In all seriousness, the efforts to homogenize legal systems for the benefit of corporate IP are getting pervasive enough that it is frightening as well as obnoxious. |

So all we have to do is carpet-nuke Canada and the 'e-book piracy' problem disappears? You mean all those underhanded Eastern European e-book piracy sites will fold if Canada ceases to exist? Have at it! Yeah. Right. Not! Derek |

Hmmm, looks like we need to go down to R&D. We are going to need more firepower than a CLUEx4 can muster to deal with these companies.

BTW, anyone who has ever shipped merchandise to Canada knows it's a Canadian national sport to try and frustrate Canada Post so extending that to copyright stuff is not a huge stretch of the "imagination"... Soooo, suuurrrre, let's just always BLAME CANADA.... Anyone who doubts this needs to google: Canada aircraft history AVRO arrow You can toss in Aykroyd as well to get the movie, which was really fun btw... Then watch the movie The Arrow (or there has to be a book as well)...so, yup gotta blame them there Canookians...and Red Green of course. |

Ah yes. Our (People's Republic of Kalifourkneeyah) northern cousin, the FPRQ (Francophonic People's Republic of Quebec). Never been there but friends who've visited say that I wouldn't be able to distinguish it from home - well, except for the cold.
