Canadian Copyright Group Seeks To License the Net

An anonymous reader writes "A new Toronto Star article from Michael Geist not only describes why Canadian Ministers of Education are pushing a copyright proposal that will harm Internet access, but also reveals how a copyright group is seeking to create a new license for Internet content. Access Copyright, a copyright collective, wants to use a new international text standard to license everything from books to blogs. Geist outlines in his blog how Canadians can fight back against these bonehead proposals."

...Proving yet again, that this battle over "copyright" is nothing of the sort. It's a battle over control, and a losing battle at that.

...how a copyright group is seeking to create a new license for Internet content.

Gosh! I wasn't aware the Internet was theirs to license. Silly me.

Someone should copyright their arses

Noone said it cant be done right ?

There is NO difference between trying to copyright the WORLD, the UNIVERSE, the MOON, or AN ARSE and trying to copyright the INTERNET.

These people should be SUED TO HELL. These people should be banned from government work, public service, and even stock markets or anything related to people.

This is not an extreme radical jacobin statement im making - these kind of people are just watered down nazis, in pursuit of control - only with slightly more non-violent means. Other than this, there is no difference between them.
