U.S. Senators Pressure on Canadian DMCA
Found on Slashdot on Monday, 05 March 2007
The U.S. copyright lobby brought out some heavy artillery last week as it continued to pressure Canada to introduce a Canadian DMCA. U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins gave a public talk in which he described Canadian copyright law as the weakest in the G7, while Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Cornyn wrote to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to urge him to bring in movie piracy legislation.
The DMCA obviously failed in the US, and still they try to force it onto others instead of coming up with new ideas.
