61 Problems With Bill C-61

For the last 61 days Dr. Michael Geist, law professor at the University of Ottawa has posted 61 problems with Conservative bill C-61 which pretends to be a copyright bill but is ultimately one of the most draconian laws anywhere in the world. It is a law that is almost impossible not to break - for performers as well as consumers.

So it would give the Government, on their own or at the bequest of large media companies, the ability to jail or fine virtually anyone at virtually any time. Have a look at Geist's full list of problems with the bill at http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/3385/125/
