Fixing Bill C-11 for Consumers - Part 1

PIAC discusses, once again, Bill C-11 - the "Online Streaming Act" which is an Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act, to, among other things, require "Internet broadcasters" to be registered under Canadian law and contribute to the creation of "Canadian content" or more simply, "CanCon". We recap PIAC's appearance before the Standing Committee on Heritage at the House of Commons and in particular, detail our idea to "fix" C-11, in particular, the user-generated content issue. Part 1 of 2 part special.
