Proposed Canadian Copyright Law presented today
Possibly some scary news for Canadians who may soon face stiff copyright law where some critics are going so far saying that Copyright law could result in police state:
The federal government has introduced a controversial bill it says balances the rights of copyright holders and consumers — but it opens millions of Canadians to huge lawsuits, prompting critics to warn it will create a “police state.”
People caught downloading music or video files illegally could also be sued for a maximum of $500, but uploading a file to a peer-to-peer network or YouTube could result in lawsuits of $20,000 per file.
