What's the point of this again? I seem to have missed the email that
sparked this.
If it's to get them to endorse something with a view towards protecting
the public domain, and resisting the extension of copyright, forget it:
Pierre Berton and Margaret Atwood are typical members of the CanLit
gliterati: they don't mind pilfering the public domain, but God forbid
their works should ever enter into it. Atwood is very clearly in favour
of term extension; Pierre Berton seems to be tacitly so for reasons I
don't wish to disclose in public.
