Michael Geist offers a detailed analysis (and accessible summary on BoingBoing) of the Canadian Copyright review: "the committee released the authoritative review with 36 recommendations (182 page PDF) that include expanding fair dealing, a rejection of a site blocking system, and a rejection of proposals to exclude education from fair dealing where a licence is otherwise available... that is the hallmark of a more balanced approach to copyright reform." With an election coming in October there's no chance these recommendations will be implemented in the current Parliament, but the next may consider them.
