Our Lady of Perpetual Hell

Heh-heh-heh, this abridged version of the script by Rod Hilton is way better than the one they used!

‘Had Prentice and Verner respected the Supreme Court’s emphasis on balance and the public interest, they could have easily avoided this one-sided approach. Canada’s earlier copyright bill, which died on the order paper in 2005, along with the approach in countries such as New Zealand, has identified a more balanced framework that preserves user rights by only prohibiting circumvention where the underlying purpose is to infringe copyright. That approach ensures that the law targets commercial piracy rather than consumer property.

Instead, their self-described “made in Canada” solution actually looks an awful lot like the much-criticized U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Once Canadians read the fine print on this bill, many may demand that the government go back to the drawing board.’
