“The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”

This is troubling news, I really hope that the government sees past the lobbyist and realizes that people can make money without ever actually selling the music

YA know the conservatives dont like that part or havent ever read it also with the afgan torture allegations that are ongoing, you now have womens abortions rights and now copyright issues.

NOW all one party has to really do is

A) side with w omens rights
B) be against this copyright bill ( ANGUS blew it with his hanging out with musicians for a month after he formed the acta group then suddenly came out with this levy for lazy musicians )

THIS is why the poll shows a huge drop a NDP voters as the undecided became a larger number …..
C) get us out of afgnaistant totally. WE cant afford it….sorry but thats true. WE need to get this debt under serious control.
D) scrp the HST for food and internet and kids cloths and kids items.
E) give natives a half of the tax off on there cigarettes USE that cash directly to hospitals that are in dire need.
F) turn internet use into a right so NO 3 strikes law can ever affect you, and make mandatory 1.5 megabit free.
Creating a national broadband initiative is healthy it creates infrastructure jobs that actually mean something.
( i see little value in repairing a sidewalk that didn’t need it as an example i saw near me )

G) in creating IT jobs for this new net you also mandate tech support will be for Canadian citizens thus again creating new wealth and jobs.

H)ISPS will be enshrined from liability on there networks and the govts as well. the CRIA will be disbanded and booted out of canada ( 6 billion dollar lawsuit they have no intention ever of paying- guess whose collecting levy money )

I) make it a treasonable offense for any politician or govt official to take any money or gifts form anyone or entity with ties to a foreign land. YOU realize what treason gets you in canada?

J) take back the 75 million that the Quebec provincial leader gave to Warner brothers and tell him that until he punishes his son like he has people in the USA , they can’t do business here.( SON CAUGHT USING BIT TORRENT GETS SLAP ON WRIST)

K) if your an artist and whine even once we’ll deport you to a country where you should feel at home.
THE United States Of America. ( remember that cause our nations laws and rules are less strict we actually have a very vibrant film and tv industry. They actors and musicians don’t realize it but hollywood comes to country gets things rollng gets its laws then move son to another target.
Seen any good tv from Australia after farscape?

L) require all Americans that get internet in canada have a broadcast dpi flag present on there internet so as to identify them as NON citizens when they post or communicate inside canada. YOU might say wtf , but think of 750,000 Americans posting on your boards and screwing results across the land. THIS we would put a foot down on.

M) all other needs of DPI are by warrant ONLY.

think of it people and instead a writing a gay letter get out of your damn house with a tshirt on that says

I WILL NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP HARPER

More people need to keep up with this…A small marketing budget appealing to young adults would be a good idea. Advertising on places like facebook, myspace, youtube and using google adwords, would be extremely beneficial. I don’t see nearly enough replies on here considering this law will see allot of people persecuted. A law that supports the capitalist powers rather then the people. It seems the government has forgotten it’s place as a rep of the people and nothing more, it has forgotten to fear the people. Likewise corporations seems to have forgotten that they are nothing without customers. They insist on penalizing the small folk, their biggest customer base, and I honestly hope it bankrupts them. Remind the government who they represent and refuse to purchase services or products from corporations involved in the acta and the dmca like procedures. It’s ironic how Canada and the USA touted to be the free world as we know it, are the first to see corporate dictatorship under the guise of freedom, liberty and equality. The two very countries called “democracy” have been at the forefront of passing legislation that destroys healthcare, encourages poverty/homelessness, persecutes individuals for minor crimes, produces toxic food, hides technological breakthroughs on fuel, hides and even makes illegal cures for diseases that can’t be patent, and all of this is killing us. If there isn’t money to be made the corporate powers will see to it that it never enters our hands. Would it surprise you to know there are cures for a variety of diseases not available in Canada or the US but available elsewhere? This is no longer about copy write, it has passed that line and that issue is infinitesimal compared to the big picture. The issue at hand is now where our privacy lies, what our rights are, and what we own. You’ve seen how corporations handle these issues, they want access to everything we say or do in any way they can obtain it. Corporations want us to have no rights so they can take as they please and run us like a legion of slaves. And if you have seen TOS (terms of service) agreements now adays…they would like if nothing we have or use is ours but rather everything is theirs and they can do with it as they please. This entire process is happening behind closed doors, in secret meetings, in discreet phone calls, and encrypted faxes, so slowly and using complicated legal jargon, to keep us out of the loop. For years I’ve watched, tv, movies, and played games. All of these devices really do is dub you down, and allot of people have decided they don’t want to read. Since the time of the romans devices have been used to keep people illiterate, because if we can’t read then we can be controlled. I’m no conspiracy theorist, I see the facts and I accept them. I am just a young adult concerned with the lack of concern many Canadians have for this law. This law is a gateway into a dark future and if we don’t do everything in our power to stop it then we will be slowly and discreetly enlisted into a dictatorship under the illusion of democracy. People think we have rights like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press but remember this… We can speak but not against our government, or certain people. We can assemble but not at the g8 or at other such politically significant events. We can publish what we want, but all the media is owned by umbrella corporations with vested interests, ever notice how all the news is depressing, it’s there to keep you mediocre! And remember that many government officials are riddled with greed and corruption. With a little footwork I’m confident you would find many of these government officials with financial ties to the corporations in question, therefore it is also in their best interest to enforce these laws. It’s ironic but most of these people have children, and they are creating a world that is unsafe and unfair. And when the new generation fights our silly war, they will not care to look back at our legacy. But rather they will turn away in disgust at the unethical immorality of the world we have created. Where corporate domination feeds on a illiterate society of pacifistic people. We plug ourselves into movies, games, and tv to mask a reality we don’t like. But how long before that reality comes knocking at your door and takes your kid away, or puts you in a prison? FIGHT for your rights, or you WILL LOSE them!!!
