Canadian DMCA Won't Include Consumer Rights

Posted by Zonk on from the hard-not-to-respect-a-strong-lobby dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As protests mount over the Canadian DMCA, law professor Michael Geist is now reporting that the government plans to delay addressing fair use and consumer copyright concerns such as the blank media tax for years. While the U.S. copyright lobby gets their DMCA, consumers will get a panel to eventually consider possible changes to the law. Many Canadians are responding today with a mass phone-in to Industry Minister Jim Prentice to protest the policy plans."

    that's what, about 85% of the US DMCA?

    You haven't seen the latest exchange rate. It's actually a bit more than 100% of a US DMCA.
