Apparently, CBC doesn't think it needs to change anything re: iCopyright

Posted by Scott Tribe on February 25, 2010, at 4:22 pm |

I just got a heads-up from Cameron McMaster on this blogpost over at CBC’s public affairs blog, regarding the furore a few weeks back over their use of the company iCopyright to try and make money off of people who want to quote full articles or post them at their site in full.

Capital News Online does story on CBC/iCopyright; I do a minor contribution for them.

Posted by Scott Tribe on February 17, 2010, at 9:27 am |

Capital News Online is an online news magazine run by students in the Journalism program at Carleton University in Ottawa. They’ve recently done a story on the recent furore with CBC and it’s decision to use iCopyright to try and license the use of its news articles.

The contradictions of that policy and the [...]

Maybe this CBC iCopyright thing isn't so bad after all...

Posted by Scott Tribe on February 1, 2010, at 12:57 pm |

One of my commentators in the comments section of my blogpost (who runs Progressive Blogger affiliate Views From the Lake) condemning the CBC’s new licensing scheme with American copyright “protectors” iCopyright has come up with another angle on this business:

I think it’s a great business opportunity. I plan on heavy trolling of the [...]

Ridiculous copyright licensing - no thanks CBC

Posted by Scott Tribe on January 30, 2010, at 10:49 am |

I’ve noticed recently at the CBC website that at their news section, they have fine print at the bottom of their articles stating that “new copyright licensing is in effect”. When you click on that, it takes you to a 3rd party group called iCopyright, which then offers a sign-up fee so you can [...]

Want your 15 seconds of fame on CBC?

Posted by Scott Tribe on November 30, 2009, at 8:29 pm |

You can do so by being the person with the winning name entry for a segment of the new CBC Power and Politics Show:

If you are a regular viewer of Power & Politics you may have noticed that we like to end the show with a little tidbit..The problem is… the segment doesn’t [...]

Blogging blahs - but a congrats to Kady O'Malley on getting a CBC gig

Posted by Scott Tribe on October 14, 2009, at 11:27 am |

When you catch a nasty post-Thanksgiving sinus cold, one really doesn’t feel like blogging too much – not even on something you are passionate about – such as politics. In between sniffling and using up half a forest of Kleenex, however, this caught my eye – Kady O’Malley is making the jump to the [...]

Are the Cons. to give public taxpayer money to private media so they can buy sports teams??

Posted by Scott Tribe on April 8, 2009, at 11:47 am |

As you may know, some of the private media companies in Canada are asking for money to help their companies during these tough economic times, and the Conservatives are considering a 150 million $ fund to help them, even as they turned away the CBC’s request for additional funds.

It should be no surprise [...]

Reflections on Gritgirl’s newest video on Harper vs the CBC.

Posted by Scott Tribe on March 28, 2009, at 9:51 am |

Gritgirl released her newest video late yesterday evening. First off, here it is:

My own thoughts are there are probably a lot of Conservatives out there (sadly) that would love to see the CBC go dark. In fact, if you read through some of the Blogging Tory sites, you’ll find no lack of [...]

Some Progressive Bloggers are getting profiled on CBC’s “The National” tonight.

Posted by Scott Tribe on September 30, 2008, at 6:56 pm |

As you may remember, I mentioned we had a CBC crew at the Progressive Bloggers BBQ a couple of weeks back getting some clips for their Susan Ormiston Online show, and also saying they were doing some stuff on CBC’s The National. That evening has apparently come, according to an email from the CBC [...]
