Some reflections on the Australian experience and what they might mean for Canada.

After Google’s move on Thursday, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez sent a written statement calling the companies’ moves “deeply irresponsible and out of touch … especially when they make billions of dollars off of Canadian users” with advertising.

Australia’s regulatory experiment – the first of its kind in the world – also got off to a rocky start, but it has since seen tech companies, news publishers and the government reach a middle ground.

That’s one of the points in the article - despite the dire comments from the two corporations, almost everyone expects it to settle down.

@StillPaisleyCat Yeah it makes total sense. I do wonder if that’s superficial analysis and there is really something important to do differently from Australia.

Hard to know the implications of Canada’s being integrated with the US markets in a way that Australia is not.
