Bill C-32 Action

On June 2, 2010 the Conservative Government introduced proposed amendments to the Canadian Copyright Act. The Copyright Modernization Bill is a 62 page document. We’ve now read through this document carefully and have consulted with a number of experts. We were also invited by the Government to take part in the technical briefing conference call on the day the Bill was announced. We received answers to two questions. In summary, although there have been some improvements , we are disappointed with the effect Bill C-32 will have for artists who practice appropriation.
