U.S. Senators Pressure Canada on Canadian DMCA
An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. copyright lobby brought out some heavy artillery last week as
it continued to pressure Canada to introduce a Canadian DMCA. U.S.
Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins gave a public
talk in which he described Canadian copyright law as the weakest in
the G7, while Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Cornyn wrote to
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to urge him to bring in movie piracy
legislation."
If its so great, why does Quebec want off the train?
You == clueless. Michael Geist has already conclusively disproved the notion that even a significant fraction of piracy originates in Canada.
While I think the management of the war in Iraq has been pretty poor...I think we pretty much had full UN authority to go into Iraq...due to resolutions like this [un.org] .
Our 'knock' on the their door was the Serious Consequence mentioned in this and other resolutions.
Not to mention, that Saddam never fully complied with the terms of surrender from Gulf War I...so, technically, we were still at war with him.
I think this has been totally mismanaged, but, not unjustified...if he'd have complied fully, he's still be breathing and torturing people in Iraq to this day.
You might have a point if that was in any way related to how this was presented.
The traitors of the Bush administration didn't bother to try and use those as arguments to justify an invasion as they already knew it wouldn't work.
That's why they dishonestly and with malice aforethought and afore planned intentionally misused the 911 attacks as an excuse to invade Iraq exactly how they stated that they planned on doing back in 2000.
So, trying to defend the worst pack of traitors this country has ever seen based on what might or might not have justified an invasion in your mind is pointless and just demonstrates your complete lack of even the most basic understanding of the issues at hand and their origins.
So if you want to just make up fantasy world scenarios in which an invasion actually was justified, then that's fine. Don't make yourself look stupid by pretending it had a damn thing to do with why we're actually there.
Of course, even if you were dealing with the actual reality, your argument falls apart any time you attempt to use UN sanctions or their violation since by your own argument we'd have to invade Israel long before Iraq.
So, seriously, try and wake up and deal with reality. Quit repeating totally unrelated idiotic nonsense as if it were in any way relevant.
