In the new media hearings, the chair emphasized a fundamental principle in his conversation with SOCAN, reminding the witnesses that in the new media world, the consumer is in control, not the content provider. Consumers will find the content they want, regardless of where in the world it is hosted.<\/p>\n

SOCAN was asking for regulatory constraints on Canadian hosted websites to require that Canadian content be made available. SOCAN suggests that Canadians want to have access to Canadian content, so the Chair wanted to know why it needs to be regulated. If there is a commercial advantage to making Canadian content available, why does it need to be regulated? In the alternative, since consumers can seek out content world wide, why would we want to disadvantage Canadian operators of websites.<\/p>\n

SOCAN suggested that a commercial website including professional blogging sites could be subject to government licensing requirements under the Broadcast Act. Commissioner Denton suggested that SOCAN’s proposal could result in significant government restrictions in the ability for Canadians to speak. SOCAN’s response was to push the problem back onto the CRTC – that it would be the Commission’s job to carve out some kind of subset of Canada’s websites upon which to impose licensing restrictions.<\/p>\n

Most government licenses are viewed by the investment community as assets; this one would make most investors run away.<\/p>\n

SOCAN said that they want to make sure that at least the archives section of websites have available Canadian content. In that case, why not ask the national archives to build a repository – a giant bunker of on-line content? Index it properly and the world will be able to find it. Let Canadian hosted sites succeed or fail on their own.<\/p>\n
