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."
I think I speak for many Americans when I say:
Please help us, we can't run our country!
Living With a Nerd
AMERICA! Fuck yeah! Comin' again to save the motherfuckin day yeah! AMERICA! Fuck yeah!
I'd post the rest of the lyrics, but they're copyrighted.
No, it should have been said in both official languages: "Fuck off! / Va te faire foutre!"
There is a spellbook here; eat it? [ynq]
Scary thing is that Stevie the Cowboy will likely agree to this...
You're right about that. I've yet to hear of any American initiative that Steven Harper didn't immediately support. He even let the USA rip us off of a billion dollars in the softwood lumber dispute, even after repeated decisions of Nafta commissions that the Americans didn't have a leg to stand on. Which makes me wonder why we're even a part of Nafta, since it's clear the same thing is going to happen anytime there's a dispute about anything.
He made a unilateral decision to put us in Afghanistan, which most Canadians oppose very strongly. He wanted to put us in Iraq, but fortunately didn't have power at the time. He will most certainly put us in Iran if George the giggling murderer gets his way there.
I think you might mean the MPAA, not the RIAA ... but your point is well taken. Regarding whether Canada is a major source of pirated movies, did you not read the reference article I provided?
The more you regulate a company, the worse its products become.
Yes, I agree; this is blatantly a statement.
Heh That would be:
"Fuck off! / Tabarnak ton camp, criss d'asti de chien sale, man!"

You're right. The total economic devastation of the last seven years has only been exceeded in severity by the utter eradication of every single freedom ever known.
Somebody please save us from BeelzeBush the AntiClinton!!!
Whaddaya know, a Canadian "W"! This sounds just like "You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror."
W..w..W - Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo.
You signature is a good place to start looking for an answer for that.

Whats long and pointy and hangs between Bush's legs?
Harper's tie...
This is because Canada buys its tanks from Europe.
If by "In Toronto" you mean "3500km to the west", then yes, X-Files was shot in Toronto.
Canada has tanks?
Does Canada know?
