Canadian DMCA Coming This Spring

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the riding-the-band-wagon dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian government is reportedly ready to introduce copyright reform legislation this spring, provided that no election is called. The new bill would move Canada far closer to the U.S. on copyright, with DMCA-style anti-circumvention legislation that prohibits circumvention of DRM systems and bans software and mod chips that can be used to circumvent such systems."

    If you wish Xcode would reformat your code for consistency, GTFO.
    If you're overwhelmed by IB's multi-paletted interface, GTFO.
    If you've ever typed a backslash outside of ASCII art, GTFO.
    If you can't intuit your way from HyperTalk to AppleScript, GTFO.

    Bandwagon-jumpers are not welcome among real Mac geeks. Keep your filthy PC fingers to yourself.
