Default Regulate the Net, demands ‘coalition’

Quote:
That’ll protect Canadian identity, according to Richard Hardacre, president of the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA).


“A drift away from regulation could be catastrophic for Canadian identity,” CanWest News Service has him saying. “We could be easily swallowed up by American programming.”


But, “That’s lunacy,” says Iain Grant, an analyst at research firm Seaboard Group, in the story.


“It’s like King Canute trying to stop the tides. There are two countries in the world that are trying to control the Internet: Saudi Arabia and China.”
Hardacre apparently didn’t have any ideas on how George W. Harper’s present Conservative government could, “impose content quotas online or which websites would be affected,” continues the the story.
