Maybe Canadian’t will be spared from having to deal with WIPO (World Intelectual Properties Org) issues when it comes to sharing music, etc.
The Canadian Music Creator’s Coalition was in Ottawa urging the ministers of heritage and industry to do what’s best for music fans and embrace the new world of digital downloading and online music sharing in the government’s upcoming review of copyright law — even if that means upsetting the powerful music industry lobby.
Tim Wu, writer for Slate Magazine seems to think so:
Welcome to the fight over “network neutrality,” Washington’s current obsession. The debate centers on whether it is more “neutral” to let consumers reach all Internet content equally or to let providers discriminate if they think they’ll make more money that way.
This is also happening in Ottawa where the CRTC makes the rules.. During the recent election it was referred to as two-tiered Internet.
