Episode 57: Julia Reda on What Canada Should Learn from the European Battle over a Copyright Link Tax
/

Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault recently suggested that the government’s support for news media should be replaced by copyright rules that would open the door to payments from internet companies such as Google and Facebook. Guilbeault indicated that a legislative package was being prepared for the fall that would include a press publishers’ right is that is commonly referred to as an internet link tax.

Julia Reda is a former Member of the European Parliament who for several years was the most active and visible politician in Europe when it came to copyright reform. That multi-year debate ultimately led to the adoption of a link tax and upload filters with a European directive. She joins me on the podcast to talk about that experience, why she believes a link tax harms freedom of expression and diversity of media, and what lessons Canada should draw from the European experience.

  1. Good material, I plan to open it in my essay, if you do not mind. I agree that the reference tax is harmful to freedom of expression and diversity of media. Together with https://getfinanceessay.com/finance-essay-help/, I recently prepared a financial essay note. It is interesting.

  2. Recently, I have heard so much news about copyright rules that I also plan to disclose this issue in my blog. Since my writing skills are not very good, I will most likely order an essay on this topic from specialists. I found reviews, I think I will soon choose a writing service.

    Taxes are very important part of a financial system of every country and everyone must agree with this term because it is how our world is working, and you can`not do something with that. Taxes will be always very high and government understand that, so they are doing all their best, so it will be much easier for you to live in a country like that but if you don’t know a lot about your financial situation then it is better to read articles like this one https://fitmymoney.com/debt-to-income-ratio/ and always stay on the same financial level. So you will be able to pay off for those taxes easily.
