- The Saga of Canada’s “Making Available Right” in Three Acts by Cameron Hutchison
- “Enter our protagonist – the “making available right” [MAR] – which effectively identifies the point of upload as the situs of infringement, thus promising to remedy this situation. The uploader is the one who perpetrates infringement and this entity is now deterred from doing this for fear of being sued. […] it matters not whether the work uploaded is ultimately streamed or copied – we have “our man” and we do not need to worry about those downstream parties.”
- Slaw also has an entire category dedicated to Intellectual Property
