Michael Geist writes: CANADIAN GOV'T PAYS LOBBY GROUP TO LOBBY ON COPYRIGHT My weekly Law Bytes column reports on a Canadian government contract that provides financial backing to one group to lobby on copyright policy. The group, the Creators Rights Alliance, advised the Department of Canadian Heritage that the education community was "devoted to abolishing creators' rights on the Internet." The contract, potentially worth nearly $400,000, raises questions about the transparency and fairness of such public funding. Deeply strange for a government to lobby itself. By advancing falsehoods, no less. Great. You can read the Toronto Star version of Geist's column, or the Homepage version of it. 9:49:23 AM    comment []
