»Canadian DMCA On Hold

It looks as though the Canadian government listens to its people. <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/12/10/tech-copyright.html">They have halted the introduction of this stupid bill for the time being</a>. They received so many complaints about it.

Quote

Cory Doctorow, co-editor of influential technology blog Boing Boing and a former director of the Electronic Freedom Foundation advocacy, on Monday wrote that the government's plan is now in disarray. "Word is that the minister had no idea that this would be such a big deal for Canadians," he wrote. "Word is that the minister and his advisers are scrambling, rethinking the entire matter because of the public outcry."

Word is that America should take note of Canada. The government listens to their people instead of the large companies.
