Canada's Broadcast Flag

Canada's Broadcast Flag 09/08/2004 04:44 PM
Cory Doctorow: The Broadcast Flag is a US regulation that nominally prevents Internet redistribution of digital TV signals, but in fact sets up a world where Hollywood studios and their captured regulators get a veto over the design of all new TV technology -- and distort the market for PC components like hard drives and video-cards in a way that will hobble innovation, drive up prices and shut out open source.

Weirdly enough, Canada seems to think that this sounds pretty good.

Given the controversy associated with the broadcast flag in the U.S., one would think that Canada would be wary about embarking on the same route. Accordingly, it came as a shock to many when an Industry Canada official recently indicated that Canada was likely to follow the U.S. lead by quickly implementing a similar system by July 2005. The official suggested that there was broadcaster support for the measure and that since the U.S. had adopted it, Canadians had little alternative but to follow suit.

While Canadian broadcasters may or may not support the broadcast flag (they have in fact been rather publicly silent on the matter), it is essential Canada craft its own policy by considering the privacy and copyright policies associated with the proposal.

Pre-judging the issue, as some in Minister Emerson's department appear to have done, is a dangerous course of action, that should be replaced immediately by a working group of all stakeholders, including the broader public interest, intent on studying the Canadian options. The suggestion Canada faces a Y2K-like deadline with respect to the broadcast flag appears as overblown as was the Y2K threat itself.

Canada's DMCA dissected 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: On the heels of the introduction of Canada's Bill C-60, a Made-in-Canada version of the DMCA, Michael Geist has posted several long, thoughtful blog posts about the bill's effects on different interests: search engines, ISPs, and P2P users:

While Bill C-60 therefore contains extensive provisions to cover uploading, downloading on peer-to-peer systems remains largely untouched (with the exception described above). Many experts believe that peer-to-peer downloading is covered by the private copying levy, though CRIA disputes that interpretation.

Clueless Article About Canada's Wi-Fi
Scene 02/16/2004 01:25 PM
This writer seems to enjoy writing as though he's an authority when it's clear he's not: He's read all the hype about Wi-Fi but gets enough wrong that he obviously hasn't done his own research. His general point is that Canada is behind the United States in deploying hotspots. But he hasn't got very good research to back that up. His strongest piece of evidence seems to be a conversation he had recently with one computer programmer who had never heard of Wi-Fi. He goes on to say that the market is primed to change dramatically because Canada's largest carriers said they'd create a unified standard to let customers roam between their networks. This so-called standard was developed without any of the major existing Canadian Wi-Fi operators, such as FatPort, and none of the four carriers involved had deployed hotspots when they set the roaming standard. It's also just a "standard" (how they'll handle billing, etc.), not a roaming deal. So the carriers could deploy networks and still not roam. (Meanwhile, FatPort has built hundreds of locations and secured roaming with several international networks.) He also pointed to a recent study that said no hotspots' business model could succeed if the only revenue source was connection fees. That study is bad news for cafes in the U.S., he says, because many of them offer access for free. But the two aren't related. Free hotspot operators have a totally different business model than those that charge. He closes by pointing out "guerilla Wi-Fi warriors" in Canada who warchalk. Warchalking is a great idea and testament to the community behind Wi-Fi, but who has actually seen a symbol? If this writer's point is that Wi-Fi hasn't taken off in Canada, then it's doubtful that people there are actually warchalking....

Little) 06/05/2005 10:56 PM
Four Canadian cell operators have been making Wi-Fi noises for years: A while ago, they announced a major agreement to interconnect their networks. Only trouble was, they didn't really have any hotspot action going at that point. Now, between them, they have a whopping 500 locations nationwide, with 500 more planned in the indeterminate future. Meanwhile, smaller and fleeter companies have been eating their lunch by partnering with other networks worldwide. FatPort, a company I have followed for years already, has 300 locations in Canada and at least 3,700 other roaming locations worldwide available at no additional fee to their subscribers. Most recently, they signed a deal with NetNearU....

Copyright Office Endorses INDUCE Act

Copyright Office Endorses INDUCE Act 07/22/2004 04:26 AM
Earlier this week, in looking through the list of speakers at the INDUCE Act Hearings, Ernest Miller noted that the first on the list, Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights for the US Copyright Office, has "never seen an extension of copyright she didn't like." Thus, it's not at all surprising that she's going to come out strongly in favor of the bill, according to a copy of her statement that News.com got their hands on. In fact, she's going to stand up there with a straight face and say that the Betamax ruling goes too far and needs to be replaced. Since most supporters of the INDUCE Act have been claiming that it really doesn't impact the Betamax decision this is the first sign that people are admitting they're trying to change the Betamax rule. Others who will clearly lay out misleading claims in favor of the INDUCE Act (as they've been doing for the past couple of weeks) includes Robert W. Holleyman of the BSA (recently shown to have made misleading statements concerning stats about unauthorized software copying) and Mitch Bainwol of the RIAA, whose letter to the Senate about the Induce Act was easily torn to shreds by Ernest Miller. Standing up for the other side will Gary Shapiro from the Consumer Electronics Association, who is usually a strong advocate of promoting innovation and Kevin McGuiness of NetCoalition who is "alarmed" by the bill and "troubled" by the Copyright Office's decision to question the Betamax verdict. Should be a fun time. No one's mind is going to get changed, of course, since we no longer seem to live in a time where changing your mind based on the facts is encouraged, but Senator Hatch has a history of saying the most ridiculous things during these things, so there may be a good quote or two coming out of all of this.
