US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy
An anonymous reader writes "Following up on an earlier story, the IIAA wants to add Canada to a blacklist of the worst intellectual property offenders. A powerful coalition of U.S. software, movie and music producers is urging the Bush administration to put Canada on an infamous blacklist of intellectual property villains, alongside China, Russia and Belize. 'Canada's chronic failure to modernize its copyright regime has made it a global hub for bootleg movies, pirated software and tiny microchips that allow video-game users to bypass copyright protections', the International Intellectual Property Alliance complains in a submission to the U.S. government."
Fuck You!
...
This is just pressure and propanganda to help Harper pass a law to make all the big media corporation happy.
The worst part it's that is probably gonna work
Canada should put the USA on some kind of a rogue counties list , for terrorism, meddling in the internal affairs of other countries, being way too fat and making crappy movies.
Whatever.
Ah fuck it, mod me down. I was going to reply with a long ass speech but I'll just sum it up: random idiots saying shit like "we should blacklist because they " shouldn't be news in the first place.
But then again most other comments are what I would elaborate on anyway..
Souvent, beaucoup de jens oublie qu'il y a deux Canada. Il y a le canada donc vous connaiez et l'autre canada. Ils sont tres different. S.V.P, vous vous souvenez le difference.
Merci.
Because if you don't, this might happen to Toronto and Montreal... it'd be a shame, wouldn't it?
