Microsoft Misleads On Canadian Copyright Reform

An anonymous reader writes "As the battle rages over a Canadian DMCA, Microsoft Canada has published an op-ed in a political newspaper that Michael Geist describes as astonishingly misleading and factually incorrect. Microsoft tries to argue that Canadian copyright law provides no legal protections, even after it received one of the largest copyright damage awards in Canadian history just one year ago."

Stupid lies are still lies. Motives matter to the person themself, and if documentable with evidence can be used to predict whether someone will do something again. But "benefit of the doubt" is sloppy journalism. If they're going to report on someone's public statements, and especially if they go so far as to point out they're false, an actual journalist will find whether there's evidence that the liar knew the truth, or willfully ignored it.

I'm interested in the results of these strangers and their lies. How they feel about them, not so much. Unless they regret lying enough to not do it again, which usually involves being exposed as a liar in so many words.
