I have a quick comment on the user-generated content exception.

I don't have an issue with what you said. They all seem to be good responses to the phenomenon. The major point is that you don't want to have a situation where children at home are liable for copyright infringement because they're doing a version of a favourite song and uploading it to YouTube.

If we're going to look for a compensation mechanism, let us then look for one. But the worst system would be one that says it's an infringement and that our children are copyright infringers and liable for statutory damages for that activity.

This is a good thing. We should find a way to make it happen. Bill C-32 is one way to make it happen.
