  1. The probably think that the policy wonk for copyright can actually argue Bill C61 effectively. How wrong they are; no one is capable of providing an “effective” argument for Bill C-61 in its present form.

  2. Still waiting for Prentice to respond
    Perhaps that explains why I’m still waiting for a response to my June 14th email on the proposed copyright legislation.

  3. Policy? We don’t need no stinking polic
    Whoever the Conservatives are listening to, it’s clearly not Canadians. I don’t know how they figure a Conservative policy hack will be able to defend legislation that got dictated from Washington DC.
