Canadian Government to drop copyright bomb

Tweet

The Canadian Government is preparing to drop a copyright bomb on it's citizenry. Critics say it will look like the American U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Some of the joys of this legislation include: "-- A $500 fine for each illegal file shared online -- Making it illegal to unlock cellphones or copy music from protected CDs to iPods -- Forbidding the right to copy "time shifted" shows onto personal video recorders if flagged by broadcasters. Canadians need to get on the horn to their Powers That Be.
