Canadian tax software and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, it's tax time again!
|
| This used to be the part of the year I would
| dread. Not because I feared how much income
| tax I would need to pay, but because I knew I
| would have to get Windows running in a VM or
| on a spare computer in order to use tax
| preparation software.
|
| I would get heartburn from wondering if the
| new flavour-of-the-day copy-protection
| mechanism the software used would actually
| work in a VM, and if it would let me open up
| my files again after reinstalling it if
| something went wrong. Top that off with the
| fact that trusting your important data to
| Windows is like locking your safe with duct
| tape, and I'd be popping Rolaids like candy.

Canadian copyright collecting agency subverting open debate on copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| Access Copyright, the Canadian author's collecting society (a group that
| collects money from libraries for book lending and gives it to authors) is
| using its members' money to sabotage an enormously popular consultation on
| the future of Canadian copyright.
|
| [...]
|
| As a Canadian author, Access Copyright is supposed to represent my interests
| in the Canadian copyright debate. Instead, they are setting out to undermine
| the first glimmer of sanity in Canadian copyright policy in three
| governments -- and using my money to do it. For shame.
