I only realized that today, April 30, is the deadline for making submissions to the Copyright Protection in the Digital Environment paper, as I went to bed last night. Now of course everyone knows most of the public consultations conducted by the Hong Kong Government are only done to allow them to claim that they have listened to the public, but without listening to what the public actually has to say.

Nevertheless, I felt that doing something is better than being a sitting duck for the money-grabbing “creative industry” cartels that the Government so desperately wants to please.

So here it is: my submission to the paper (PDF). I should’ve allowed more time for this; right now it still feels very rough.

However, while it seems more and more people are concerned this time around, knowing the HK Government I’m not getting my hopes up high.

PS. I’ve submitted via email a few hours ago but I have yet to receive an acknowledgement from them…
