Dear CopyNighters,

Thanks everyone for attending May's inaugural CopyNight.  Tomorrow, June
27th, is your next chance to talk tech and information policy.   Like last
time, it’s being held at The Royal Oak (on Laurier) at 6pm and everyone is
welcome.

The suggested theme for this month’s Copynight is:  Competing Interests:
Making Copyright Fun vs. Making Fun of Copyright.

Below are some “fun” copyright-related links.

Exhibit A – Captain Copyright
Have you seen the Captain Copyright (www.captaincopyright.ca) website?   If
not, you might be interested to see that he even tries to give a
kid-friendly explanation of moral rights:
“A creator’s right to be associated with his or her work; the right not to
have the work used in a way that offends the creator; and the creator’s
right to the integrity of the work (for example, a sculptor has the right to
decide if his or her sculpture can be painted). Moral rights cannot be
transferred to anyone else. However, the creator of a work can decide not to
exercise his or her moral rights.”

Exhibit B -- Bound By Law? Tales From the Public Domain.

Law professors Keith Aoki, James Boyle and Jennifer Jenkins co-wrote and
produced the comic book Bound By Law? Tales From the Public Domain. It
explores the legal barriers documentary filmmakers in particular must
hurdle, or simply avoid. A free digital version is available online:
