User-Generated Content - Liabilities and Prospects

Posted on December 6, 2010 by Bob Tarantino

Bill C-32 (The Copyright Modernization Act) contains a clause which would add to the Copyright Act a new Section 29.21, bearing the heading "Non-commercial User-generated Content", but being colloquially referred to as the "YouTube" or "mashup" provision.  "User-generated Content" being in the air, I thought it worth pointing to a couple of recent publications on that topic: Sheldon Burshtein wrote an interesting piece entitled Canada: Risks of User-Generated Content to Website Operators
 and Sam Trosow has written Mobilizing User-Generated Content for Canada's Digital Advantage (executive summary available here).
