CDN Supreme Court Upholds 'Net Free Speech

Posted by timothy on from the complaints-department dept.

This raises some interesting questions: does this extend to posting benchmarks of computer applications? Dissatisfaction with application security holes? Strike one for the little guy in Canada -- and maybe move here if you want to avoid the DMCA? ;)"

    The court said that consumers not only have a right to express their dissatisfaction with products or services -- including on Internet sites -- but also to read what others have to say.

    They're letting those Canadian people write and read now? What is the world coming to?-)
