You mean the total compliance with international law that Canada has followed since since it's beginning? Quite right. Artists actually have to work for their living in Canada. Oh, wait, we are the only North American country where 100 CDs costs more than 100 DVDs because of the tax collected and paid to media companies for the work of their artists. So they don't have to work for a living, because they get paid everytime I backup my personal photo collection to CD.

I can't help taste the irony that this article published in 1897 is still protected by copyright for another 12 years.

No doubt. Giving corporations the right to keep copyright for 120 years is ludicrous. Like I said in another thread, there's already talk about them demanding to keep copyright FOREVER, because as you know, corporations don't die (unlike people).

The USA can preach about copyright all they want, but we have no obligation to follow THEIR laws. It was bad enough when Mulroney caved into the drug companies over patents (extending them to 20 years from 14).

What's next? Making our drug laws mesh with theirs?
