Copyright Lobbyist "Disgusted" By Canadian Politicians

Actually read the thread from the source, at first I had also thought it was an actual American, but it turns out it was a Canadian. They have a National organization here by the same name, and even manned by the same retards... it really is a quantum physics mystery!
Btw, the guy actually appears on the thread itself to defend his position. Some rather sharp posters there (along with the usual random injection of ignorance).

Why are Americans so interested in our politics, anyway? Are they... afraid of us?
Why are the NDP even responding to the inane ramblings of American lobbyists anyway?
To quote George Carlin,
"Somebody's wasting their fuckin' time. Could it be... everyone?"
It is unfortunate that we have so many left-wing parties and so few right-wing parties. The left vote is always split, and the right (conservative) wing is more united. That's what leads to crap like this minority gov't we've been stuck in.
But that's a discussion for another time.
EDIT: After a quick wiki session to make sure I fully understood Bill C-61, I have decided that I am against it.

Haha! How astute. Oh, separatists... when will you learn?rated pg said:

I'm actually Canadian and I have no idea what the hell everyone is yelling about.
Let's all chill. I even volunteer to make pancakes with generous helpings of maple syrup.

well unless you own all the copyrights to pancakes and maple syrup (respectively) you will be fined $20,000 for unlawful distribution per offence. We are your government. Vive l'AlbertaAvernus said:
As Amnestic pointed out, I wasn't supposing that you would see C-61 and think DRM. Rather, it was that key line which called attention to the DMCA (which probably shouldn't have been an acronym, but rather the Act's full name). I'm from the US, too, so I too never heard of C-61 before today, but if a critic challenges it's authority on the basis that it's a mirror of DMCA, I'm against it. I also associate this less with DRMs, which I think are just sort of a stop-gap solution in an attempt to stymie the response by pirates to the ridiculousness of the DMCA, and more associate it with the copyright infringement attack lawyers and trials that crop up, which as MP points out, turns average citizens into criminals.hansari said:

meh, NDP did this just so they could get their name in the paper. Crazy americans running the conferance played right into their hands. It was as much a political stunt as anything else.
Though copy right law in Canada has been bouncing around alot.
also they're bringing back the party and their calling it the neo-rhino party of canada
One of their long standing goals is to create of an army of clowns to travel the world promoting peace and laughter.
is an example that it worked. It was also a way to 'stick it' to the americans.

It has alot more to do with video games than you think. If this law is passed and such restrictions are passed on music, what is to stop these cray copyright lobbyists from doing the same or worse to video games? There is enough DRM and anti piracy stuff on games as it is. As gamers, I think we want it to be taken off, not to be encouraged.hansari said:
