Boing Boing: Save Canada's Internet from WIPO
Wow, this must be the Glorious Leaders' Rant on the Issues Day or something. Cory Doctrow, glorious leader of bOINGbOING has a lengthy and enlightening article on IP, Copyright, and the Web, in the guise of helping Canada stay away from the WIPO Internet Treaties.
From the Article:
The Internet has one overarching feature that makes it superior to the technologies that preceded it: it can copy arbitrary blobs of data from one place to another at virtually no cost, in virutally no time, with virtually no control. This is not a bug. This is what the Internet is supposed to do. [italics his]
