Bill C-61: What you will not be able to do with your content in the future

September 16, 2008

Michael Geist has posted the three winning DYI videos explaining the problems of Bill C-61. C-61 in 61 Seconds. Interestingly, the first video of the series is no longer available. No explanation is given, but my gut tells me it is some sort of copyright violation take down notice. If so, I can not fathom what would cause that take down, as I would assume considering the subject matter that there would be clear fair use support for any content in the video.

Anyway here is the best one in my opinion, as it does show the removal of rights for consumers. But as I have been discussing with Raul the videos are not really illustrating the pain consumers will have and disadvantage that Canadian companies will be under should Bill C-61 pass. I think that it may require a concerted effort of presentations and grassroots interest.

If Michael Geist is the Al Gore for Digital Media Copyright in Canada. I think we need to get him on a road trip.
