Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Armstrong had a really good point earlier. He asked how we tell our trading partners, when Canada...we changed our regulation for video, we were the number one pirater for videos and movies, because people were walking in and doing videos. Anik E was hacked by a Canadian, to take all the anime.

Canadian Heritage committee  I read about that.

Canadian Heritage committee  You can go to our website, Jumpwire Media, and you'll see “Torrent Tracker Reports” there. It will take you through exactly what we're doing with BitTorrent. Also, under my blog, you'll see a video. I just spoke for about for an hour and half at Cannes, and you'll see a good overview of that as well.

Canadian Heritage committee  Okay.

Canadian Heritage committee  I want some questions from that guy.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm going to find out where he's from.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm sorry, Mr. Pomerleau, that I don't have a better answer.

Canadian Heritage committee  I know Jacob.

Canadian Heritage committee  Well, if you start talking legislation, as Mr. Pomerleau was--and I've been sort of downloading in the back of my mind--what we really need to do is this. If you could do something for me, it would be to free up data. Give the data to people. That's the big thing. The ISPs need to provide us with the data: what are people doing online?

Canadian Heritage committee  I want to know everything. I want to know what people are doing. I don't want to know who's doing it--I want the privacy to be linked to that--but I want to know how many people in Fergus, Ontario, are watching YouTube. How many people are watching Metacafe? How many people are making phone calls on Skype?

Canadian Heritage committee  Maybe no one has ever asked. When I came here, I was trying to get the data. We tried to do something at Endemol. I created an idea in 2005 called “mood mapping”. I wanted to find out what people's mood was in a particular city. All I wanted to do was track the words that were going out in the morning and all through the day.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm so sorry I can't speak better French. It's one of my priorities.

Canadian Heritage committee  I think they already are. If you're into a specific kind of music.... We have a house in Toronto and a house in New York. When I'm in Toronto, one of the most multicultural cities, if I would like to go and see Jamaican roots hip hop, I can go and see it. I can't see that in New York, believe it or not.

Canadian Heritage committee  Oh, man....

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes. You are killing me.
