[d@DCC] Anyone know about ArtistShare?

[Russell McOrmond]

  Quick glance it looks like a service like Lulu.com, only unlike Lulu it 
is based on proprietary software and charges up-front fees rather than 
percentages of revenues via the service.

  One thing that made me curious:
  http://www.artistshare.com/mod_main.aspx?s=50

    Recently I was contacted by a woman who was hired by the Canadian 
    government to write a paper on how to best reform Canadian copyright 
    laws.  She contacted me to tell me that she was citing ArtistShare as
    the main example of a model that should replace the existing copyright
    system in Canada. It was quite possibly the proudest day of my life.


  I'm curious if anyone knows who this person might be so we can contact 
them.  I don't see this service as all that unique from various other ISP 
hosting services that cater to creators who wish to release their own 
works online.
