The Conservatives are coming! The Conservatives are coming!
I guess Jim Prentice is looking to lose his seat next election, or at the very least his Ministry. Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing, Michael Geist, myself, and many, many others are going to take his political career down if he empowers the MAFIAA and their army of litigious lawyers.

Also worth noting, is that CIRA (not the MAFIAA tied CRIA) has changed its WHOIS policy, and allows copyright holders to get your personal .ca domain registration information just by CLAIMING that they want to sue/contact you. Sick!

What will it take to ensure that politicians stop selling us out to the MAFIAA? What will it take for governments to stop protecting obsolete business models?

Since a lot of people use obsolete business models, it’s not surprising really that the government tries to protect them. We do need to find a way to convince people to move to modern business models though, and not enshrine obsolescence in the law.
