Ah, geez, a rookie MP from Quebec, goes out West, and gets all that Bare Naked Ladies and Sam Roberts (dropped by his US label last month) man-sweat in her eyes, and all of a sudden, she's going to re-write the entire copyright law to suit 5 branch-plants of multi-national companies. Isn't that sweet.
''We are going to make sure that downloading stays illegal,'' said Helene Scherrer, a rookie Quebec MP sworn in as minister last December.
''We will make it a priority so it is done as quickly as possible.''Officials at Heritage Canada, in tandem with Industry Canada, will soon meet to draft legislation to amend a loophole in the Copyright Act that permits music downloading,
First off, it's not downloading that CRIA coached you on, it's uploading, you silly bint (that's what they wanted to rape the privacy of Canadians about, not downloading).
Uhm, here's a clue: remember the keruffle about Amazon?, No, because you weren't there! Remember the kerfuffle about the CDR fund not being paid to almost anybody?
So's here what you do sweetie, since you're probably going to get your ass shot out of Parliament come the election, whenever it is, sit down, shut the fuck up, and stop talking about what you don't know about.
Okay, it's not a loophole, it's about the public domain, and the protection of the public domain. That is what you should be protecting Ms. Scherrer, not the business of a foreign business.
Never mind how it affects television, publishing, comix, web sites, newspapers, or any other form of creative expression.
Got. To. Protect. The. Star. Fucking.
