Revolution advocated

Jean-Claude Guedon, professor at the University of Montreal, and an international expert on access to knowledge, said resistance to restrictions to copyright legislation is essential.
He pointed to the significant role of the open source community in redefining copyright laws, in particular, the transfer of rights. The freeware model is good because it maintains ownership and it provides universal access, he says.
He promoted a guerrilla war, saying knowledge can no longer be an issue of property. A new system need to be developed with flexibility rather than the current one-size-fits-all.
