   For anyone who wasn't aware, information about these groups can be 
found at:

Digital Security Coalition
http://www.digitalsecurity.ca/

The Canadian Software Innovation Alliance (CSIA)
http://softwareinnovation.ca/
AKA http://www.cluecan.ca/csia/


   If we are to see a new Copyright bill tabled by the Conservatives, we 
need to ensure that these groups are active and able to present the message.
