Content-creator

In a gift to many musicians, movie-makers and other content-creators, a federal judge has found that the song “Happy Birthday To You” is entirely in the public domain.

At his meeting with [Susan] Wojcicki, [Justin] Trudeau said he was happy to chat with the head of YouTube about attracting innovative businesses to Canada and building a larger international market for Canadian content-creators.

Through collaborative and comprehensive plans, the team works to ensure that all content being produced reaches its audience, and informs the content-creators to strategize and manage all aspects of their production and distribution.

At Google, YouTube has born the brunt of the backlash — from advertisers, content-creators, parents, and users who say that the site fails to effectively enforce its rules banning disturbing and offensive content, which is consumed by millions, sometimes without human review.

We’re now at a point where there’s a nexus between the content-creators and the content-providers.

Once legislation is in place, the internet platforms and content-creators can negotiate terms around the use of content. […] As under Canada’s program to compensate authors for books used in public libraries, a government could impose a tax on digital advertising, with the revenues transferred to content-creators according to some formula. This would give a government the power to disqualify some content-creators for essentially political reasons, however, which would be deeply concerning for free speech and democracy.
