The Canadian Copywrite hysteria of the moment.

Sooo are you part of the hysteria, or are you aware of the actual process of getting legislation passed?

It seems every forum (accept this one it seems) that I have been on today is awash in some legislation the Canadian government is trying to sneak in on us.

Don't tell me you can't find the article either, no one is that dumb

Ahh so you already know what the bullshit feels like then

It sure will suck going back to 1970. But I at least know how.

This legislation sure will screw with a lot of the younguns though.

Worst case scenario I lose any reason to continue paying for expensive broadband internet and my son can figure out how to play World of Warcraft on his own

If I don't "need" broadband, I sure ain't paying for it. No broadband just means I take a lot more money to Anime North. No 30 bucks a month, no newshosting service, that basically comes out to 720 bucks. I can buy quite a lot of anime dvd sets with that

It would suck having to figure out how to get my tv shows though.

Normally I don't like being ambushed with videos that involve swearing, but in this case I think it's actually appropriate
