Canadian Copyright Reform Takes Effect
An anonymous reader writes "This morning, the majority of Bill
C-11, Canada's copyright reform bill, took
effect, marking the most significant changes to Canadian
copyright law in decades. Michael Geist summarizes
the changes, which include expanded fair dealing, new protection for
creators of user generated content, consumer exceptions such as time
shifting, format shifting, and backup copies, and a cap on liability
for non-commercial infringement."
The North will rise again!

Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
Do you really want to live in a country where everybody's polite and everybody has health insurance? And the federal police wear silly red uniforms? And gay marriage is legal?
They even have decent transit in some of the cities. Bunch of commies.
Bunch of commies.
Ahem, excuse me sir, but I believe the proper term is "Canuckistanis". Sorry to bother you.
