Well, They've got the power and can afford the attitude, unfortunately. Which is why I'll never be satisfied with anything less than the complete removal of corporations' political power. - Arby Tue, 19 Feb 2013 05:10:12 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51869 Perhaps it's time to start a national conversation about boycotting the goods and services offered the the 13 associations. - Anonymous Coward Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:19:12 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51868 Perhaps it's time to start a nation wide conversation about the benefits of boycotting the goods and services offered by the 13 associations. - Anonymous Coward Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:17:22 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51859 until I saw the bank draft 4 $6921, I did not believe that...my... sister woz like actualey making money in there spare time from their computer.. there great aunt started doing this for only about sixteen months and resently cleard the morgage on their villa and bought a new Smart ForTwo. we looked here, http://www.bit90.com - pamela681 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 11:16:54 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51794 If this passes, then a person (acting as an agent of another country) will lawfully be able to secretly install software onto my computer that is designed to detect activities that are in contravention of another coutries laws (let's say Iran's blasphemy laws for example)?? - Bill Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:52:48 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51712 When did the Canadian Chamber of Commerce become Dr Evil? I ask because the resemblance is startling! I know that there are courses in business schools about Ethics, and but I wasn't aware that the purpose of an Business Ethics course is focused on how to avoid being ethical? - Big Bill Sat, 09 Feb 2013 13:55:55 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51681 Uh, I have been waiting for so long for keyloggers to be made legal. As soon as this is passed I am installing one on every computer in existence... just to make sure they ain't stealing my shit ofcourse! - Seto Kaiba Fri, 08 Feb 2013 23:52:47 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51679 "I already understood that you are more of a factual type from your first post. However, I do not understand your "hatred" for discussing "possibilities"." I, and many people I know and work with have been discussing the "possibilities" for *years*; as you must be aware, Canada's Anti-spam Legislation is not new. For a woman with such strong opinion and solution I will assume you were very active in the dialogue over the years. "The current issue is not about copyright, its about inspecting people traffic due to spam. I would prefer to invest money in educating people how computer security than forcing up monitoring devices on them. They and DRM handcuffs are not viable solutions; getting in touch with reality would be much prefered. Creators can finally take control of their businesses: creation, production, relationships, the whys and the hows" Wonderful, I truly hope they heard you when you brought all that up during any of the meetings, debates and or public inquiry. "[...] for that I can only offer my sincere apology." We'll see in time." How very gracious of you, but it's not that important, really. - Reality_bytes Fri, 08 Feb 2013 22:01:03 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51677 "I live in Quebec, and in the Quebec Charter my privacy is well protected." I live in Qc, too, and for those wondering, its not a reserve. "[...] google [...]" I still do not understand how people do not understand why G, FB, Tw, etc offer these services. Some are being more evil than others but still... "[...] for that I can only offer my sincere apology." We'll see in time. I already understood that you are more of a factual type from your first post. However, I do not understand your "hatred" for discussing "possibilities". Actual laws are what they are because a whole range of possibilities have been stated and we found a middle ground for it. Anyone with enough insight will detect that they are "just" possibilities and, still, error is human. The current issue is not about copyright, its about inspecting people traffic due to spam. I would prefer to invest money in educating people how computer security than forcing up monitoring devices on them. They and DRM handcuffs are not viable solutions; getting in touch with reality would be much prefered. Creators can finally take control of their businesses: creation, production, relationships, the whys and the hows... like Guttenberg did not allow a whole new generation of artist to emerge. - claire Fri, 08 Feb 2013 20:57:29 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51676 "So I ask again (because you never answer): would you allow someone to read your communications through regular mail? I must because it is a public service." Claire, to the best of my knowledge my emails are being read. My activity on my ISP is logged as well. Am I ok with that? Yes and no. I live in Quebec, and in the Quebec Charter my privacy is well protected. So I take some solace in that knowing. "You must have known, you agreed to TOS and privacy policy, you read the contract or you were to busy?" Do you remember when google started advising people of that? I do, and that's when I cancelled my accounts. "Actually, you are being rude _and_ disrepectful simply by ignoring respectful requests for thoughts (although it is your right) but really for insulting people." Agreed, and for that I can only offer my sincere apology. "Advice (take it or not): People are going to assume and judge whether you speak or not. If you want to clear confusion, speak clearly, but you cannot be angry for people assuming." It's not a question of clarity Claire; it's more to do with any opposing view. Myself (like many others) can post facts beyond dispute but because it differs from what some want and need to believe the facts are tossed and mere "possibilities" or "what-if's" become more important. I have no hidden agenda Claire, I don't think of myself as a troll, I'm not a shill, I'm just a guy seeking truth. I have great respect for the arts and a greater respect for those who create it. I am a man who values my privacy, but I am aware that I live within a community. The internet became more than anyone ever thought it would be, the laws and regulations are not up-to-speed and never will be unless an honest and open approach is taken by all parties involved. - Reality_bytes Fri, 08 Feb 2013 20:26:22 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51675 "where did I post (or even imply) that!?" > "[...] once we transmit on a public network it's public." So I ask again (because you never answer): would you allow someone to read your communications through regular mail? I must because it is a public service. "I never gave google my express permission to read my emails, when I was informed they were I cancelled my gmail account(s)." 