U.S. trade officials are signalling that Canada will need to make policy changes if it wants long-term certainty under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), as the trade deal comes up for mandatory review next year.

    Said it ages ago they fucked the status quo

    So if Canada wants to invalidate DMCA reduce copright laws to 5 years. It’s Canada’s prerogative. There a wind of change blowing and its not looking smart to stayed tied to the anchor that’s the USA

      For all the US bitches about piracy costing the industry and jobs, they sure do a fucking terrible job about policing stuff like counterfeits that can be tied to real numbers of economic harm (because people that buy those were actually willing to spend money). eBay is rife with counterfeit media sales and Amazon ain’t great either. I’ve never tried third party sellers from others but I’d bet that Walmart, Bestbuy, and others have a share as well given the ones I see selling “new” items that haven’t actually been produced in a decade.

      I was under the impression that creative works were one of the areas Canada punches above its weight with the US. Music in particular.
