[Announce] Mr. Angus tables petition signatures to protect Information Technology property rights!

[Russell McOrmond]

   Mr. Charlie Angus, member for Timmins-James Bay, just tabled the first 
batch of signatures for the Petition to protect Information Technology 
property rights. He managed to read nearly the entire text of the petition 
into Hansard, and I believe that by doing so will alert other MPs to these 
critical property rights issues!

   I will be adding a link to the Hansard, as well as copying the full 
transcript of what he said, into the article at 
http://www.digital-copyright.ca/node/3841 when it is made available 
tomorrow.

   Please keep those petition signatures coming in, as they are making a 
difference to the dialogue on digital copyright and technology ownership 
issues in parliament.
