CROSS PLATFORM - Visionary Presentation Change is the Only Constant - Regulation and copyright in a post broadcast world
In order to maintain traditional order and protect copyright, public
policy has spent the past decade battling to keep up with the rapid
pace of change in the media space only to see technology leapfrog
these efforts at every juncture. A constant state of change has become the
new normal for the media space. How can policy catch up if the
industry doesn’t slow down? What regulatory world can we develop to
accommodate for constant change? Can traditional broadcast systems
adapt?

REGULATION
Future of the Medium - Internet Regulation: A Debate About Media in Canada
Recently we saw CRTC hearings into the potential regulation of “new
media”. Most of the players in the current CTRC hearings are the
traditional media and the whole premise seems geared to the
preservation of broadcasters rather than the development of a
system that works. It is a good time to have an open conversation about what
governments should and should not do when it comes to regulating the
Internet.

other media can react to current opportunities.
