The University of Ottawa Law and Technology Journal has published online my “Property Enforcement or Retrogressive Measure? Copyright Reform in Canada and the Human Right of Access to Knowledge”, which I wrote a number of years ago. You can access it here via SSRN.

The article is by now a bit dated on the part related to WIPO’s Development Agenda, but I still subscribe to all of its points. And though the article refers to an earlier process of copyright reform in Canada (that of Bill C-60), I believe its ideas may still be timely and useful in the context of the other, ongoing process — that of Bill C-32.
