The major broadcasters and studios are getting all up in our business and I can see the day where you are required to hire nothing but union workers (and at union rates) for any videoblog project you do with a major film studio or, say, the CBC. Once that fight comes our way, regulation won't be far behind.

But I do feel that what you say is valid none the less. If the commission meets in Winnipeg in September, maybe I'll citizen journalize it. Hey, that's an idea. A new media presence at the hearings!

I'm 100% anti-censorship, and I detest any suggestion that regulation of content creation somehow defends freedom of expression. Why people allow these pseudo-Orwellian demagogues to control our lives is beyond me, but I refuse to play along. Fight the good fight. Casey: Great points, and I totally agree.
