Inaccurate Reporting
This should be front page news. As far as the CTV report, there are some inaccuracies. Bill C-61 is not a carbon copy of the U.S. DMCA, it’s worse. The download fines are per infringement, $500 for each content holder, i.e. 3 credits = $1500 x number of songs.
While it’s good to have mainstream media coverage. I wish some reporters would do their homework.
