Michael Geist notes that countries around the world are starting to rebel against the extreme, unbalanced copyright laws that the entertainment industry has won for itself, and suggests that Canada should follow their leads:
* the Australian lead of moving toward fair use
* the UK lead in holding hearings on the dangers associated with DRM
* the French lead of considering legalized P2P with a levy system to cover audio and video downloads
* the US lead on legislation that allows for increased of Internet materials in the classroom
* the South Korean lead of not prosecuting downloaders for personal purposes
* the majority of the world's population which has not ratified the WIPO Internet treaties nor extended the term of copyright beyond life of the author plus 50 years
