Title: A Postgame On Canada's Copyright Reform
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on June 22, 2012, 04:56:27 PM

On Monday, after multiple attempts over several years, Canada's House of Commons passed Bill C-11 (previously known by other names), a sweeping copyright reform bill. Senate approval is all but assured, and the bill is essentially certain to become law in the near future. Luckily, unlike SOPA/PIPA in the States, C-11 is not a ridiculous, draconian internet lockdown bill. In fact, there's a lot to celebrate in the bill, though that celebration is marred by one significant problem: the digital locks portion, which is similar to the DMCA's anti-circumvention rules.

Good posting.  This is relevant to my interests.
Soon, it'll be time to release the Krakken.
