Canadian Minister Promises to Fix Copyright Law

Mashiki writes "In Canada, we can download Mp3's and their assorted goodness without too much of a hassle, recently the CRIA and their friends lost the court case. Well, it would appear that the new Federal Heritage Minister Helene Scherre, has spoken and those words were: 'As minister of Canadian Heritage, I will, as quickly as possible, make changes to our copyright law.'"

I'm more concerned with the fact that I'm getting AOL CDs in the mail with jewel cases made of wood lol.

Ah, good.

My faith in human (read: political) nature has been restored!

And as citizens of Canada...

[heironymouscoward]

We will, as quickly as possible, remove minister Helene Scherre from office.

(/me dreams of being Canadian just for a while)

Re:If you're in Canada (like me) reminder her...

I think I will remind her, since she is a public official, contact information for her office and her email address were not that difficult to find. I sure hope that this information does not fall into the hands of hoards of Internet users.

Does protecting 'Canadian Heritage' mean just no downloading Bryan Adams and Celine Dion mp3s?

And who should I vote for who'll oppose this? The NDP? HAHAHAHAHA. That'd be like cutting off my nose despite my face.

Let's face it, 99% of the sound technicians in the world are employed with the hope of making Britney not sound like a wailing banshee. I mean, they've done an incredible job, but you've got to realize that if Britney was forced out of the music industry--and into the porno industry--it would leave tens of thousands of audio engineers on the street.

Please, won't someone think of the engineers?

Though, on the plus side, the porno industry would probably support a great deal of 'cosmetic engineers', with the hope of making her breasts look larger, and that schnoz look smaller. So, maybe it averages out in the end.

If the west separates, it will be because of Toronto. :-)
