Canada’s historical attempts to find a solution to intellectual property protection less draconian than the US DCMA would seem to now be in great peril – judging by the measures proposed in bill C-11, which can only be described as Fascist.
I doubt that we will ever see the open and rational discussion necessary to re-define the very substance and worth of ‘intellectual property’ in the digital age – the core of this whole matter. Unless the value of IP includes a consideration of its worth to society as whole, (not just individual ownership rights), we’ll never succeed at developing fair policy and regulations.
