This afternoon I took part in a Skype phone conference that was recorded, and is being processed into a downloadable MP3 file (podcast) for your enjoyment (and possibly education). The topic was Bill C-61, the so called Canadian DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), which is much reviled in the blogosphere, on Facebook, and possibly across Canada in the “offline” world as well. The bloggers who took part in the conversation are listed here:
Saskboy (Me!)
UPDATE WITH LINK:Devin will have the podcast posted later on Saturday, so check it out there! I’ll have the link later, but I’m going outside on this beautiful day (and I have a lot of excitement to burn off due to the Green Party MP announcement).

Intellectual property is an odd concept in my eyes. It used to make sense…but then I started thinking about it.

Sorry this is off-topic, but I need your help. You know how annoying it can be when you can’t remember the name of a song or movie? I think my brain may explode if I can’t solve this movie mystery this weekend :) But, the most appropriate place to ask for help - IMDB - won’t validate me so I can post questions there, because I don’t use credit cards or paypal. I need suggestions for other places where I could get help solving the name of this movie:

Thank you again for being on the program and bearing with me through the technical difficulties. I hope to talk you again soon.

Good podcast–I particularly enjoyed your participation.
Despite your participation, and the input of the lawyer, however, it seemed abit much of a circlewank. It would have been *so much better* if there was a CRIA rep or pretty much pick your choice of the conservative bloggers to dismantle.

Roy, It’s not Blazing Saddles, is it?
Devin, I had a good time, and look forward to another chance.
TMG1, it’s just so hard to find someone willing to debate something that is blatantly indefensible ;-) I guess.

Roy responds: “The movie was a made-for-tv called “Evil Roy Slade”.”
