On the day the bill C-61 was introduced, readers crashed this blog because so many wanted live updates about the bill.
Tough Sell
Congratulations Micheal and friends. This is good to see. I started reading this blog when I became aware of DRM and it’s dangers via Star-force and Cory Doctorow. I was a victim as well. Bill C-60 (Liberals) was a another point of interest leading me here.
Future generations will grow up being even more savvy and cunning then us. By their own doing, things like DMCA, DRM, and corporate greed will make for generations of hard-nosed, well informed, students of law consumers. Thanks to blogs like this, it will be very tough times for future media corporations to sell anything without intense scrutiny. However, they deserve it; lying in cesspools of deceit and lies.
