GrepLaw reports that news.com reports that the CRTC decided over the iCraveTV/JumpTV issue.

I really don’t know enough about the issue to comment. I just know that it’s one more area, along with P2P and radio webcasting that no one will touch for a while. Can’t see that as a positive thing.

I was just reading about the WIPO Copyright Treaty, in particular on the
interpretation of the right of communication to the public (art.8).

The WIPO
Expert Committee, in its Basic Proposal for the Substantive Provision of the
Treaty on Certain Question Concerning the Protection of Literary and
Artistic Works, considered
that the term « communication » involves « making the work available, not the
mere provision of server space, communication connections, or facilities for
the carriage and routing of signals »[emphasis added].

Hillary Rosen (RIAA), probably does not
think the same.

CNET reports that last Saturday, during the Midem
music conference on the French Riviera, she affirmed that ISPs « must be held
accountable » for online piracy, considering that they are profiting of the
growing demand of broadband services: « Let’s face it. They know there’s a
lot of demand for broadband simply because of the availability (of
file-sharing) ».
