They say they "received a large volume of initial comments," and unlike previous letters, which they always posted individually, these have been posted in Adobe PDF Portfolio view.
The Copyright Office recommends you download the files rather than viewing in a browser.
Go to the link above and you'll see 7 pdfs. The first, captioned "Direct Initial Comments" contains 358 letters that the Copyright
Office regards as directly responsive to the 5 questions they posed about current copyright law. The other letters are available in one of the 6 pdfs titled "General Initial Comments," and contain 2,244 letters.
Download the pdfs and open them. Be patient: this could take several minutes. An error message may pop up: ignore it and proceed.
When the file opens, it may appear to contain only one letter. Go to the menu at the upper left of the pdf
portfolio file and click on "Files." This will open a column with hundreds of names along the left hand side of the window.
The letters are listed alphabetically by the author's first name or organization name. If the letter you're looking for is not in the "Direct" comments pdf, look for it alphabetically in one of the remaining 6.
Throughout its long history, The Omni King
Edward Hotel has set the standard for luxury hotels in Canada. As Toronto’s first luxury hotel, it has long been the first choice of Toronto’s elite, as well as convention goers, political figures and business travelers.
Originally built in 1903 by Mr. George Gooderham – a developer and one of Toronto’s wealthiest men – at a cost of $6 million, the opulent hotel was intended to stem the tide of development that was moving toward the newly opened city hall at Bay and Queen
Streets.
At the time, the King Edward Hotel was not simply a luxury hotel. Boasting an art collection that would be worth more than $75 million today, it was an exclusive destination where men enjoyed port and cigars in sweeping parlors while ladies sipped tea in the hotel’s elegant sitting lounges.
In 1921, an 18-story addition made the hotel one of Toronto’s tallest buildings. The 17th and 18th floors featured a lavish social venue, the Crystal Ballroom, named
for its impressive crystal chandeliers. This stylish venue quickly became the place to see and be seen and served as the backdrop for countless society weddings, balls and dances.
Today, The Omni King Edward Hotel is proud to keep the legacy of “the King Eddy” alive. We treasure this unique gem and continue to work toward restoring and preserving a regal icon of Toronto’s history. - See more at:
