In my first podcast for Law is Cool, I had a conference call with Dr. Sam Trosow and a group of political bloggers about copyright and Bill C-61. They are concerned about the impact of the proposed legislation on creators and consumers of digital media. Special thanks to Omar Ha-Redeye and Scott Tribe for making this show possible.
