With a second straight minority government no party will want to be the party that force ANOTHER election... Why wouldn't the Libs or NDP go for it? All things considered (economy, environment, Afghanistan, health care, etc.) Bill C-61 is peanuts and is of little relative importance!
Do you really save THAT much money by downloading music? I've got about 10-15gb's of mp3's in my iTunes, most of which is purchased. My roomate has 100+gb's of music, most of which is garbage and even more of it does not even have a single listen. Do you really need that much music? With services like Pandora and Last.fm one can very easily find new music these days and with .mp3 purchases it is easy to buy singles if the rest of the albums are terrible. I think it's in the artists best interest to make songs available for free download but don't alot of artists already do this? Bill C-61 does not prohibit this does it?
Kermitology, if I wanted to download your free album I'd still be able to under C-61 correct?
Maybe I'm out of touch but I really don't see the big problem with the bill...
All other political partisanship aside I think one would be naive to change their vote based on this bill and ignore the other issues currently facing us!
