Another Stab At a Canadian DMCA

Posted by timothy on from the acta-ing-up-up-there dept.

whisper_jeff writes "News has come out that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is planning on bringing the DMCA to Canada. As a Canadian, this disgusts me. Watching Harper sell out Canadians in favour of US lobby groups is an affront. I am hopeful that enough Canadians write to Harper and their MPs to voice their disapproval of this effort."

      Why not just put a pie in his face? It seems like that's almost par for the course, with reports like this.

    I hope our US congress claims copyright over the DMCA and files a takedown notice on you Canadians. Stealing our horrible draconian legislation? You wish!

    Such a prospect assumes that there exists Canadian IP that is worth protecting.

    Actually, being upset with your PM sounds a lot more British than American. Being pissed off because your President has dark skin -- now THAT'S American!

    Isn't William Shatner worth protecting?

    Exactly! We need to protect everyone from the horrors of Nickleback. Perhaps we should give them 300 year copyright?

    careful canada, you guy's are dangerous.

    Hey, you've obviously never spent any time in one of those wild Canadian border towns. Take in the Donkey Show at West Lynne, Manitoba some time and you'll see how dangerous those Canucks can be.

    I think Celine Dion, William Shatner, Bryan Adams, and Nickelback would beg to differ!

    And that bitch Anne Murray too...
