Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties
canwaf writes "According to the CBC, and the other guys: In a 9-0 decision, Canada's highest court ruled, despite the fact that ISPs provide the means for piracy, they are not liable for what people download. They continue in their decision that Internet access providers are not bound by federal copyright legislation. Coupled with an earlier story on Slashdot, this is a very good thing." Edward Scissorhands was one of many readers to link to the Globe and Mail's article, too.
My goodness, how does he type? Must be why we couldn't just accept the story he submitted. Probably had words mispelled and everything... we understand.
Don't you remember how skilled Edward is with his fingers? I bet he would have no problem typing at >800 characters per minute, if only they gave him a steel keyboard.
I love C++
I wish I had mod points +1 funny ;)
Party?!? What kind of party is this? Where's the damn keg?
Virtus Junxit Mors Non Separabit
Don't apologize. We had to put her somewhere, and lok at the nice prison the built for her in the middle of the desert.
Sometimes preserving the integrity of Canadian culture means you have to sabotage american culture.
- sarcasm is just one more service we offer -
Hmmm... Maybe I should consider lobbying....
(the palm-greasing, you wierdo)
7) I don't love the Queen of England. In fact the Royal Family is the upper-class equivalent of inbred trailer trash.
8) I never understood why two Canadian characters had silly British accents. But it's Southpark so you have to love them.
9) Celine Dion??? Jeez, you'd think that by now foreign relations with the US would have collapsed when they realized we exiled her to Las Vegas.
10) Very cool flag. Except that the Marijuana Party try to smoke it when there's a shortage.
Oh yeah, foreigners are completely welcome here in the US. Unless they are muslim. Or look muslim. Or don't look muslim, but speak Arabic. Or even something that sounds Arabic. Or they do none of the above but wear a turban. Or they're French.
Or they are Indian visiting Silicon Valley. Or Mexican or Latin American visiting, well any of the southern states. Or...
I could go on, but I think I've beaten my point in to the ground. For a country made almost entirely of immigrants (seeing as how we did such a good job of clearing out the locals) you'd think we'd be a tolerant people. But then you'd turn on a talk radio station, and realize you were quite wrong.
