Ask Canadian Industry Minister questions about the DMCA at the Calgary Stampede this Saturday

I think "The market will solve it" will end up being an eerily predictive idiot savant comment.

As far as Mr. Prentice goes, we are the market and we will solve it by unrelentingly hanging this around your neck and politically asphyxiating you (think "gun registry" disaster or at the very least "beer and popcorn") until such time as we get the opportunity to solve you with our vote.

As for as the industry goes, regardless of this outcome, a can of consumer worms has been opened. I think we have yet to see how we as the market will solve this by punishing those that don't listen and reward those that do. Perhaps offering DRM-free content will become as much of a business survival tactical no-brainer as having an online presence.

In his short-sightedness, McVety he doesn't realize he is negatively impacting film-makers with a Christian world view wanting to tell stories that draw from their faith. With all the sex and violence in film, I've never found anything as offensive as the bible or the cross of christ. Pretty sure anything I make in that regard wouldn't make the cut with this new legislation. I'm praying it doesn't go through.

No friends yet.
