Canadian Copyright Official Dumped Over MPAA Conflict
An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian government's top copyright policy maker has been moved aside after revelations that she was in a personal relationship with Hollywood's top Canadian lobbyist. The development is raising questions about how the MPAA got an anti-camcording bill passed in only three weeks and what it means for the introduction of a Canadian DMCA."
Is Canadians should re-establish their rights. First, their right to Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Glock. Then tell their public officials that not only do they want the camcorder bill rescinded, and the Canadian DMCA dropped. But also a law passed rescinding ALL of the MPAA's copyrights for copyright abuse.
Big Troll but it's truly what should be done. I am not sure what the basis of legality for copyrights in Canada is. Here in the U.S., our patent and copyright laws are supposed to be for a limited time. And for the purpose of further invention and the arts. (No other purpose.)
Well,...it's not. And just as nearly all of our rights are slowly being eroded by re-interpretations, expansions, etc. *shrug* Just wait until the DFSA (Digital Free Speech Act) is passed restricting free speech to only verbal. I mean, the Constitution never explicitly allowed for digital speech. Therefore, it's clear that expressing your point of views online is NOT protected by the U.S. Constitution. (Ain't revisionist interpretation a !@#$%.)
Thankfully, a small segment of the American populace endeavor to maintain our 2nd Ammendment rights in order to ensure the rest of our rights.
