..."It's them vs. Canada, simply put."<br /><br />Very well said, and the Conservatives kind of put themselves in a corner here with the Canadian public, which is what at the end of the day matters.<br /><br />If we don't have what the majority of Canadians are calling for here in copyright reform, expect our politicians to be slapped down pretty hard on this.<br /><br />I'm still very weary on Clements handling of anything. He destroyed our Health Care system in Ontario. To be honest I extremely disappointed when he became Minister of Industry at a time of economic turmoil. Everything he seems to touch seems to rot, I hope him and Moore get this right. I don't think they have much of a choice with respect to the voting Canadian Public. Industry will have to adapt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20803105.post-27898820382164126082009-08-05T14:31:14.573-04:002009-08-05T14:31:14.573-04:00The problem with being objectively about the situa...The problem with being objectively about the situation with them is these people are far more arrogant and narrow-minded to see the big picture of the copyright consultations. They're better off claiming they're "full of themselves" and not care about the general public.

Copyright lawyers and their firms.<br /><br />I see things differently. Update copyright laws so they are effective, and relevant to what had taken place with respect to the "Creative Destruction" process the IP industries are in.<br /><br />Copyright law will either be relevant or it won't be. Enacting the points described in Mr. Todds article would only serve to distance those who are currently failing, while strengthening those that are newly born and succeeding.<br /><br />What the IP industry needs is to make money off of file/media sharing rather than attempting to stop it. Stopping it won't work. Monetize the networks. Once we do this, everyone else will jump on board and tell the US to shut up and do it too.<br /><br />Let's look at the situation objectively rather than politically to solve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
