Chapter 1: Before the Online Streaming Act: How Canada "Regulates” Its Broadcasting System
From: Canada Vs California
$1.90
In this Chapter author Howard Law provides a primer on how Canada has regulated its broadcasting system for the last several decades as well as the three amendments to this act over this period of time. He explains how public broadcasting is funded in Canda and how Canadian content is mandated, supported, and incentivized to private companies. With the increase of direct-to-consumer content the rules of broadcasting have become un enforceable in their current state and the need for reform has become clear.
