Make no mistake: the 120+ pages of Bill C-32 represent a major reform of Canada’s copyright law, aimed at bringing it fully into the digital age – an age of “mash-ups”, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, online YouTube parodies “gone viral”, instant global proliferation of information at the click of a mouse, and a “revolution of rising expectations” on the part of information users worldwide. While it’s still uncertain when the reforms will be passed, reform is inevitable. Now is the time to learn what it means.

This Osgoode Professional Development National Forum on Bill C-32 and the issues involved in copyright reform brings a roster of distinguished experts together. Through their discussion (supported by a binder of accompanying materials), you’ll get practical information and insight into where the law is most likely to end up and what the implications will be.

If you or your clients have a stake in the outcome of Bill C-32, you should not miss this important program!
