U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA

P Starrson writes " Slashdot readers may recall that last month Canadian policy makers rejected the DMCA for Canada. Not so fast apparently -- the U.S. Trade Representative has released the annual Section 301 report which each year tells the rest of the world that they need stronger intellectual property protection. This year Canada is a particular target -- the U.S. plans to conduct a special review of Canadian policies and explicitly rejects Canada's rejection of the DMCA. A good summary on what this means from Canadian law professor Michael Geist."

    Quebec is not a sovereign nation. Not currently, anyway.

    If you want to be sovereign, I have no problem with that, as long as you come up with your own currency, rather than use the Canadian dollar, sever all ties to Ottawa immediately, including all financial transfers, and don't come asking for foreign aid when you find out it's a tough slog.
