MODERATORS
Our government doing something useful is a unique surprise these days.
Well, a consultation is basically the bare minimum. We'll have to wait to see if this leads to even the possibility legislation.
Two bills of interest on this are C-244 and C-294, both amendments to the Copyright Act. The first is to allow circumvention of technological protection measures to diagnose, maintain or repair, and the second is to allow the same to make one computer software program or embedded device interoperable with another.
Both bills are 5 out of 6 steps done from becoming law but they need to before the next election, else it will be delayed even more.
Damn, that's pretty cool. C-244 would do a lot for me personally, so I hope that goes through.
They have to toss the people a bone or else the NDP might be the decision makers. Our market is small and we don't manufacture much, so right to repair wouldn't ruffle many corporate feathers.
