Canada Says No To DMCA
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. "
1-0 for me being Canadian.
Emigrate. It`s not too late!

Sorry, I had a little something in my throat.
OMG! Wau!
Canada says no to DMC, eh?
Is hip-hop not popular over there or something?
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
with the best governments always have the lousiest weather??
It's the free weed. We just wanna chill, mon, and be getting on with the groovin, and you can't be chillin and groovin if you can't download stuff for free.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
Hopefully that'll redeem Canada from all the recent bad press it got on Slashdot!
:P
What are you talking about? Slashdot and its readership are primarally American. As far as I'm concerned, if they don't like how we're running things up here, that's a sign that we're doing things right
Give it time... between this, the marijuana-reform legislation and the gay and lesbian marriges we'll be part of the Axis of Evil in no time, and they'll start contemplating dropping nuclear-waste-I-mean-bunker-buster-bombs on us too.

Oh, you're the government?
Could you kinda like, um, stop sucking? I'll wave a flag or whatever, maybe even say something nice about the President, but please, stop sucking.

You modded down my anti-Canadian comment? Terrorist.

Because they are the government. Asking the government not to be nosey is like asking a dog not to pee on the rug. Even after so many times saying 'no', when your back is turned **look!** they've gone and done it again! Bad dog!
Repeat. Ad nausem.

Please allow me to hate the creator of the 120-character limit: *HATES*. Thank you.
First "USA - North" say they won't participate in our beloved Star Wars, and now they refuse to embrace our holy copyright law?!
I hope they know what the price of defiance is, and I think I speak for the rest of Jebusland when I say, "Let's roll!"
I expect your people will greet us with Flowers and Candies, too.
Yeah, right.
This, coming from someone whose entire sig is an attempt to scam people. Nice.
Sorry, I missed that. I forgot why they had been called out there. The guy investigating about the vehicle had been told by the psycho that "if he came back with cops, he'd kill them." The guy came back with cops. He killed them. He was an honest psycho.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
That movie was *way* to far fetched. I mean, what are the odds that a US President would invade some foreign country they know next-to-nothing about on completely made up "evidence", just to increase the popularity of the President? Seriously people, get a grip on reality.

Hey. I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader.
And I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled.
And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English and French, NOT American. and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing. DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation, AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH, AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!
CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS! THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY! AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!
MY NAME IS JOE!! AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!
Thank you.

Now I guess I need to start taking back all of those bad things I said about Canada.

All the evangelicals, racists, and conservatives go to the US. And all the sane people go to canada.
Done! We're already a step ahead of you, eh.
The DMCA was not designed to put the government's nose into every aspect of your life. I was designed by content providers/creators...
First the DMCA takes away our rights, and now it's posting on slashdot! Will the tyranny ever end?!
...but my english is awful and my french is even worse...
You could be our next Prime Minister.
Trolling is a art,
As a Canadian I find that very offensive! We're freedom hating socialists and don't you forget it!
Well, maybe Mexico will follow Canada's lead, so we can say, "Two out of three ain't bad."
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
Nice to see that Canada once again has decided not be the US' bitch.
