The first of two town hall meetings as part of the copyright consultation was held in Montreal this afternoon. The discussion featured a wide range of views with several music representatives calling for tougher laws and other participants voicing support for greater flexibility.

Video of the town hall has already been posted online by a third party. There was also active live tweeting under the #copycon tag. Below is a summary from University of Ottawa student Frances Munn.
