   @arnebab We tried (and failed) to stop !copyright law that protects #DRM even when used to to block !cc or !publicDomain !Canada

     @laurelrusswurm ouch :( — and yes, I would prefer having everything as GPL today, but reality is slow.

     I can't often say this, but the way the US handles DRM circumvention seems way better than the way Canada handles it.

     @dougsportazine There is documented evidence that our new !copyright law #DRM provisions were dictated by your gov't (thank you !wikileaks )

     which makes it even more asinine that it's worse than our system. Maybe Obama forgot about the Library of Congress...

     @douglasawh Actually, it is a really great US strateg; it puts !Canada at a !copyright disadvantage. We lack your procedure for challenge.

     I'm all for a good conspiracy, but I don't think that's the actual US strategy.

     @arnebab and yes, reality is slow, but it takes time to counter centuries of misinformation
