[Discuss] Copyright deal could toughen rules governing info on iPods, computers (Vancouver Sun)

[Alan W. Irwin]

As seen at http://lwn.net/Articles/284182/, our government seems to be
pursuing a completely secret negotiation process to implement a CAFTA treaty
(NAFTA for copyright) that would lead to a whole new level of arbitrary
police and border guard actions concerning suspected copyright violations
without any due process. See
http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/story.html?id=ae997868-220b-4dae-bf4f-47f6fc96ce5e
for the ugly details.
