There have been a number of responses, but here is one that I like: http://arielkatz.org/archives/3281 There are serious problems with the Pricewaterhouse report and I should point out that is was paid for by Access Copyright a collective similar to the CCC and owned by publisher and author groups.

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
