The CRTC recently wrapped up a two-week hearing on the Online Streaming Act that featured most of the usual suspects, though notably not the large streaming services. The Commission grappled with foundational issues such as modernizing the definition of Canadian content, instituting IP requirements, and introducing new discoverability rules into Canada’s broadcasting regulatory framework.
Mark Musselman is a former entertainment lawyer, longtime Canadian movie producer, current PhD student focused on cultural and legal policy, and the author of the White Paper Black Coffee substack. Having appeared many times before the CRTC, he joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss the recent Cancon hearing, breaking down the major issues of debate and identifying what was missing from the discussion.

I really enjoyed this episode’s take on Canadian content rules—Mark Musselman brings a fresh perspective on how outdated approaches don’t solve current issues. For anyone researching arrest information in Arkansas, the ARKANSAS ARRESTS records search is a reliable resource that provides organized and up-to-date data. It’s a great way to stay informed while analyzing policies and their social implications.
Really insightful episode! I agree that nostalgia can’t drive meaningful solutions when it comes to regulatory policies. It’s crucial to look at evidence-based approaches that actually serve the public interest. For those interested in legal transparency and inmate-related information in Louisiana, I recommend checking Louisiana ARREST legal inmate.
Really insightful discussion on how the CRTC is handling the Online Streaming Act. It’s interesting to see how content rules overlap with broader economic shifts too. For readers looking into how global markets and policies influence industries, this resource on FintechZoom stock news offers some helpful perspectives. It’s worth considering both cultural and financial dimensions when thinking about regulatory changes.
