Industry committee  I appreciate that. If you look at the United States, whether in terms of IP or creation of new works or whatnot, it's not just population. You could chalk it up to economic development. There are many different aspects, so certainly I appreciate the conversation here. Some witne

Industry committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to thank all of our witnesses for both their patience and their testimony and expertise. I think I'll start with Ms. Craig. Ms. Craig, you've argued that transformative new works should not be impeded by copyright law at all, as they are not c

Industry committee  Thank you for that. I think one of the most challenging things in this environment is that ultimately if we make recommendations to a minister, the minister then has to figure out where the line in the sand is, and that's where it becomes quite difficult, especially if we're say

Industry committee  Thank you.

Industry committee  I think what the Canadian Dance Assembly was pointing out was that if someone choreographs a particular dance and posts it on YouTube, then someone else uses those moves in a performance of some sort, some credit should be due or some sort of copyright owed to the original person

Industry committee  I certainly agree with that. Ms. Gendreau, in your presentation you argue that online platforms should be liable for infringing work on their platforms in the same way traditional broadcasters are. Do you not acknowledge that a TV station where a producer determines everything

We've been told that if such a system would be in place, online platforms

Industry committee  Thank you for that. Mr. Geist, you have strongly argued against extending statutory damages to Access Copyright. If the worst penalty they are allowed to seek is the amount of the original tariff, then won't educational institutions just ignore the tariff because the only penalt

Industry committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's always a mad dash to get in as many interventions as we can. I will address this question to the Intellectual Property Institute. You support changing safe harbour provisions yet we were told by a major tech company that they simply could not operate

Industry committee  Okay.

Industry committee  Yesterday on Twitter—I didn't have the opportunity, and this is outside of your role, because I don't think you were speaking on behalf of the Intellectual Property Institute—I posted a CBC article outlining the case of someone who was suing the company that makes Fortnite for al

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, I'd like to share the rest of my time with Mr. Lloyd, if that's all right.

Industry committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for their testimony here today. In recent weeks we've been hearing from various witnesses favouring a change in approach in how we do copyright and moving to a more American-style fair use model. I would like to surve

Industry committee  Okay. Thank you for that explanation. One of the concerns I've raised a number of times is with content ID. Many of the platforms have said they are doing the best they can within the contextual environment they're operating in. One of the cases is where someone pays a tariff

Industry committee  I like the word “remedies”, too. It's over to Mr. Lloyd.
