Pirate Party Coming To Canada

An anonymous reader writes
"After scoring a surprise electoral win in Sweden and getting high-profile support in Germany, The Pirate Party is coming to Canada. The party's goals are fairly simple. People should have the right to share and copy music, movies and virtually any material, as long as it is for personal use, not for profit. It opposes government and corporate monitoring of Internet activities, unless as part of a criminal investigation. It also wants to phase out patents."
(Related) “Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive” You know there will be a reaction, you know it probably will not be organized and the odds of it changing the laws are similar to winning the lottery five times in a row...
Study Deconstructs Canadian Copyright Lobby Deception
Posted by Soulskill on Saturday July 04, @02:19PM from the anatomy-of-a-slow-con dept. internet
An anonymous reader writes
"A new Canadian study deconstructs how copyright lobby groups manipulate public opinion by laundering proposals through seemingly independent groups. The study started after the Conference Board of Canada was shown to have plagiarized several of its IP reports and now shows the connections that all lead through the MPAA and RIAA. Michael Geist writes, 'It is not just that these reports all receive financial support from the same organizations and say largely the same thing. It is also that the reports each build on one another, creating the false impression of growing momentum and consensus on the state of Canadian law and the need for specific reforms.'"
Everyone look up!

RobGoldsmith writes with this snippet from Space Fellowship:
"If you've never seen a spaceship with your own eyes, now's your chance. The International Space Station (ISS) is about to make a remarkable series of flybys over the United States. Beginning this 4th of July weekend, the station will appear once, twice, and sometimes three times a day for many days in a row. No matter where you live, you should have at least a few opportunities to see the biggest spaceship ever built."
