Canadian Museums for Balanced Copyright Reform

MICHAEL GEIST
Add two more major groups to the call for balanced copyright reform. The Canadian Art Museum Directors Organization (CAMDO), a professional association of art gallery and museum directors, has issued yet another public call for copyright reform that focuses on fair uses and avoids anti-circumvention legislation. The CAMDO letter was apparently inspired by the Appropriation Art coalition, which brought together hundreds of Canadian artists in a call for balanced copyright. Moreover, the Canadian Museums Associations (CMA) has also lent its name to this issue, joining the Appropriation Art coalition.
