Guess what? Nis discuss something serious!

If we are honest, Jerkpop is anything but serious. Today however, things will take a little change. Mainly because I feel like writing something random today and through my email box is afterdawn’s newsletter. What caught my eye only really matters to Canadians, and here’s the original article.

Basically, to sum it up in one big sentence. The Canadian government are now holding secret talks with various lobby groups who will be benefiting from tougher copyright laws and shutting out all media as well as lobby groups that tends to get in the way but have a valid point. (Aka: Telecommunications, Privacy, etc.)

Canada, I thought, was a free and rather laid back country. Though, looking at this, maybe not so much. If readers out there don’t really understand what the problem with these kind of secret talks are, here’s the break down of why this is a bad topic to discuss in secret. First of all, these talks will almost certainly step over the bounds of simple copyright as it will also touch on snooping on all incoming and outgoing traffics of your internet. Also, there’s also the whole shabam about companies bugging your bluray player or what not just to see what movies you are watching. Basically, in a couple tens of years, Metal Gear Solid will happen. For those of you that don’t play the game, it means we are all going to be screwed over because a elite group will control many aspects of our life in the shadows.

Will Snake be there to save us when this happens?
