While some people may be taking a breather with the arrival of summer, commentary on Bill C-60 continues to trickle in.

The paper features Copyright Changes Both Right and Wrong today in which Bowman supports the approach to ISPs, but criticizes the weak educational and library provisions. Bowman concludes that "the interests of large industry groups and creators of copyrighted materials have been better protected in the Bill.
