US Says Canadian Copyright As Bad As China's, Russia's

Posted by timothy on from the but-very-courteous-just-the-same dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The US is blaming Canada in a new report that claims that Canadian copyright and intellectual property laws are as bad as those found in China and Russia. Michael Geist notes that Canadian officials have dismissed these findings in the past, arguing it 'does not recognize the Special 301 process due to its lacking of reliable and objective analysis.'" (Read more about the annual Special 301 report.)

    And as an added bonus, I get modded flamebait for thinking Canada will bend to the USA. Because y'know, that's never happened before :P

    Especially the first one.

    It seemed kookie at first. But just listen to it. You are willing to watch 10 mins of someone doing something screwed up on youtube why not give this a go?

    Canadian copyright laws would change if Canada produced anything of value in a digital format but they don't.

    All their movie stars, musicians and developers come to America to make movies, music and games and who can blame them? America just is better than Canada not matter how much Canada's inherited French arrogance claims that's not true.

    They need to drop the jealousy if they want to compete with the big boys (aka America).
