Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week

P Starrson writes "A leading Canadian television network is reporting that the Canadian government will introduce copyright legislation next week that will bring DMCA-like provisions north of the border. Amazingly, the Canadian recording industry, which previously praised the reforms, now says they aren't good enough. Canadian law prof Michael Geist cuts through the spin in the pair of blog postings titled Fact and Fiction and CRIA's New Take on Copyright Reform."

So the pushers are raising the bar for the video junkies again, now there's a surprise! You could just quit! Oh wait! It's neccessary to survival isn't it? Sorry I forgot. Yes, It's sarchasm.

More like Hitler...

Hitler operated the same exact way - asking for one thing and then demanding another when that was granted.

You know the music industry up there shouldn't be able to have things both ways. If they want to put a stop to legal file sharing then those micropayments for every CD-R and CD-writer should be eliminated also. Like the U.S., Canada has built their own copywrite prison and it will take a major legislative act to right things again.
