As a musician and content creator I believe the Government must enact copyright laws that ensure copyright is properly protected, fairly compensated and approached with a balance in mind of both copyright holders and consumers alike. Protection of copyright is important for artists and businesses, and the growing scope of file-sharing technology demands that laws change to reflect fair compensation and protection of these works. There needs to be more varied forms of copyright available to artists who wish to share their work and encourage artistic collaboration (such as open source forms like Creative Commons.) There also needs to be special attention paid to the protection of Canadian Content, which should be the primary focus of copyright laws in Canada.
