Well done! Excellent!

Thanks for uploading this!

I wish I was better prepared, honestly wasn't expecting to get a chance to speak, and it was tough with the 3 minutes ticking down (there was a big clock off screen)... but I'm glad I was able to bring up a few points that no one else had, even if they could have been expressed a little more eloquently.

What of response did you get? Did you hear anything at this consultation that would help turn you in favour of copyright reform as it proposed now?

[balleyne]

Wow, so, I haven't been getting YouTube notifications for a few months.

There isn't any copyright reform proposed now, but if you mean Bill C-61, I don't think anything could persuade me in favour of that. Effective copyright reform shouldn't pit artists against consumers.
