Canadian Heritage committee  From my point of view, I think it's basically the way that the law will settle a small problem, because if it's clear on the basis of the law, like copyright exists and people own their rights and everything.... The question of trying to solve the problem of each of the media, or each support, or each way that we're going to distribute, will never be solved; this will always evolve.

Canadian Heritage committee  It may be someone very important.

Canadian Heritage committee  There's always a way to reach an agreement, and that's why we have contracts. When you put a contract on the table, both parties read it, negotiate, say they don't like clause 1, 2 or 4. They change it, negotiate and agree all the time. As long as you work with contracts, there's no problem; people agree.
