Canadian Dcma-type Bill Introduced - Canada's version of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Dooga
Today on June 12, 2008, Industry Canada Minister Jim Prentice introduces the Canadian version of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This means that Canada will also seek to prosecute and sue average citizens through the monitoring of bit torrent and p2p sharing clients and tracking IP addresses with fake trackers.

In 1998, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has be passed in the United States, causing over tens of thousands of downloaders their lifetime's savings, due to the high lawyer fees and outrageous fines.

In an attempt to protect copyright holders, this law will attempt to prosecute and fine and maybe even jail downloaders through a criminalized system, where the government now has legitimate methods of threatening and prosecuting downloaders.

The US government has not paid any artists, and are keeping the money from the fines for themselves.

Canadians hope that the law will be more reasonable. However, calling your MP may prevent this bill from being passed.

That is odd, because by all accounts, this law does not work very well. Why? With millions and millions of people downloading, it is damn near impossible to enforce. I am pretty sure that we already have a law about uploading, which is much easier to enforce. After all, if you cut off the source of the piracy, it slows it down more effectively than those who download.

    But what is your opinion. Should Canada remain in Afghanistan? My opinion is really quite similar
    to what the Manley suggested. Canada's armed forces should remain in Afghanistan if we are given
    more support from our allies in NATO. The combat role that we have taken on is not necescerily the
    most important role, but it is one of the most dangerous and we most definately nee...

    the music and since they were with Apple itunes it was impossible to play them on any other devices,
