Dear CopyNight Toronto:
Sorry for the radio silence in July! I'm back in town now - many
thanks to Todd & Damien for hosting in June. This month's
CopyNight happens to fall during the week of the first town hall
meeting on Bill C-61. If you're thinking about heading to
Coldwater on Thursday, or if you just want to catch up on what's
going on in Canadian copyright law, join us tomorrow for a drink!
Here are the details:
Where: Victory Cafe
When: 7 P.M.
Host: Ren Bucholz
(416 300 5316 if you get lost!)
If you want to know more about the C-61 town hall, see:

Hope to see you tomorrow!
Cheers,
Ren

General List Message:
Dear CopyNighters,
Labo(u)r Day is almost upon us. It's an election year in the
United States. You know what I'm getting at? That's right: someone
needs to go directly from the Democratic National Convention to
Burning Man, then shamble to the Republican National Convention in
Minneapolis. It would be the weirdest road trip in the history
of everything, guaranteed. And it would provide an opportunity to
ask Sen. Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic vice presidential
nominee, about his long history of voting the wrong way on
technology and copyright issues!
If you can't make the trip, you can wonder how it'd be over pints
at this month's CopyNight! Most chapters meet this Tuesday,
August 26th, in cities around the world. Be sure to check the
website for details on your local chapter, and shoot us an email
if you'd like to start something in your city!

issues, see this article:

Will McCain's VP-pick have a better record? Will people vote on
information policy issues? Will you? Lots of funs stuff to
discuss at this month's CopyNight - hope you can join us!
Cheers,
Ren Bucholz
