O Canada! The Canadian DMCA version of the national anthem


Today on the nerdy comic-strip User Friendly -- a new version of the Canadian national anthem, in honour of the terrible proposal for a Canadian version of the US DMCA, a copyright law that has led to 20,000 lawsuits against music fans, terrible damage to innovation and free speech, all without paying artists or preventing infringement. Link (Thanks, Bruce!)

Great. I'd managed to completely flush the unfunny horror that is UserFriendly out of my brain. Now I'm aware of it again. Thanks.
