Q & A With Canada's Michael Geist

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fireside-chats dept.

Torrentz writes "P2PNet is running a question and answer session with Canada's Michael Geist, a leading Internet and copyright expert. Geist discusses P2P, the music business, and the future direction of copyright law." From the interview: "My focus has traditionally been on Internet issues and I'm very active on privacy, spam, Internet governance issues. The growing attention to copyright merely reflects its critical importance to the Internet and to creativity and culture more generally."

    He's a law professor and holds a chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law. How much more of an expert do you want?

    Geist actually holds a prestigious Canada Research Chair.

    These are national research chairs, and very hard to get.
