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. "

    Bzzzt! Wrong! From the FAQ:

    Circumvention for the purposes of making private copies of sound recordings will not be permitted, however.
