MP 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.
