Copyright Reform: yes, let’s go!
I am looking forward to seeing some of the copyright reform recommendations rolled out soon. If like me, you have tried to use the search functions to find copyright information for a photograph or any works, you know what I mean. You – like most of the Copyright Office users probably still have forehead bruises resulting from your head hitting a nearby concrete wall (or handy hard...
HackDay at the TinEye HQ
Did you know that we organize HackDays across Canada? Where awesome developers meet and build new application using APIs that we provide?
