I wonder if that change in attitude actually has more to do with the use of iTunes, which makes works easier to access without resorting to piracy.
I have a question about fair education. This bill must enable us to ratify the WIPO treaty. Would a school teacher who was photocopying one or two full chapters of a textbook, for instance, be engaging in an activity that violated the spirit of the Berne Convention, making Canada an unacceptable signatory of the treaty? As I see it, not only does the use of such photocopies seem to betray the three fundamental principles of the Berne Convention, but it also seems to harm copyright holders.
Mr. Trosow, what are your thoughts?
