Michael Geist, a law prof at the University of Ottawa, has a good summary of the copyright plans of Industry Canada and Canadian Heritage on his site, www.MichaelGeist.ca.

While that report clearly pushed the agenda forward, the governmentís response has certainly recognized the need for some balance.”
