Bump - and I will continue to do so every day until this POS legislation is righfully defeated.
"Bill C-60 American entertainment companies like the DMCA, and they're lobbying the Canadian government to make our copyright reform legislation more like the DMCA. Specifically, they want to make it illegal to circumvent "
technical protection measures" on copyrighted material for any reason, and to implement a regime that
forces Internet service providers (ISPs) to censor their subscribers based merely on allegations of copyright infringement."
I own over 250 DVD's. All in their originally packaged case and on display if I want to watch it at any one time. I have never uploaded any movie or song to the internet so that someone who has not purchaed it could download it for free. If this passes Parliment, then Shaw better be ready for the largest uploading session in the history of Calgary ISP users before the completely useless Senate rubber stamps it.
Dont get me wrong, I am not a net neutrality supporter, I think if Google wants to remove your video from youtube (like the one in another post) they should be able to do so (everyone has the right to create their own site and upload whatever useless content they want). But when entertainment companies get to call the shots as to what I use my Internet time with, with nothing other than their assumptions, that crosses the line.
