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. Source: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...Story/WBmingram

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.

Should Canada's Armed Forces Remain In Afghanistan
- (3)
QUOTE http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/02/08/...fghanistan.html There as been much
debate (at least in Canada) over this issue recently. It could even be the cause of an election.
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...

Canadian Police Tolerates Piracy For Personal Use

footsteps. Piracy for personal use should not be attacked. Only piracy that makes a profit, and
bootlegging should be targeted. I do a lot of pirating and I hope the US will learn something from
Canada (but I doubt it). What do you guys think of this news? Any Canadians around to comm...
Man Pays Big Tax Bill In Coins And $1 Bills
- (11)
I found this article to be very funny and intresting at the same time. A landlord had to pay his
property tax bill which was $12,656 dollars so he decided to pay it all in coins and dollar
bills /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />. The
land lord said that "he wanted people to see the pain of his property tax bill". He also said"I did
it so people can physically see what $12,000 is". Yea right i doubt that he wanted to do that
he just wanted to give the bank a hard time and get a good laugh out of it. /laugh....
Apple And Emi Make A Deal To Remove Copyright Protection

Well I found this interesting as I was browsing tech news, the article says it best "In a move that
could have a big impact on online music". EMI will begin selling songs through Apple Itunes without
the anti-piracy protection on the songs. Now why would this be such a big deal to make money of
course and the fact businesses like MEI have been fighting to bust people for illegal downloads of
the music and since they were with Apple itunes it was impossible to play them on any other devices,
but now that got thrown away. Of course those song without the protection will...
