images/news/breakingnews.jpgJune 4, 2008 new laws will be passed by the Canadian government which will effectively OUTLAW the use of modchips and flash carts, among other things.
This new copyright reform in the form of the Canadian DMCA has been influenced by US lobby groups rather than the voice of the Canadian people. What you are faced with is legislation that is potentially even more extreme than that of the US DMCA which is what allows the RIAA, MPAA, etc to function in the United States as they do.
This would be a blow not only to Canada, civil rights, and copyright law, but also your rights. Your digital way of life would effectively make a big change. Also being proposed is a minimum $500 fine per incident. While copyright reform is an important issue, this is not the way to go about it.
As such the Canadian Coalition for Electronic Rights has created a simple pre-written letter sending service that will allow for you to be heard. It would be in the best interest if Canadians to use this service to send a letter to Prime Minister, Stephen Harper; Jim Prentice, Minister of Industry; and Josée Verner, Minister of Canadian Heritage today.
