Canadians — send a short and very clear email to your government to say no copyright extensions

The public domain belongs to the people!

Dear friends,

Without the public domain, Project Gutenberg Canada would not exist today. But the public domain is once again under attack.

The "free trade" talks underway with the Trans-Pacific Partnership could well result in a twenty-year extension to copyright terms in Canada. Why should foreigners make our laws? Tell the government to respect your rights! The Trans-Pacific Partnership must not increase copyright durations in our country — send an email to your government to make sure that this does not happen!

And why not send a copy of this email to your Member of Parliament?

Together, we will win this battle, for ourselves, for our fellow citizens, and for future generations!


Canadiens — envoyez un courriel court et clair à votre gouvernement pour leur dire : ne prolongez pas la durée du droit d'auteur

Le domaine public appartient au peuple !

Chers amis,

Sans le domaine public, Projet Gutenberg Canada n'existerait pas. Mais le domaine public est actuellement menacé.

Un accord de «libre-échange» avec le Partenariat transpacifique risque de vous enlever 20 ANS de VOTRE domaine public. Nous n'acceptons pas que des gouvernements étrangers nous imposent leurs lois ! Canadiens, réclamez vos droits ! Envoyez un courriel au gouvernement pour leur expliquer que vous n'acceptez pas que des pays étrangers se servent de l'accord du Partenariat transpacifique pour prolonger la durée du droit d'auteur au Canada !

Et n'oubliez pas d'envoyer ce courriel à votre député fédéral !

Ensemble, nous pouvons remporter une grand victoire pour nous, pour nous concitoyens, et pour les générations à venir !
