It appears that Canada may make some moves on the copyright front as it applies to downloading of material on the Internet.

Each other? I hope they know that! Really though i don't see any examples of us being that backward.
I'm confused, I could see how this would hurt you if your in the selling books and studies business, but as an artist and wood turner this wouldn't affect you unless you've found some way to magically download wood?
Maybe I'm just naive.
Even if you were in the books and studies business. This would only allow educators who paid for your materials, to redistribute to their students, not to the general public. (Mayhap you want to start putting together an educators kit, if you have allot of people reusing your material?) This law would let educators use pictures from your website when they are talking about what to do and what not to do, not let them repeat your content verbatim. Unless of course your content was completely made up entirely of Public Domain Knowledge. IMHO

But you can download plans, and pictures and "use ideas"...
Educators download and use plans all the time. So issues can arise there. This applies to clubs as well.
I did not say I support what's being done. Rather I see it as a problem
-- as I believe that you do.
Laws like these would generate arguments and create problems well perhaps solving others.
The point is that there are no easy answers -- only increasing complexity.
But this has been beat to death...
