I'm not an expert on international copyright developments, but as I understand it, article 13 has not yet been implemented. There are still some negotiations that have to take place within the European structure. We don't know what the final version will look like. Basically, it puts the onus on platforms that have user-generated content uploaded to them—i.e., YouTube and Facebook. It's not on the ISP level. It's on the platform level. It says you need to have a system in place to try to prevent unauthorized uploads of content. YouTube already has a very robust system of content match.
Now, YouTube's problem, they say, is that right now, if they find unauthorized content, they let the rights holder either take it down or monetize it. They can say, “You can keep the money or we'll take it down.” Their complaint about EU's article 13 is that it looks as though it forces them to take it down, and it takes the monetization away.
Canada doesn't have the same framework. If YouTube is engaged in communication of public copyright-protected content for a commercial purpose, copyright in Canada applies. Royalties have to be paid or, if it's unauthorized, it has to be taken down.
It's not getting at the problem. This isn't going to put money in anyone else's hands. This is just a way of reducing the amount of unauthorized content available on the YouTube platform. YouTube already does that. So it's a bit of a solution in search of a problem, and it doesn't really translate to what we're—
