Actions for Artists

Here are some suggestions for those involved in the Arts.

Members of CARFAC / RAAV
Demand that CARFAC / RAAV publically support artists who use appropriation.
They are mandated to support all artists.
Demand that CARFAC / RAAV publicly denounce DMCA style legislation.

Media Artists
Media artists are likely to be the hardest hit of all. The new legislation will all but eliminate media arts which use appropriation. Media artists have both the skill and technology to produce films and audio work. Make a protest piece and get on youtube, myspace etc.

Educators
Get your students invoved. Students are the future of Canadian Culture and have in many ways the most to lose from this legislation.
