Canada’s DMCA Minister Thinks Copyright is a Joke

Jim Prentice isn’t getting the message it appears. He still doesn’t understand that “industrial consumers” are not his constituents, and thus should not determine the outcome of Copyright legislation.


- It’s hard to say what the low-light of this exchange is. I’d vote for when Prentice mocks the NDP MP for knowing about WIPO and the DMCA. It’s undeniable that Industry Canada is basing their copyright bill on WIPO, yet Prentice continues to lie and imply that a debate is irrelevant. Yes, it is a lie, because what he’s telling us certainly isn’t the truth. Why else would he be stalling and using lame jokes instead of answering the question?!
