Canada Considers Tougher Copyright

Canada’s government is introducing new copyright legislation that could significantly change online habits. “Dubbed Bill C-60, the proposed legislation is a package of amendments to the Copyright Act. It covers file-sharing, downloading and burning copies of CDs and movies. Under the changes, making a CD for personal use would remain legal. However, a so-called “make available” clause would criminalize putting songs into shared online directories such as Kazaa or BitTorrent.”
