They've gone and done it... A Canadian DMCA?

At 11:25 am today, Industry Minister Jim Prentice tabled Bill C-61, the draconian copyright act that would make things worse off here for ordinary Canadians than the DMCA did in the USA for Americans. And the plan is to have its second reading tomorrow.

I just got off the phone from calling the parliamentary office of my member of parliament, Dan McTeague, to register my opposition to the bill. I would advise every Canadian to do the same by finding their MP and contacting him or her regarding the bill. I hope to see protests begin right away and hope to actually participate in them, myself.
