"DMCA" in Canada

[TheTwisted1]

For those of you who live in Canada, according to The Globe and Michael Geist, the government will be considering a new copyright bill, C-60, to meet the WIPO treaty obligations, which essentially copies the U.S. DMCA. Further, according to Geist, it eliminates fair-use exemptions: "There will be no flexible fair dealing. No parody exception. No time shifting exception. No device shifting exception. No expanded backup provision. Nothing."

And an amazing number of Americans who think they are incredibly stupid, too. And will gladly help with the kicking, as soon as we finish finding the balls of our own government so we can apply the vise-grips there.--

...I think the problem isn't finding them, it's getting past their utter indestructibility in the form of the current government simply not giving one good goddamn what anyone else actually thinks, says, or shouts loudly directly into their ears.

Given that the current government seems to consist of the idiots of both parties, you may have a point.
