The Writers’ Union of Canada, under the leadership of Chair
Alan Cumyn, has produced its first video. Written by Alan and featuring
five writers, the video will be posted to YouTube and distributed
widely to express TWUC’s concerns about Bill C-32, an Act
to Amend the Copyright Act.
A press release announcing the video can be seen on TWUC’s
website at www.writersunion.ca.
The video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qrcNksj5DE
Please help us spread the word!

- Send the link to your friends and family.
Most importantly, send the link to the politicians below and to
your own MP. (You can find your MP’s email address by searching
at www.parl.gc.ca).
Include a cover note that could say something like:
I am a writer in __________(riding/city). I make my living
by selling my work and I have grave concerns about my continuing
ability to make that living if Bill C-32 is passed as written. I
am forwarding a link to a brief video that expresses the concerns
of writers like myself about the implications of Bill C-32. Please
make sure changes are made to get copyright right.
