Canadian Gov't Asks Public About New Copyright Law

Posted by timothy on from the hunched-on-the-border-stealing-our-wifi dept.

Mike Lawrie writes "The so-called Canadian DMCA has had a long history. Historically, proposed legislation has favoured the views of CRIA, the Canadian arm of the RIAA almost completely. However, this time around the government is consulting the public before drafting the bill. They have launched a (Linux-based!) website designed to provide a public forum for discussion. Now is the time to speak up."

    If I was the CRIA, I would be hiring a bunch people to go online and stear the conversations towards my own agenda. Good thing we slashdotted the website. We have foiled their schemes!

    Odd. Many Canadians refer to Americans as "Upper Mexicans".
