Industry committee What is your policy on streaming of the games, as an organization?
October 3rd, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee Do you believe that the current act's provisions allow for fair use of that copyrighted material, or is it something that your members haven't given you your marching orders on?
October 3rd, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee So you have no policy?
October 3rd, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee We've also heard from the music industry that they would like sound recordings used for movies or TV shows to require repeat broadcasting royalties. Obviously, some of the games that are created by many of your members are akin to almost a movie-like production. Do you know how t
October 3rd, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee It is the soundtrack recordings, because we do have musicians and people who create sounds. When these are included into a work, they are seeking further royalty every time it's rebroadcast and the sound is used.

Dan Albas
Industry committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to exercise the motion that I have on deck in regard to what I said at committee. I'm going to ask the indulgence of members and our witnesses, and I'm going to be as brief as I can, because I think it's important to get this out of the way. Hopef

Industry committee Thank you. I will share my time.
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee Thank you, Mr. Chair, and again thank you to our witnesses today. I'd like to go back to Telus, specifically since in your brief and in the subsequent discussion here today you talked a lot about notice and notice and what works in that regime and what doesn't seem to work. I c
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee We've heard suggestions from other ISPs around notice and notice, specifically about removing settlement offers and having a standardized form. We haven't heard yet about charging rights holders to forward those notices. Is Telus alone in wanting this change, or do you suspect th
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee Okay. Obviously, you viewed last week's meeting. In the meeting we also discussed the Federal Court's ability—not capacity, but ability—constitutionally to hear.... I shouldn't say “constitutionally”, but I mean its ability to rule on these matters. You may not be a part of the
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee Do you feel that the Federal Court right now does not have the clarity to be able to hear and to offer injunctive relief?
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee I appreciate that there are multiple different ways, but Shaw specifically cited that some clarification would be helpful. We're here not only to clarify things like notice and notice and whether it's reasonable to have a cloud-streaming, on-demand-like mechanism for some of the
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee We had testimony last week about more of a standardized notice and notice regime, as well as limiting what content can be included in that. You're in favour of that, then.
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee You also say that grossly disproportionate damages have been assessed. Can you give us a concrete example?
October 1st, 2018Committee meeting
Dan Albas
Industry committee I recognize the point. Let's maybe talk about innovation that is happening right now. There is a considerable amount of innovation on online platforms—for example, YouTube and Twitch. A number of users have often said they are putting forward content in good faith and have still
