We have the same problem in the French world.
In French, this question of rights is really fundamental. It is complex, first, because it concerns the international aspect, a lot of rights holders, but also because it concerns the Canadian Television Fund, for example, which itself sets certain rules and certain limits. The Canadian Television Fund has somewhat come to a point where it arbitrates the relations of producers and broadcasters, to the point where, when buying a licence for a new series, we aren't entitled to discuss any other rights. That's a bit stupid and, in my view, somewhat provokes what is called the problem of high-cost series in Quebec, that is to say that the broadcaster is nevertheless the trigger of major series. In other words, if there is no Radio-Canada, TVA, TQS or another major television network to create a series, it won't exist.
So we can't enjoy all the rights. In any case, we aren't entitled to discuss them at the outset. We therefore invest less and less. So, at some point, these series will no longer exist. I think that time is having its effect, because, technologically, we won't have a choice to change these practices. This will have to change because the broadcaster has made much too big an investment to be content with only one or two broadcasts.
So this question of rights is fundamental if we want to protect content, and the television industry has nevertheless had major success in Canada. To protect content, we will have to find a way to agree with all rights holders, including independent producers.
