Musician Lobby Terms Balanced Copyright "Disgusting"

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday August 30, 2009 @02:35AM from the less-than-impressed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While most of the attention at Thursday's Canadian copyright town hall was on the recording industry's strategy to pack the room and exclude alternate voices, the most controversial activity took place outside the hall. It has now been revealed that security guards threatened students and a Member of Parliament for distributing leaflets, and the American Federation of Musicians termed the MP's leaflet, which called for balanced copyright, 'disgusting' and demanded a retraction and apology. At this point, such an admission seems unlikely."

until copyright is down to 7 years or less we should "pirate" away. peer-to-peer if that's your method but i really prefer USB keys. there is no chance of getting caught and you can transfer a lot of data to people you know and trust.
