Abstract:
This lecture focuses on the privacy implications of several pieces of Canadian legislation. It will touch upon the Canadian copyright laws (our own DMCA), the debate over the public or private nature of court records (what are the implications of this choice?), and the overlapping anti-terrorism and money laudering legislaitons. Its goal is to increase our knowledge and foment awareness of the privacy dimensions of these bills. Ken Anderson will address these issues from a legal standpoint and will examine their implications for our private life.
