I was interested to see this short article:

Canadian Copyright Modernization Act: Chronicle of a Disaster Foretold

http://publishingperspectives.com/2016/10/canadian-
copyright-modernization-act-chronicle-disaster-foretold/#.WAhzuph97gE

It goes like this:  "November 7, 2017, will mark the fifth anniversary
since the Copyright Modernization Act came into force in Canada. But
the act has brought enormous disruption to the book economy, which is
based largely on the intangible capital that is copyright. For many
Canadian authors, creators, and publishers, this act has been nothing
short of a disaster."

Any folks on the list who can comment or have a perspective on the
above statement?  It certainly caught my attention.

Thank you, Ann Okerson
