Abstract
In 2007 and 2008 there was a hard fought campaign against proposed changes to the Canadian Copyright Act, changes which would have privileged producers and owners of copyright over users. Particularly notable about the campaign was the following: 1) It was organized primarily by means of Web 2.0 tools, in particular, Facebook; 2) It was about copyright normally a subject of little interest to the public. Why the uproar over copyright? Why were Web 2.0 tools the preferred means of political activism? How were these tools used? With what success? What are the limitations of Web 2.0 tools in online campaigns? The fall 2008 federal election prevented passage of the legislation but the Harper government has promised to revive it this spring. Will it? This presentation examines these questions

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
