An anonymous reader writes “CTV reports on how Canadians are [0]fighting
back against the Canadian DMCA. Led by Michael Geist, the [1]Fair
Copyright for Canada Facebook group is nearing 90,000 members. There are
local chapters, a [2]YouTube contest, wikis, and people writing letters
and organizing rallies against the copyright bill. Geist said, ‘When you
get tens of thousands of Canadians speaking out like this, there’s big
political risk for any political party who chooses to ignore it.’”
