Canada's Copyright Notice Fiasco: Why the Government Bears Responsibility

Posted by timothy on Monday January 12, 2015 @03:33AM from the state-is-never-your-friend dept.

An anonymous reader writes Canada's copyright notice fiasco, with false and misleading notices being sent to thousands of Internet users, has attracted growing attention with the government promising to address the issue. This morning, Michael Geist posts internal government documents that show that the government was aware of these risks before launching the system, but did nothing about it. The documents show that the government decided to forge ahead with the system without any regulations, despite repeated warnings that additional rules on the scope of the notices was needed.

If there is a sentence I could tell the Canadian government it would be " FUCK YOU !! "
Funny, that's the same sentence I hear from Dice with that beta link.
