While I was gardening earlier I heard a lot of bleating so snuck down the footpath and found a little gang of lambs had discovered the stream through their field and were taking great delight in gambolling down to it then back up, down, up, etc…

In turn I took great delight in watching them.

Boing boing boing!

Canada’s overzealous copyright law deprives us of our own cultural heritage https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/march-2025/copyright-law/

Keeping cultural works locked away for decades restricts access and stifles creativity. Reform is needed to restore public domain access.

Canada’s overzealous copyright law deprives us of our own cultural heritage

Canada’s extended copyright law delays public access to cultural works, limiting creative reuse. Without reform, Canadians risk losing their artistic heritage.
