Industry committee  We're seeing the standard of 50 increasingly move to 70 with pressure from the United States.

Industry committee  The Berne Convention is where it is 50, and we're seeing it increasingly move to 70, particularly with pressure from the United States.

Industry committee  I think trying to loop Europe into one viewpoint is like trying to loop every person testifying at this committee into one perspective. There are a lot of diverse approaches, and I think the concern we do have in Europe is there's a lot of pressure from individuals. We're hearin

Industry committee  I think that we need to make sure that those publishers are able to reach the audiences that can and will pay for that content. I think that the proposals we've seen put forward, through content filtering and through website blocking, do the exact opposite of that. They make it e

Industry committee  I'm not familiar with the details of all of the proposals that you've put forward, but I would say that, generally speaking, as I said earlier, we do believe that creators should be compensated. I think that if there are copyrighted images that are being passed around by journali

Industry committee  Absolutely. I think the number one thing is we need to actually expand what fair dealing looks like, and fair use, to bring more balance to that. Our concerns with what was agreed to in the USMCA is that it shifts into a more heavy-handed copyright regime without providing anythi

Industry committee  I think looking at the copyright term extensions is a good example. We're hearing a lot of arguments here and we're discussing a lot of ways that creators need to be compensated. Extending copyright terms from 50 to 70 years after the life of an artist does not compensate that ar

Industry committee  I would agree with Kelsey and echo what she's saying. I think that a lot of the problem we're seeing is not a copyright issue. It's the power dynamics between creators, the publishing industry, and where those revenues are going. When we look at some of the larger companies tha

Industry committee  I think what we've seen with FairPlay is a clear indication of the difference between those that are vertically integrated and those that are not. When you look at the companies in the media industry that have come out to support FairPlay, they have clearly been those that have

Industry committee  Sorry, I missed the last part of it.

Industry committee  We have concerns around some of the elements contained within not just the IP chapter but the digital trade chapter. I think that our fundamental concern with the USMCA—as I was starting to get to earlier—is that this is a deal that we have no indication included the voices of Ca

Industry committee  I think it's probably across the board. I'll let Kelsey look at my notes. Exactly what that looks like in implementation, I'm not the expert to tell you what that solution looks like. I think that what we are advocating for is more content in the public domain. If these are pub

Industry committee  I think that this committee has been tasked with undertaking a review of the Copyright Act. What we've seen is an international trade agreement that is largely focused on physical goods and how they pass across borders, and provides some of the answers to the questions that this

Industry committee  Good afternoon and thank you for having us. I would also like to begin by acknowledging that we are on the traditional territory of the Algonquin people My name is Laura Tribe. I am the executive director of OpenMedia. We are a community-based organization of more than 500,000

Public Safety committee  The biggest concerns we have are that there aren't checks and balances in place in the way that the proposed CSE act is currently worded. There's 90 pages' worth of report and recommendations put forward on it specifically by Citizen Lab and CIPPIC, which gets at a lot of the det
