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."

    I take it that you are an American? I can tell by the set upon flavour of your comment. To you I say, 'What hasn't the American government done to anybody, to deserve anything in return.'

    My personal favourite is re-electing George Bush. And its not good enough to say you didn't vote for him because nobody went out rioting after he was re-elected. Same difference in my book.
