Canadioans need to be paying attention to what's happening at the copyright hearings, even though it's the middle of summer and we'd all rather be out at the lake. "The consultation features five key questions:
1. How do Canada's copyright laws affect you? How should existing laws be modernized?
2. Based on Canadian values and interests, how should copyright changes be made in order to withstand the test of time?
3. What sorts of copyright changes do you believe would best foster innovation and creativity in Canada?
4. What sorts of copyright changes do you believe would best foster competition and investment in Canada?
5. What kinds of changes would best position Canada as a leader in the global, digital economy?"
