[d@DCC] DMCUA - Digital Millennium Creators and Users Alliance

[Russell McOrmond]

  Sorry to add another possibility to our list of names.  I also just 
created a WIKI page for our list.

  Susan Crean is dropping over here this afternoon and for supper to chat.  
While she has convince me that I too am a creators' rights advocate, the
methods we have chosen to reach our goals are quite different.

  What makes them different?  The only thing I can come up with is a 
generation thing.  She has been involved in copyright reform from the days 
when it really was just a group of intermediaries and special "user" 
groups like libraries.  This has now changed recently with digital 
creators and users that are part of the new millennium of creativity.

  Since we started out as the Canada Digital Millennium Copyright Act 
Opponents, having the new name have Digital Millennium in it just seems 
fitting.  The acronym of DMCUA is just one letter different than DMCA, and 
includes the alliance aspect of the Creators' Rights Alliance.
