I'm so there with you. I wrote to my MP about Bill C-61, but it's pretty obvious that the Canadian governement wasn't listening to the Canadian people (or hell, even the Canadian creators whom copyright is supposed to protect) when they made their changes.

When I was googling this info yesterday, I came across a CBC Blog basically saying "Don't worry, your info isn't going to be abused by Viacom" to which my fist thought was "yeah right" but I left a comment saying that's not the point, it's the fact that American seems to be the country setting copyright laws that other countries adapt (as shown by the recent changes to Canadian copyright law) and they're doing a really bad job of it. Among other reasons.

I wish there was more we, as a people and not big corporations, could do.
