Michael Geist, all around Internet good-guy, has flagged this summer as the potential release of new, updated Canadian copyright legislation. If you recall, the Harper Government tried to release some very bad, industry driven, non-consultative legislation last winter. It was all about crushing fair use and helping record companies save their doomed industry. Thanks to Geist and a groundswell of popular support, this bad news bill was canned.
But, it’s coming back. It will probably be a little watered down, but still not the best option. Watch this space for updates.
