It's so frustrating trying to talk with someone making important decisions about things they really don't fully comprehend.
You quickly feel out the bounds of their knowledge and figure out that they're just repeating the key marketing points.
How can people walk around not giving a fuck about how things actually work? I really just can't comprehend that lack of thirst for knowledge.
- RyanMcGreal 16y agoMP James Moore understands the issue just fine. His government's SOP is to repeat self-serving lies ad nauseam until they become true through sheer attrition. The government conducted a year of extensive, detailed consultation after the public overwhelmingly rejected their earlier attempt to impose a DCMA-style copyright law in Canada. After the consultation was over, the Cabinet couldn't reconcile the clear message from the public that Canadians want a balanced copyright law that reflects our rights as creators, consumers and citizens with the clear message from the corporate content industry that they want law-enforced anticircumvention. Not surprisingly to anyone, the government broke the stalemate by ramming through the industry demand and dismissing all the public consultation. Moore is just the government's hatchet man.
