Last week I sent a letter to my MPP titled: Federal Bill C-32
tramples areas of provincial jurisdiction
http://Fix.BillC32.ca/5156
While I would like to see all Canadians sending similar letters to
their provincial representatives, I believe this is especially important
in Quebec. If we can reach the National Assembly of Quebec, and
hopefully through them the Bloc, to understand this issue then the most
harmful aspects of C-32 will be fixed.
There is a critical difference between technical measures being used
by copyright holders, and being used to protect copyright. Access
control or similar technical measures have no more valid reason to be in
the federal Copyright act as energy policy, even if many copyright
holders rely on electricity for their business models.
Thank you, and hope people will get involved and help others to
understand this issue.
