Jon Arnold / Rob Hyndman
On this week's Canadian IP Thought Leaders podcast, Jon Arnold spoke with Rob Hyndman, a Toronto-based technology lawyer. The topic was how issues around legal intercept and privacy for IP communications are treated in both Canada and the U.S. Rob explained the history leading up to the current state of regulations as well as where things seem to be going. He also talked some of the grass roots efforts underway in both countries that are trying to get the voice of citizens heard in the process as government bodies learn to navigate the choppy waters of regulating the Internet.
