By admin on Mon, 04/23/2012 - 23:46
Canada Post has filed a lawsuit against GeoCoder.ca over GeoCoder’s crowdsourced ’Canadian Postal Code Geocoded Database’. The case will involve complicated questions over the extent of copyright and ability of copyright infringement to be filed against independent production.
This case highlights attempts by copyright holders to ever expand the scope of their ‘rights’ at the expense of the Canadian public.
GeoCoder is accepting donations for their legal defense fund at their website.
