Canadian safe harbor ?
Hi Micheal
Can you clarify, please, what is the state of canadian law (or case law) regarding liability for user-genrated content. I know the DMCA proivides with a safe harbor for this (which mean its probably also in the WIPO’s “Internet treaties”, or is it?) but i’m assuming canadian law (which is older) does not specifically tackle this. I’m assuming that it might be tackled by another law (not the copyright act) or by case law but i admit to not knowing. Thx in advance.
