copyright, privacy
If you’re interested in privacy and copyright issues, it may be a good idea to keep Intellectualprivacy.ca bookmarked and ready at your fingertips. They just sent a letter and background paper to the Ministers of Canadian Heritage and Industry calling for:
1. any proposed copyright reforms will prioritize privacy protection by including a full privacy consultation and a full privacy impact assessment with the introduction of any copyright reform bill;
2. any proposed anti-circumvention provisions will create no negative privacy impact; and
3. any proposed copyright reforms will include pro-active privacy protections that, for example, enshrine the rights of Canadians to access and enjoy copyright works anonymously and in private.
The letter was co-signed by, among others, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Canadian Federation of Students, and the Canadian Association for Open Source. It was only one of several, apparently, that are part of a campaign being run by the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) at the University of Ottawa. More on this story here.

The letter is apparently one of several and part of a campaign being run by the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) at the University of Ottawa. More info on this story here. The CFS has a pretty good fact sheet on copyright, though it might be a bit dated.
