Always worth a read of articles like this to give you the low down on the low tricks  :)

There are rumours circulating that a Canadian copyright reform bill is likely going to land sometime in the immediate future. 680 news is reporting that, while the bill was technically ready, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Heritage were conflicted over the final wording of the bill. Slyck looks at the differences between what is happening with this copyright reform bill and the previous reform bill under the previous government.

The previous copyright reform bill (dubbed 'Bill C-60') drew heavy criticism from various advocates for consumer rights. Some have labelled it as an 'omnibus of bad ideas'. It quickly drew some negative attention. People such as Online Rights Canada and Russell McOrmond were running petitions for what they consider a more balanced approach to the issue. Certainly, many signed the petitions during Bill C-60's time in existence

At the end of the day, there is a much bigger awareness over copyright issues compared to Bill C-60 back in 2005. Consequently, when copyright reform is tabled, more people are likely going to find out about what is going on. As such, if the proposed legislation does not serve as many sides as possible, there's a very good chance that there will be more vocal opposition. If copyright reform is tabled very soon, it'll certainly create a lot of buzz in the internet community as a whole.

Whilst it would be unfair to all parties for the situation to go heavily one way or the other the point reflected in this article is that making more folks aware of their rights and responsibilities is the way forward, something I think is often lost in the pro or anti hype.
