Upcoming TV, eh? Blogtalkradio shows: digital issues, Flashpoint, UFOs

The Sunday, June 29 the TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show will focus on two issues with huge implications, Bill C-61 and net neutrality. Bill C-61 is the act to amend the copyright law that has implications for digital downloads of music, movies, television, etc. From Maclean’s:

You would be allowed to record a TV or radio show, but no more than one copy. And if broadcasters started putting up locks to block your PVR, you could face fines for hacking it.

The net neutrality debate has opened up discussion on how much control service providers should exert over Internet access, with Bell’s throttling practises to limit access speeds a hot button topic right now.

Listen live Sunday at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern and join the discussion by calling 646-200-4063 (or sign in and look for the Click to Talk button on the show site). Or catch the podcast afterwards.

    “La Presse television critic, Hugo Dumas’s review was headlined ‘Bad vaudeville in hijabs.’ He opened with, ‘Like our friends in the Rest of Canada, the series … is polite, smiles abundantly, respects the conventions, does not provoke fiery debate and … flirts with being utterly boring.’ The coup de grâce of the article was this: ‘I had the unpleasant impression that I was attending very ordinary summer theatre.’ Meanwhile, Caroline Roy, at Le Journal de Montréal, seemed to like the series (it’s often difficult to tell with her), and offered, ‘Prejudices between the Muslims and ‘Canadiens de souche’ explode but always in a humorous tone.'” Read more.
