   They seem to love quoting Mr. Graham Henderson. Somebody needs to remind them that the CRIA is ironically named, seeing as they have basically no Canadian connections. I’d also like to know exactly why the editorial board of a major newspaper felt the need to meet with copyright lobbyists. What exactly did they talk about? Did they have some requests or concerns about how The Star portrays the copyright battle in their paper?

   Perhaps the Toronto Star should ask whey copyright needs to be strengthened in the first place? Mr. Geist has already pointed out that America copyright law is weaker than Canadian copyright law.

   Newspapers should just describe facts and not opinions. When they express opinions they are “forging” the thinking of their subscribers which is not ethical in a democratic and pluralistic country.

   for the poster at 14:19, at least the piece was listed as an editorial, as opposed to being presented as a “news” item. And they addressed the need for balance, although this was mentioned briefly in the last paragraph, which to me is not particularly balanced in itself.
