    Hi Declan,
    
    As has earlier been reported, the Canadian Supreme Court heard arguments on
    Dec. 3 in the much-anticipated "Tariff 22" case that addressed the prospect
    of a new tariff for music online. The court focused on both questions of the
    applicability of the tariff to sites located outside of Canada as well as
    the impact of caching on copyright law.
    
    I've posted my blog of the hearing here http://www.lexinformatica.org.
    
    The judicial review by the Federal Court of Appeals can be found here

    Board decision here http://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/decisions/m27101999-b.pdf [PDF]
