The CRTC decided last week to levy a tax on the Canadian revenue made by the giant streaming services. This money will ostensibly go towards supporting Canadian creators and improving Canadian content...which is what exactly?This is where Bill C-11 gets interesting, because streamers already spend a ton of money making content in Canada, or purchasing stories and IP created by Canadians. Much of that won't count, so what will? And who will end up paying for the tax on those services—American corporations or, as some experts have warned, all of us, with rising Netflix prices?GUEST: Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Mike's worried – very worried. We're taking on water on all sides – the cost of living, no family doctors, unaffordable rents, medical wait times, and declining GDP per capita. Record government spending hasn't made a dent in addressing these problems. Plus, Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, says "the poorly conceived Digital Safety Commission lacks even basic rules of evidence, can conduct secret hearings, and has been granted an astonishing array of powers with limited oversight."

Justin Trudeau's Online Harms Bill, Bill C-63, is the biggest threat to freedom of speech in this country. It introduces nothing short of a surveillance state replete with snitch lines, kangaroo courts and mass censorship. But Canadians can't count on the legacy media to tell the truth about Trudeau's latest power grab. Instead of sounding the alarm, the media is cheering on the prime minister and doing his dirty work in smearing the opposition. If Canada were a free country, with a free press, the media would be ringing the alarm over this assault on freedom of speech. Tune into Fake News Friday on The Candice Malcolm Show.

Amid years of decline in news ad revenue and a rapidly changing media landscape, the Canadian government introduced Bill C-18, the Online News Act. This controversial piece of legislation requires Google and Meta - the company behind Facebook and Instagram – to pay Canadian news outlets for linking their content to these social media sites. Meta responded by blocking all Canadian news content from Facebook and Instagram, while Google has recently agreed to pay $100 million to Canadian publishers, indexed for inflation. Our guest on this Munk Dialogue is Michael Geist, one of the legislation's fiercest critics. Michael is an expert in Canadian technology law and the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, and argues that far from helping Canadian news outlets, media organizations – unable to drive users from social media – will not only suffer from a loss of revenue, but they will become more reliant on government subsidies to stay afloat and thus become less objective in their reporting.

Whose responsibility is it to address Canada's housing crisis? The federal or provincial government? How can all levels of government work together to tackle the issue? We discuss with Carolyn Whitzman, Housing Policy Expert and Professor from the University of Ottawa.   We hear it all the time, “farmers need more rain”, but just how bad is it for Southern Alberta farmers this crop season? We get the thoughts of Bassano-area Farmer, Darrel Lassiter.   Why is Canada fighting with Meta over Canadian news coverage? And could we, as a nation, negotiate a deal with the tech giant, like Australia did? We tackle the topic with Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law from the University of Ottawa.

This week, in the wake of controversial new legislation, Bill C-18, Meta has announced that it will be ending news sharing on its platforms in Canada. So, for a special bonus episode of the podcast, we reached out to a Canadian academic who's been following this story closely, to get his reaction to the development — and to hear his analysis on what it might mean for our news sector going forward. (This conversation is part of Lean Out's summer media series. Please also check out our interviews with Jen Gerson, Peter Menzies, Marc Edge, and Holly Doan.)Michael Geist a professor and the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa. He's also the host of the Law Bytes podcast. You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

The country's newspapers have been arguing that tech platforms, like Facebook and Google, should be paying them whenever they link to news. They should be careful what they wish for. Professor Michael Geist is Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and the country's foremost expert on similar regulation in Canada. The Canadian government passed Bill C-18, which gives Canadian news media everything that New Zealand's newspapers claim they want. Geist shares valuable insights into the well-predicted consequences of this legislative move. Despite government assurances that all would be fine, tech platforms threats to block links to news have not been a bluff. Rather than provide a new funding source for Canadian news, the legislation will likely result in more extensive government media bailouts as link-driven revenue dries up. Listen as they delve into the government's role in negotiations with tech giants, uncovering the challenges and consequences of such interventions. Join us as we unravel the complexities of this Canadian experience, providing valuable lessons for policymakers and citizens alike. Tune in now to navigate the dynamic landscape of tech and news industry relations, with insights that can influence the future direction of similar policies worldwide.

When it comes to content moderation and the regulation of harmful content on social media, there are various metaphors at play for how to think about doing it. One that we've https://techpolicy.press/the-sunday-show-a-conversation-with-evelyn-douek/ (explored on this podcast) in the past is to see it as a form of administration, or what legal scholar evelyn douek calls the “rough online analogue of offline judicial adjudication of speech rights, with legislative-style substantive rules being applied over and over again to individual pieces of content by a hierarchical bureaucracy of moderators.”  But some scholars, like douek, see limitations in this way of thinking. That includes Rachel Griffin, a PhD candidate and lecturer at Sciences Po Law School who recently https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4007098 (published a new paper) in the Journal of Intellectual Property, Information Technology and E-Commerce Law titled The Sanitised Platform. The paper employs thinking from feminist legal scholar Vicki Schultz about US law on sexual harassment in the workplace as a framework to critique approaches to content moderation and social media regulation.

