Time to facebook and tweet and email and write letters once again.

How the hell do they keep doing this in a minority government!?!


PMO Issues The Order: Canadian DMCA Bill Within Six Weeks

Wednesday May 05, 2010

Months of public debate over the future of Canadian copyright law were quietly decided earlier this week, when sources say the Prime Minister's Office reached a verdict over the direction of the next copyright bill. The PMO was forced to make the call after Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore and Industry Minister Tony Clement were unable to reach consensus on the broad framework of a new bill. As I reported last week, Moore has argued for a virtual repeat of Bill C-61, with strong digital locks provisions similar to those found in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and a rejection of a flexible fair dealing approach. Consistent with earlier comments on the need for a forward-looking, flexible approach, Clement argued for changes from C-61.


Pass the word along...
 
Just write the letters. Do you think Harper is scared of Facebook and that popular onion ring?
