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. "

    If you are making 6 figures in the USA you can afford insurance. With insurance you aren't going bankrupt due to health probelms. Even with out insurance you should still be able to pay for it. You do have an emergency situation bank account right?
