This is will not change anything. No one wins. Why not get embrace downloading. Why not team up with the big brand names, and add download credits to common grocery store items. Kind of like airmiles. So what if the price of corn flakes goes up 50 cents a box. This way everyone gets paid, and the digital generation can download from quality media, from quality servers without being policed. If these download credits are on everyting we buy anyway, then why would anyone download "illegally" Different amounts of download credits for different types of media... music, books, movies, programs. Simple solution to me. Over 100,000 boxes of corflakes are sold each month. thats would be $50,000 to the recording industy each month on cornflakes alone. Wow, think of the possibilities.

I am excited... DRM is threatening to destroy the openness of our technology. I can feel the excitement. Can you?

Get Hedy Fry in, as well as representatives from the Conservatives and NDP? Put them face-to-face with the local tech community, and let them talk their spiel. The pols are so out-of-touch, they actually believe that the local tech community wants this (when in fact, they only people they've talked with are foreign media lobbyists).
