File-sharing is worse than murder and child abduction
,----[ Quote ]
| How do the above fines compare to other
| crimes? Gapers Block uses the Illinois
| Criminal code to find that file-sharing is
| worse than arson, child abduction and
| second-degree murder, among others. This
| just shows how ill-conceived laws are
| sometimes, and copyright and patent law
| unfortunately provides too many examples.

Unruly Canadians
,----[ Quote ]
| Notably, in the category of recorded music
| (the realm of active copyright lobbyists)
| both countries show a declining compounded
| annual growth rate. But Canada's decline is
| projected to -1% whereas its American
| counterpart shows -4.7%. Similar
| comparisons to U.K (-3.9%), France (-7.4%),
| and Germany (-1.9%) all place the Canadian
| music scene as more stable. This, despite
| the state of our copyright law.

Question Copyright's "Minute Memes" challenge copyright rhetoric
,----[ Quote ]
| How do you deal with an entrenched content
| industry that tries to pump its twisted
| values down your throat with ludicrously
| illogical emotional appeals? Well, one way
| is to fight fire with fire by making your
| own emotional appeals, and trust to the
| viral amplification of free culture
| distribution to get the message out. This
| is the essence of the âminute memeâ idea
| from Question Copyright, and animator Nina
| Paley has fired the first volley with her
| one-minute animation âCopying Is Not Theft.â

U.S. To Costa Rica: No Sugar Access Without Copyright Reform
,----[ Quote ]
| Reports from Costa Rica indicate that final
| approval of the Central American Free Trade
| Agreement with the United States is
| languishing in the Legislative Assembly due
| to concerns over the copyright provisions.
| The CAFTA copyright provisions are similar
| to those found in the other major U.S.
| trade agreements concluded in recent years:
| DMCA-style protections, ISP liability, and
| copyright term extension are all part of
| the package.
