Remember that stupid Digital Millennium Copyright Act that was trying to be passed sometime last year here in Canada? The public outcry put it on the shelf and everyone thought it would go away, but it's back again. One of our beloved Ministers is trying to pass it again.
Being a democratic society and our power over our Gov't, we need to stop this once again!
FULL ARTICLE HERE
So email Mr. (Douchebag) Jim Prentice or your local MP to stop this bullshit. Email links are in the article.
To get a history lesson on the DMCA in Canada just Google the bolded words. |

Can I have the coles notes version? What exactly are we supposed to be mad about and willing to fight for?
Losing our *right* to legally STEAL copyrighted materials?
Am I understanding this correctly? |

Oops thanks!
Here is a few Generic Emails you can copy paste with email links:
To Stephen Harper pm@pm.gc.ca[/email]
SUBJECT: Outcry Against Canadian DMCA
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
As a concerned member of the public, I urge you to take a stand again against the deeply flawed copyright bill which Minister Prentice is introducing over the next little while. As an artist myself, I am deeply disturbed by the events that are occurring in the United States and steadfastly opposed to any replication of the same mistakes in Canada. I urge you to stand up for the rights of Canadians and to vote against this bill.
For further education on this topic, I implore you to look at this article written by Michael Geist entitled, "My Fair Copyright for Canada Principles", in which he states: "...[W]e know that tens of thousands of Canadians oppose a Canadian DMCA, but what kind of reform would or should they support? ... Although the optimal approach would be to launch a public consultation on the issue, there is reason to doubt that the government will do so. In that case, I would point to eight key principles that should be addressed to maintain a balanced, fair approach to Canadian copyright law."

What the fuck is it with you and your retarded comments? Aren't 1/2 of the threads in here from OTHER SITES?!
Sooooo sorry princess, I thought I would share a little educational information with you and the other users. If you don't like then GTFO. I didn't know it would offend you.
How about you say the same thing to other half of the users who do the same thing I do? You think I am the only one?! Seriously what does it fucking matter? Get over yourself.
Ho w about you think before you type! Your statement is fucked and now you look like a douchebag. |

| What happens if I'm not an artist? The first letter is asking me to falsely portray myself to the PM. |
