How does this affect you?

Why does this matter to Canada?


  Canada lags other countries in productivity

  Lower investment in ICT is the primary reason Canada is falling behind

  Digital Media is the core of ICT NOW and in the future


  What will happen if Canada continues to fall behind?

  We will soon reach a point where we can no longer catch up

  We must become a digital nation to keep up to other countries

What is a Digital Nation?

  Every citizen is connected   All content used in society is

available   An ownership model is fair and

transparent   Common activities in society are

just as easy in digital

Ask Yourself

  How is Canada positioned in the new digital economy?

  How do we keep up?   How can Canadians take

advantage of the opportunities discussed here today?

  What can we describe as a goal that will capture the imagination of all Canadians?

Only 1% of Canada’s content is online….

Beware the Under Toad

Digital Content Development & Rights Management

And Garp and Helen and Duncan held their breath; they realized that all these years, Walt had been dreading a giant toad, lurking offshore, waiting to suck him under and drag him out to sea. The terrible Under Toad.

Garp tried to imagine it with him. Would it ever surface? Did it ever float? Or was it always down under, slimy and bloated and ever watchful for ankles its coated tongue could snare? The vile Under Toad.”

Introduction

  The changes in broadcasting and distribution.   It’s the bits.   The impact on rights and rights management.   Availability: Getting rights to market.   Enterprise Digital Rights Management   The real terms of trade issue – taxonomy.   Why we regulate?   The impact on our economy.

Pretty complex eh?

The Attributes of Digital Interactive Media

At the core are the bits

And networks of databases of bits.

Digital media are just intersecting databases of bits residing and delivered through various application technologies.

INTERNET Magazine

Newspapers

Web Sites

Radio Television

Bits (digital media) are easily copied.

  Copyright was a social contract that gave creators protection for a fixed time if they published the work.

  Now replication and publication are simple.   And every copy is as good as the first.

Plasticity of Digital Media

  The ease with which you can correct your work is also a liability to owners of works.

  The term “derivative work” has become more important.

Digital Media Ethics

Compactness of Works in Digital Media

  Digital works don’t occupy much space and space is cheap.

  You can store big databases in ways unimaginable in the past.

  You can keep everything.

Equivalence of Works in Digital Media

  Works are protected and regulated by the nature of the work:   Books, photographs, musical

works.

  But what if they are all just digital bits – databases with software that guides how they are consumed?

  How do adapt the law?

Ease of Transmission and Multiple Use

  Ease of transmission means the end of scarcity.

  It means the end of distance.   What is a territory?   What is cultural protection?

So what does that mean on a day to day basis for

companies like Corus?

One Hen

3,300 episodes x 140 countries x 40 languages x multi-platforms

you do the math!

So what are implications for the old rules of rights management?

Availability

  So we have all of these media, how do we make them available to consumers? When they want, how they want, on the platform they are using?   Distributing seamlessly   Enabling common standards   Versioning/purposing to support all the devices we use   Tracking

–  Who watches what when   Valuing

  For the Consumer What does the content mean to me? Is it in context?

That drives consumption

Why do we regulate?

  To manage Human or Societal behavior   We need to ensure a place on the Canadian shelf for Canadian

stories. That is key to our sense of being Canadian   There must a framework

within which content creators and distributors can build viable, vibrant companies

  We have international obligations

EDRM

  If we have rights, how do we manage them?   Rights management is based on keeping accurate records and

acting on them   Today – spreadsheets and “experience” plus lots of paper   Tomorrow – databases and electronic data exchange

  This is a huge process change:   Standards of records   Definable contract terms   People to accurately manage inputs and outputs.

Taxonomy and Terminology

  Tax what?   Dictionary Definition - Taxonomy:

  The science or technique of classification

  Practical Realities:   Words need a common definition e.g.

territory   The same words need to be used with

the same meaning by everyone   The understanding/intention must be

translatable into a contract and across language and cultures

What is the public policy impact?

Why do we regulate?

  To manage Human or Societal behaviour?   Do we still need to ensure a place on the Canadian

shelf for Canadian stories? Is this key to our sense of being Canadian

  If there must a framework within which content creators and distributors can build viable, vibrant companies, what is it?

  We have international obligations. Do they matter?

TOMORROW?

Content creation

  How do we develop the rules to sustain/promote a viable and credible content creation industry for Canada?

  New rules and board for Canada Media Fund.   CRTC examination of its rules and the CRTC New Media

policy.   Provincial Initiatives

What does this mean for the economy?

  The creative industries are job engines   In 2007/08 The film and television production sector

alone employed more than 131,800 people directly and indirectly across Canada – 41,600 in Ontario

  Relatively small additional investments produce dramatic increase in those numbers.

  Canadians are creative across all media fields – we punch above our weight.

Summary What is our digital Under Toad?

We must assess the basics starting with the bits.

We need to realize that some of the most important aspects of the challenge might not be getting the attention they deserve.
