Stupid Restrictive Copyright Legislation
Here's a great article about some of the ramifications of strict copyright law.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that there's no exemption for parody works in Canada. That's totally stupid.
I also think it's completely irresponsible for legislators to be so cozy with one half of the equation (the recording industry and film industry, etc) and not the other half (the artists). I predict that if the current path is followed through to legislation we will end up with completely un-enforceable copyright law. (by the way, this is how I see the current laws in the US)