'https://accounts.google.com/SignUp?continue=http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en&hl=en' You must have known, you agreed to TOS and privacy policy, you read the contract or you were to busy? "[...] not to be rude or disrespectful [...]" Actually, you are being rude _and_ disrepectful simply by ignoring respectful requests for thoughts (although it is your right) but really for insulting people. Advice (take it or not): People are going to assume and judge whether you speak or not. If you want to clear confusion, speak clearly, but you cannot be angry for people assuming. - claire Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:57:51 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51674 kevin there is a sign at the border that says you must be this tall..... maybe you should consider other emigration options - confused Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:51:54 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51673 Wow, you're one of the first Americans that actually spelled Canada right and you're aware it's a country! Good for you Kevin! "where's my self-sufficient space ship?" it may have bottomed out with the Death Star you Americans were petitioning for? - Reality_bytes Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:31:19 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51672 And here I was thinking of canada of a possible emigration option. f this. where's my self-sufficient space ship? - Kevin Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:25:41 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51671 "Maybe Claire lives on one the Indian reserves? I'm just sayin" I guess that was meant to be funny? It isn't. Maybe Claire really is oblivious to the degree we are all monitored in public places? Who knows? - Reality_bytes Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:13:55 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51669 and again! "You were arguing that there is no concern about data sent on the public network being inspected without knowledge nor consent" where did I post (or even imply) that!? ""I never gave google my express permission to read my emails, when I was informed they were I cancelled my gmail account(s)." You really believe that?" oh I don't know Claire, you tell me! As for the rest of your comment Claire, not to be rude or disrespectful, but I have no interest in your personal paranoia. - Reality_bytes Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:01:08 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51668 "WHERE did you read me saying anything close to any of the above?" Nowhere, that is why the first sentence ends with a question mark. You were arguing that there is no concern about data sent on the public network being inspected without knowledge nor consent, hence I propose that roads are a good analogy and that you would not mind neither... I guessed you missed it. I do read some tos just like I read contracts, but there are some places I couldn't care less. If you do you know that ISPs do not store or analyze packet payloads (well they shouldn't), which is what they would do. "I never gave google my express permission to read my emails, when I was informed they were I cancelled my gmail account(s)." You really believe that? Letting these things aside, do you think DPI would stop at spam detection? Do you think it would remain under government control? Do you think whoever is in charge is going to respect your human privacy? The problem is that the wording of the proposed exemptions is imprecise; which is typical when you want something but should not name it. Do you remember Vic Toews pushing DPI last year? - claire Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:52:48 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51667 Maybe Claire lives on one the Indian reserves? I'm just sayin - netty Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:27:43 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6777/125/#comment-51666 "So you would not mind allowing me to setup a camera in front of your house? Not directly at your window, but just at your door. While we are at it, because you use public roads, you would not mind allowing me to install a tracker on your car, or on you in case you walk; because after all, you are in public space and you may drive faster than limits." WHERE did you read me saying anything close to any of the above? AND why the hell do people like you keep doing exactly that? Inserting words into people's posts that aren't there in the first place? It's a rather disturbing way to validate your own argument, and does it ever really work Claire? 1. I took great offense to google outside my bloody window, still do! And am still really pissed that Canada let it fly. 2. You never noticed the CAMERAS on public roads and highways Claire? 3. You never noticed the CAMERAS in every public store and shopping mall either Claire? 4. You never noticed the CAMERAS on every public sidewalk Claire? "Why not take cautions by demanding everyone to be informed of who tracks who and what data it collects, for how long, and for what? You once gave Google permission to inspect what you send to them, would you give Canada (would probably be a private firm doing the job) permission to collect and inspect what you send? For spam?" 1. Read the TOS for every ISP and what's collected and for how long. Because you may have been to busy (or lazy) to read the terms that doesn't mean they didn't inform. 2. I never gave google my express permission to read my emails, when I was informed they were I cancelled my gmail account(s). 3. And yes Claire I am much more comfortable having MY Government involved in it's business than a U.S. corporation; you know, in case. - Reality_bytes Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:06:27 +0100
