Deb - Thanks for the links. I see that Russell McOrmond has made a blog entry entitled "Why am I opposed to the upcoming Copyright bill even before I have seen it?" at http://www.digital-copyright.ca/node/4386

I don't have my hopes up, but given the known international treaties being addressed in this bill, sounding the alarm bells make sense.

Daylmer - thanks for the links - much appreciated.
This bill touches many issues that are important to us, but without seeing what is really being proposed I don't understand the intensity of the current campaign. Many people who care about the general topic of copyright/drm/fair use/etc are already educated about the various issues, but there is nothing specific to fight against until the bill is tabled - so why the pre-bill drumbeat ?
If the bill sucks (which is expected) THEN we can get frothy at the mouth :)

I understand that this bill has the potential to impact us very negatively, but there have been no links nor mention of any sources for information on the soon-to-be proposed bill. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could substantiate these claims by stating that they've seen the bill in some form or (if possible) perhaps put it on a p2p network ?
