Unfortunately, it looks like Harper has already caved when it comes to sound recordings, though. So we can kiss any new entries into Public Domain music here in Canada goodbye for at least another 20-plus years. :-(
And of course since the "Record Mafiaa" has gotten their way with that, you can expect the "Movie Mafiaa" to be clamouring any minute now for the same thing. All in the name of "Free Trade" and "Protecting Intellectual Property Rights".
(Damn, where's that eye roll smiley? Never can find it when I need it.)
