Title
What is Bill C-32?
Abstract
Bill C-32 is officially known as the Copyright Modernization Act. It was an attempt at a “Balanced Copyright” act introduced in Parliament on June 2, 2010, by the Conservative Party — Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Industry, and the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. It contains changes to Canadian Copyright Law that are hotly contested by artists and authors of cultural media. The Bloc, NDP and Liberal parties are opposed to the act being passed in its current state, and are calling for amendments to be made.
