Canadian Music Stars Fight Against DRM

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."

    In your pathetic world, everyone is supposed to subscribe to your personal taste, correct?

    In your ritalin-addled head, you think just because somone defends a band from baseless accusations, that means they actually like the band (or have even heard of the band) ? Who cares about the music - this issue is about laws. Idiot.

    Pull your head out of your own ass and re-read the parent and then my post.

    The parent says BNL was hypocritical because they railed against stealing, and now they're anti-DRM and anti=DCMA lawsuit.

    I'm pointing out to anyone with half a brain, that there is no hypocirsy in those two statements.
    (everyone with a whole brain already knows it)
    But you have made it clear that you don't even have half a brain, so you missed the point. And now that you've posted your considered opinion, everyone elase can see you for what your worth.

    Go criticize someone else's taste in music based on their logic (as opposed to any statement). idiot.

    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.
