Copyright can be a bit of a complex topic. Increasingly though, changes in copyright legislation and are having a very real impact on the way Canadians consume media in their day to day lives.
To help us make sense of the issues at stake, we're pleased to have University of Ottawa law professor Jeremy de Beer with us on Wednesday at noon ET to take questions on the state of copyright in Canada and what the future holds for intellectual property in the digital age.
Prof. de Beer specializes in classic and intellectual property law, and the intersection between property, IP and torts, and is a member of the law faculty's law and technology group. He has worked for the Department of Justice and as legal counsel to the Copyright Board of Canada.
He has written about the constitutional implications of copyrights, the role of copyrights in the music and entertainment industries and the notion of balance in copyright and patent law.
Please feel free to submit questions ahead of time via e-mail or on Twitter either by messaging @GlobeTechnology or by using the hashtag #copychat.
Once the discussion is live, it will appear in the window below.
