Michael Geist’s Hart House lecture, Our own creative land, provides a great overview and primer on Canadian copyright law in the era of social software. It can be downloaded in podcast or PDF form.

The lecture was delivered on March 30, 2006 and broadcast on TVO in late May. However, I was only able to catch up with my reading on the return flight from the IABC International Conference in Vancouver.

I’d recommend this as a must-read for anyone interested in the current copyright regime in Canada and one person’s view of how it should be reformed.
