None of this documnent proposes anything other than an RFP for input on how Canadian content and north american copyright may be addressed. Companies or individuals will likely propose blocking but this is a far cry from even any drafted legislation.
The worrying part is bundling canadian content rules along intermediary access to potentially copyright infringing material. That part is peculiar, seeing as theyre totally separate concepts. Hopefully its not just a way of suggesting defending disneys copyright on 100 year old cartoons is equal to having 25% of the song played on FM radio be “canadian”
- freeone3000 5y agoFrom the government's perspective, they're the same. They want 25% of all content consumed to be Canadian, and piracy is a problem because it interferes with that. Whether someone in America makes money off of Canadian citizens isn't the primary concern.
