While not related to Copyright, I wanted to mention bill C-304 which I have been following.
Among other things, it repeals section 13 of of the Canadian Human Rights Act, something I am strongly in favor of.

The Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled in favor of Newton in the Crookes v. Newton, declaring that this specific use of linking to allegedly defamatory material did not constitute publishing. A number of people have suggested this has links to policy discussions in copyright where sites like ISOHunt that allegedly "just link" to content should be equally immune (See article by Jesse Brown as an example).
I think this requires more than a cursory look at both what the Supreme Court said and the policy being proposed to be added within C-11.

CBC's Spark has a full interview with David Fewer on the Crookes v. Netwon case. If you agree this case is important, please donate to the defence fund.
