    They are forming Free Culture groups on campuses to explain copyright 
    law to fellow students. Stressing its importance for culture and
    society, the group says copyright law is being abused. To illustrate
    their point, the groups hold remixing contests, promote open-source
    software and rally against legislation like the Induce Act, which
    would hold technology companies liable for encouraging people to
    infringe copyrights.

  This is exciting!  If anyone wants support to form such a group at
OttawaU or Carleton, please let me know if there is any way I can help
(website hosting, speakers, whatever).

  This reminds me of the excitement of the law students at OttawaU and
WindsorU creating http://www.canfli.org/
