What a terrifying idea! As long as we're paid to work between 9 and 5 (or thereabouts), I don't think employers get to expect this. If they want to start paying us for 24 hours, well, I guess that's a different thing. I wonder if you could grieve this with a union: am I actually paid to be a stealth marketer in my off hours? I'd rather see the reverse: I sincerely hope my employer considers how I'm reflected in their policies and statements before they push them out. Before they put out a press release, I hope the question on the table is, "How will what we're doing here reflect on Rochelle?" That's the world I want to see.

Rational copyright laws would make things like fanfiction and fanart legal and would let instructors and librarians email content to students who need it without barriers. There are two camps (largely): people who know and realize how terribly restricted they are from doing really productive, helpful things, and people who don't have a clue and think that as long as they scan the image from the book themselves, they can re-publish it with attribution, and as long as there's a password lock on that copied article/song/movie, it's okay. Copyright =/= common sense. Sun, 6 Jun 2010 17:22:16 +0000 http://www.cbc.ca/spark/2010/05/new-copyright-laws-do-you-care/#IDComment78813935
