In our view, legislative changes are not an option if the Government of Canada's publication licensing system is to be changed. That is the main argument I support.
If we want to avoid having to amend the act, we suggest not changing the term of copyright. Currently, copyright expires 50 years after the author's death. We have heard that this duration could be modified, but we suggest not touching it. This would avoid having to amend the act.
Otherwise, the safe harbour rules would have to be improved. For example, in addition to Wikipedia, we also have Wikimedia Commons, where we host user-generated content. If they violate copyright or other laws, we would not want Wikimedia to be responsible. Its users remain free to act freely.
