If that “brave new world” of giving up control (effective ownership) over all electronic communications tools to these cartels scares you as much as it does me, there are many things you can do.

a) Help fight changes in Canadian law via http://digital-copyright.ca

b) Join various consumer boycotts — don’t help fund the members of the MPAA/CMPDA, RIAA/CRIA, or BSA/CAAST who are all working together to create that very frightening world. In ever case there are alternatives that deserve our support, and who are helping us to stop the attack on our rights.
