This is just yet another screaming indicator of an unfair playing field, with kangaroo courts and paid for politicians. They’ll be passing more laws under the cover of darkness that will further trample the rights and freedoms of honest people, criminalizing them, in the name of outdated economics toward an attempt to gain a monopolistic strangle hold on a “digital economy” they don’t at all understand. The digital era is only an “economy” such that the people are willing! No laws or restrictions will change that.

It’s pathetic to see a bought “think tank” recommended more restrictions than there already is that can’t and don’t and never have worked. When the economy only exists in their mind at the cost of our rights and freedoms, then it’s time for (r)evolution.

I hope this inspires other groups to commission reports, maybe then, with enough independent reports, the **AA can be proven WRONG not just by ‘heretic’ file sharing ‘thieves’ but by actual neutral research, by multiple independent analysts and researchers. Maybe then, Congress will wake up and realize they’ve been lead by the nose.

Wouldn’t this look good for Canada if that were to happen?

“Canada, once hailed Pirate Capital, responsible for copyright reform that makes sense in the digital age. Canada’s newest policies protect consumers, customers, and artists from abuse of power by corporations, while protecting the temporary privileges (formerly known as “rights”) of the creators of content and IP. Now other countries are following suit, including even the US where the whole debacle started.”

Let’s hope this is more than a little flatulence in a windstorm.

No matter what happens to the copyright laws, nobody is going to make us start paying for
file sharing. No one in their right mind would actually PAY for most the crap they download.
We are NOT customers. Most of the artists are lucky we even spent the time to steal their
crappy stuff. If we had to pay, it wouldn’t be heard by anybody.
