Bill C-11 came into force on november 7th 2012 to modernize Canada's copyright laws.

In summary the new law grants equitable rights to Canadian professional photographers, allows greater reproduction rights to non-commercial customers, provides broader exceptions to copyright laws for educational purposes, allows more rights to use copyright protected material in creation of non-commercial content and finally prohibits the circumvention of copy protection digital mechanisms.

March 31st is World Backup Day. Just as we must remember to change batteries in smoke detectors when we change time, we must all remember to have a backup and restore strategy on the 31st of March.
