It's utterly a spectacle to watch how continually stubborn the entertainment/software industry is when it comes to fighting piracy. There are countless progress measures that a company/industry could take to curb illegal use of their software, but instead they form groups and pressure the government to continue fighting their fight for them. Canada isn't the most dangerous target, just the easiest.

Loved the last bit of that article...

Quote:
And what does Canada think about this? The country didn't bother to file a response this year, though government responses are welcome. Back in 2007, the Department of Foreign Affairs made clear its own position: "In regard to the watch list, Canada does not recognize the 301 watch list process. It basically lacks reliable and objective analysis. It's driven entirely by US industry. We have repeatedly raised this issue of the lack of objective analysis in the 301 watch list process with our US counterparts."
