Canadian DMCA Bill Withdrawn

Posted by kdawson on from the voice-of-the-people dept.

ToriaUru writes to let us know that Michael Geist is reporting that the Canadian Minister of Industry will not be introducing the proposed Canadian Digital Millennium Copyright Act legislation as scheduled. That proposed legislation, discussed here a couple of weeks back, is now reaching Canada's mainstream press. Geist doesn't speculate on why the legislation is being withdrawn, but it could have something to do with the massive popular outcry against the proposal that Geist helped to orchestrate.

    Well, people wondered if the old guys could still rock. Answer: hell yes! Took it to the next level. First vid from O2 show: It's been a long time since I rock and rolled, it's been a long time since I did the stroll. How appropriate!

    LOL, you made my day. Thanks. My trolling worked and I got you all worked up!

    I admire your ability to take arguments and spin them around 180 degrees, all the while sounding very nasty. You should apply for a job at Fox News.
