Submission from Marcia Wilbur received on September 13, 2001 via e-mail
Subject: CPCDI
To Industry Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Intellectual Property Policy Directorate and other concerned agencies:
Thank you for the opportunity to express my concern about the Consultation Paper on Digital Copyright Issues (CPCDI).
The Digital Millennium Copyright in the USA was initiated because of the WIPO treaty. The WIPO is only three decades old.
Violating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee of freedom of speech is a worse evil than bypassing encryption. How old is your charter? Older than three decades?
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights may also be violated in entering verbage into CPCDI which restricts bypassing copy controls. In 1974, the WIPO became a specialized agency of the United Nations.
At the UN, does one hand know what the other is doing?
I plead with you to remove any intellectual freedom restrictions from the CPDCI.
Thank you,
Marcia Wilbur
