Unravelling the Canadian Copyright Policy Laundering Strategy
,----[ Quote ]
| The Conference Board of Canada plagiarism and undue influence story - which
| with the Board's report and overdue apology to Curtis Cook will now go on
| hiatus until new reports are issued in the fall - has obviously attracted
| considerable interest. Looking back, while plagiarism is rare, it is the
| public airing of the copyright lobby policy laundering effort that is the far
| more important development.

"The copyright lobby's propaganda machine exposed: it creates and funds
multiple organizations that cite exaggerated claims from each others' reports.
"Exaggerated claims are one part of their system. Propaganda terms, such as
calling copying "piracy" and "counterfeiting", and calling
copyright "intellectual property", are another part. To repeat those terms
without denouncing them as invalid gives the copyright lobby support."

Moby: The RIAA Needs to be Disbanded
,----[ Quote ]
| The two million dollar fine handed out to Jammie Thomas by a Minnesota jury
| this week hasn’t done the music industry’s image much good. While lawyers and
| high level managers at the major labels cracked open the Champagne, artists
| such as Moby and Radiohead shook their heads in shame at what the music world
| has become.
