Canadian Music Stars Fight Against DRM

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-ok-to-share-eh dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Some of Canada's best known musicians, including Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlin, Sum 41, and Barenaked Ladies, have formed a new copyright coalition. The artists say in a press release that they oppose file sharing lawsuits, the use of DRM, and DMCA-style legislation and that they want record labels to stop claiming that they represent their views."

    And trust me, Quebec is better off without you. Americans enjoy coming here, contrary to English Canadians who'd rather see the French culture wiped off the North American map
    What a crock of shit. This is simply a lie propagated by separatist assholes who try to justify their increasingly sorry and irrelevant existence. It's not the French culture we hate, its just these whining lying separatists that have to go.
