CRIA, MPAA Demand Expanded DMCA For Canada

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian Recording Industry Association and the MPAA's Canadian subsidiary are demanding that Canada adopt copyright laws that go beyond even the DMCA. The groups demand anti-circumvention law, three strikes and you're out legislation, and increased secondary liability for websites. The demands come as part of the national copyright consultation in which hundreds of Canadians have spoken out against such reforms."

They can demand all they want.

Doesn't mean anyone in going to listen to those criminals.

Oh, and if you defend their position, you are ultimately working for their cause. Even if you're just stating their position (and thereby promote it).

"In a lot of ways Canada, like the US under President Obama, has done alright on Net Neutrality issues."

Yeah, like when the FCC told Comcast to knock it off with messing with people's Bittorrent.

Oh, wait - that happened under the Bush administration. Well, I'm sure Obama has done plenty since his inauguration...[searches Google]...Hmmm, I see a whole page of hits on his campaign promises.

Well, that's fine - everyone knows that he will fulfill all of his campaign promises.
