This morning noted internet law expert Allen Mendelsohn (who?) appeared on CTV’s Canada AM to opine about the update to the Copyright Act that came into effect today.

Everything I wrote is still valid though, as the government did not change or add one word to the law since then. Lazy government.

My new year’s resolution is to media whore like it’s 1999. So far so good. I’ll be on CJAD tomorrow at 7:10 AM, CKNW on Sunday at 4:30 PM (EST) and on other radio stations Monday morning. Just waiting on The National. Call me, CBC!
Great interview Allen. As you kow I was blown away that CTV allowed you to speak the truth to power.
