Update on Canadian Copyfight.
The Gov't of Canada has released its plans for Copyright Reform - basically they have refuted the DMCA, which is a good thing, and while there is still some odious law in the proposal, the reforms are better than what governments like the US have levied on their consumers and file-sharers. Most notable is more respect given to Internet service providers. UofOttawa law professor Michael Geist has a good summary here. The Government's Statement and FAQ. Cory Doctorow, over at boingboing, has a good post on the subject and includes some background. Cory submitted comments during the public review process.
Meanwhile, the RIAA has released a report stating that sales are up for once, but they're still saying that P2P is destroying record sales. I bet it's helping them more than they know.
