Liberal Response to Bill C-61 ( The Canadian DMCA)
A friend of mine from high school, Trevor Orsztynowicz wrote to his MP in Vancouver regarding bill C-61. She send back an excellent reply that show that she understands the issues completely:
This Bill does not serve either consumer or creator well. It prescribes narrow, punitive solutions to a complex problem. In fact the Bill could well have the effect of curbing the use of digital technology, to the extent that it becomes useless. This would be a pity! As well implementation of the measures in the Bill would be nearly impossible, unless one abandons all privacy rights or imposes locks on the digital technology that severely limits its application. How to monetize digital technology to reward the creator and allow free and open use by the consumer is challenging
