Erm, I’m not the one who’s made statements with respect to windows updates etc. What I’ve stated will happen with respect to the application of this bill is limited to the restrictions references in the post itself.

I’m glad you’re not worried. I am. So are a lot of other, very smart people. I choose to give more credence to their concerns and my own than the propagandistic whining of an anonymous poster. Just sayin’

So nothing? You can’t comment back and give me a description of when and how all of this is going to happen. The uploading music to your computer is going to land me in jail, how? Please tell me. Why is Microsoft and Apple one day going to corrupt my files. Nothing anything said here makes any sense. I just need you to tell me how it’s going to happen, not what they’re going to take from us but how they’re going take it from us and why. So far I get the feeling you don’t have an answer to anything, just crazy ideas.
In case you’re wondering who this is, I’m the person who posted earlier about the same issue.
Thanks and I hope you get back to me.

I mentioned a lobbyist for Music Canada aka the Canadian Recording Industry Association named Barry Sookman, who sometimes has op-ed pieces in the major newspapers. Well, he's done it again. Here's an article in the National Post about Bill C-11. Note that the article doesn't mention that he is a lobbyist for Music Canada, it just makes him out as a "concerned citizen." Where I come from that's called lying. Wayne

If Bill C-11 passes as it stands and becomes law, you will wake up to discover that sometime during the night while you were sleeping and your modem was on, Windows 7 performed an autoupdate and now none of your cd’s or dvd’s can be read by your operating system.

Oh look – iTunes autoupdated too and now your playlists are corrupted. And OH NO adobe autoupdated too and that great ebook you downloaded is sealed tight.

OMG firefox autoupdated as well and now I can’t access youtube and if I use a proxy my ISP is gonna keep me on file and give my info to anybody who asks for it without a court order….

Extremism? Maybe. But while I wait for the sky to fall I’m going to write a few letters to my mp and finally print off that copy of “1984″ I downloaded a few years back.

Im a born Canadian and I cant believe noone has shot harper yet. he is absolute radical maniac. all we want is to keep our free and open media and communication and for him to invest in industries that put well educated canadians to good use, not to extract bitumen from the god forsaken tar sands (that shit aint oil) and sell our beautiful forests for lumber. were better than that, really. instead hes gunna let our seniors work a little longer, cut all are arts funding. acually he even pulled funding for an art exibition by franke james because it spoke out against the tar sands! fuck that fucking guy! who wants mandatory minimum sentences for non violent lawbreakers and build prisons to hold em on the tax payers dollar and then hand the “business” over to private interests. who want us to allow MORE genetically modified foods on our shelves and no we dont get the privilege of knowing which have the GMO ingredients. who allows mutant frankenfish in are water that are killing off the native species and carry disease. who want to cut funding for the CBC!!!!!! the CBC god dammit! the only thing that is good in true here in Canada, and the one thing that unites us and gives canadians a voice, and he wants to scrap it, says other companies cant compete.. fuck that fucking guy!
