View Article  IIPA Slam Canada For Not Fixing Copyright "Deficiencies", CBC to release program via BitTorrent DRM-free
A couple copyright-related stories that warm the cockles of my Canadian heart...

While the inclusion of China and Russia on the "Priority Watch List" isn't surprising, the report also has strong words for a more surprising: Canada.

ESA, IIPA slam Canada for not fixing copyright "deficiencies"

Sources indicate that the CBC is set to become the first major North American broadcaster to freely release one of its programs without DRM using BitTorrent.  This Sunday, CBC will air Canada Next Great Prime Minister.  The following day, it plans to freely release a high-resolution version via peer-to-peer networks without any DRM restrictions.  This development is important not only because it shows that Canada's public broadcaster is increasingly willing to experiment with alternative forms of distribution, but also because it may help crystallize the net neutrality issue in Canada.

Continuing my trend of posting contrarian viewpoints on major Christian holidays, here's a piece on why atheists get angry and frustrated with believers. 

(But I am glad to have a long weekend so thanks for that and the chocolate eggs, Jeebus! )
My web site dedicated to four great Canadian singer-songwriters (but currently only featuring guitar tab for two of them - Fred Eaglesmith and Hawksley Workman.)
