Day of Reckoning?

If Michael is right, we copyright people will have have a tense and interesting summer ahead.

The long awaited/dreaded/overdue/delayed/anticipated (take your pick) Conservative copyright bill is apparently at hand in the next week or two.

If this proves to be true, and the bill is as controversial as Michael suggests, one can count on a busy summer of lobbying, op-eds, and caterwauling on all sides. Naturally, this will all happen outside of Parliament and outside of any committee, unless the Government takes the extraordinary step of holding committee hearings during the summer.

One of the key issues to watch will be to figure out where the Liberals stand and who speaks for the Liberals on these issues.
