The Canadian government is taking another crack at reforming our nation’s extremely outdated copyright laws. Two previous bills died when Parliament dissolved. But Bill C-32 is bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and before committee. How necessary are these changes? The current legislation includes mention of Beta Max machines. Meanwhile, Bill C-32 would finally make it legal to record a program on your VCR to watch at a later time. Yes – a practice that is technically illegal in Canada.
ABC Radio National - November 1, 2009 - Copyright began 300 years ago, but now laws can’t cope with the anarchy of new technologies. There’s a battle between the law and the ‘mashers’, from the White House to the Australian Federal Court. Reporter, Oscar McLaren. Image by Omaz Z, file photo.
