With the Harper government's plan for new copyright legislation expected imminently, Members of Parliament in certain ridings might do well to brush up on its implications — especially with buzz of a spring election.

They can start by checking out the work of University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist.
When Geist created a Facebook group last year for people opposed to what's expected in the legislation, he got a stunning 38,000+ members before you could say MP3. And most of them are young people.

Since then, Geist has done some number crunching and came up with a list he calls The Copyright MPs — Members of Parliament from all parties who won their seats by a small margin and whose ridings either contain or are near a university. His thinking is that changes to copyright laws — a red hot issue with so many students — could well be a strong motivator come vote time.

Only ten of the 27 names on the list are Conservative MPs, but of course it's Conservative legislation.
