- Bill C-61 (Canadian DMCA) at first reading
No sooner did I go out of town than the Conservatives introduced Bill C-61, the long-awaited copyright legislation. It's pretty much as we feared: giving the US corporations everything they want with only a nod to the rights of Canadians. Now would be a good time to write some letters. Michael Geist has been covering it in some detail. I'm somewhat out of touch myself, but quickly getting back to speed. Below I'll summarize my clause-by-clause skimming of the Bill, and in future postings I'll probably talk about what we need to do about it. Here's the Hansard transcript from when the Bill was introduced.