For the first time since 1991, the federal government is updating the country’s Broadcasting Act. Little did they know the firestorm that would arise against Bill C-10.  Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has been the one feeling the heat, online and elsewhere over his Bill, which attempts to bring some regulation to the Internet and support for Canadian content. Social media companies like YouTube, Google and Netflix contribute nothing to Canadian content, unlike traditional broadcasters. Or at least that’s what the government is saying. Bill C-10 intends to bring them under regulation and have them support Canadian creativity. The argument has devolved into a dispute whether it would limit or monitor your social media feeds.  The cry of “censorship “ has rang out across the country as people worry about curbs to their freedom of expression. It has also become a political football as the Conservatives cite C-10 as Orwellian.  __________________________________________________________ Our Unpublished.vote question asks:  Question: Do you think Bill C-10 should be passed as is, or be amended? Answer choices: Passed / Amended / Unsure You can log on and cast your ballot at Unpublished.vote right now.  __________________________________________________________  Today on the Unpublished Café podcast we take a look at the legislation and try and clear up some misconceptions.  Joining us is Kate Taylor, Visual Arts critic with the Globe and Mail; Daniel Bernhard, Executive Director of Friends of Canadian Broadcasting; and Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa. 

The internet is completely different from TV or radio- so why is the Canadian government trying to regulate social media like a traditional broadcaster?

What is the intent of Bill C-10 and can we deliver on that intent without limiting free speech? On this episode, Nate is joined by Michael Geist to discuss free speech issues around Bill C-10, why he has been opposed to the bill on other grounds as well, and how we should think about addressing illegal speech online in future legislation. Michael is a law professor and Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, and is a member of the Centre for Law, Technology and Society. He has written extensively about his objections to Bill C-10 on his blog here.On the issue of free speech, the government has repeatedly, albeit clumsily, said from the outset that it does not intend to regulate user generated content, and that the focus of the bill is to require Netflix, Spotify and other online undertakings to pay into the system of Canadian content creation as traditional broadcasters are required to do. What needs to happen is for the government to correct its misstep in communication and clarify the law through an amendment to properly exclude user generated content. Thankfully, the Minister has said recently that this is exactly his intention: we “want to make sure that the content that people upload on social media won't be considered as programming under the Act and that it won't be regulated by the CRTC. And that's why we will be bringing forward another amendment that will make this crystal clear.”

This week, host Amanda Galbraith is joined by Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, Michael Geist, to discuss Bill C-10. The federal government is facing immense backlash to this bill, which aims to amend the Broadcasting Act to regulate user-generated content uploaded to social media platforms, the same way it currently controls TV and radio content. The two go head-to-head in our rapid-fire round to discuss Joe Biden’s joint address to Congress, Vaccine Hunters Canada (@VaxHuntersCan), and Netflix Canada’s decision to move their headquarters to Toronto.

In Canada, wireless and broadband prices are too damned high. Why? The recent news of a merger attempt by Rogers and Shaw gives us a hint—and a look into the world of telecom strategy and oligopoly. Indeed, observers would be forgiven for thinking the country is a handful of telecom companies in a trenchcoat, perhaps with an airline or two crammed in there. But there's more to it than that—a bit more, anyway. Understanding wireless and broadband policy requires us to dig into the state of the industry, competition or a lack thereof, the question of nationalization, the role of the Competition Bureau and the CRTC, and more. Eventually, we get to answer the big question: Why are our wireless and broadband bills so high? On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Michael Geist, Professor of Law at the University of Ottawa and Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law.

Whenever issues of copyright arise in the Canadian entertainment industries, Michael Geist is sure to enter the conversation - and he’s not one to hide his disagreements with some of the music industry’s big players. The Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and a widely-respected expert on copyright law, Geist joins us for a wide-ranging conversation touching on a variety of issues affecting record labels, publishers, and music creators. We get into Bryan Adams’ arguments for the government’s Heritage Committee, including changing the reversion right to give creators their copyrights back in their lifetime, as well as whether it’s good or not that Canada has agreed to a copyright term extension. Geist then discusses how the new US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement affects the music industry and creators, why he doesn’t buy the notion of a “value gap” in the music business, and his criticism of the music industry's argument against YouTube.
