Intellectual property law is good. Excess in intellectual property law is not. This blog is about excess in IP and related law. I have practiced law with prestigious firms and successfully acted for interveners in several important Supreme Court cases. I've also been in government & academe. My views are purely personal. Nothing on this blog should be taken as legal advice. I am a policy provocateur and currently not practising law. My email address is hknopf@gmail.com.

Canada Kicks Worldwide Butt on Facebook Privacy Issues
Congratulations to Canada's Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart, and to complainant CIPPIC (Pippa Lawson and David Fewer) for kicking butt and getting Facebook to improve on a worldwide basis. See this.
Now, if only the CRTC could show such leadership on net neutrality and if Parliament could show such leadership on copyright reform, and the Competition Bureau could show such leadership on competition law re ISP and wireless issues, not to mention Ticketmaster, etc., Canada would be an even better place.
