 Coolness: 93530 | Uh-oh...sounds like conservatives are fucking with consumers again
The legislation, Bill C-32, proposes enshrining in law some of the following measures: * The express legalization of format shifting, or the copying of content from one device to another, such as a CD to a computer or an iPod. * The express legalization of time shifting, or recording television programs for later viewing but not for the purposes of building up a library. * Allowing consumers to make a back-up copy of content to protect against loss or damage. * A YouTube clause that allows people to mash up media under certain circumstances, as long as it's not for commercial gain. * A "notice-and-notice" system where copyright holders will inform internet providers of possible piracy from their customers. The ISP would then be required to notify the customer that he or she was violating the law. The violator's personal information could then be released to the copyright holder with a court order. * ISPs and search engines would be immune from the copyright violations of their users. * A differentiation of commercial copyright violation versus individual violation. Individuals found violating copyright law could be liable for penalties between $100 and $5,000, which is below the current $20,000 maximum. * New exceptions to fair dealing that will allow copyright violations for the purposes of parody, satire and education. A key clause regarding the breaking of digital locks, however, could trump many of those other permissions. The bill would make it illegal for a person to crack a digital lock placed on a device, disc or file. It would be illegal to copy a CD or digital song sold with copy protection on it, for example. A television broadcaster could also air a program with a code inserted into it that would prevent it from being recorded, or that would delete it from a PVR after a certain amount of time. It would be illegal for consumers to attempt to circumvent those codes. Read more: [ www.cbc.ca ] discuss... |

 Coolness: 201260 | I've been following this for a while. This actually has a few GOOD elements. The right to parody and remix is explicitly included, which is new in Canada and something we have sorely needed.
The digital lock part is ridiculous though, and I'd have to fight it on that basis. |
