Canada Says No To DMCA

Posted by Hemos on from the praise-canada dept.

P Starrson writes " The Canadian government has reportedly said no to the DMCA. It released its plans for copyright reform today with a limited anti-circumvention provision that would not cover the likes of DeCSS. It even avoided the U.S. "notice and takedown system" that has caused a big headache for U.S. ISPs. A good summary is available from Canadian law professor Michael Geist. "

    No, asshat, it would not. What the fuck is the matter with you dumbasses? Do you think that somehow having an album for sale means you make metric fucktons of money? Are you really THAT GODDAMNED STUPID?

    No, but he would probably like to. He tries to do so by making laws.

    He probably doesn't make much, but he just blames it on P2P instead of realizing that he's a useless cunt who lacks talent. Much like you, then :)
