Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing posted about Matt Mason’s Pirate’s Dilemma, a book about our current culture of piracy. Seems the book is being turned into a series with the help of Jesse Alexander (”Heroes” and “Lost”) and here’s the trailer:

As posted by Cory Doctorow over on BoingBoing the folks at Open Source Cinema have put their latest PSA against Bill C-61, the Canadian DMCA, which is given freely for distribution and you can even re-edit it and add your own shit and what ever else you want to do.

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
It’s a special Bill C-61 Round-Up Day!
Round-Up Day? Yes! The last day of the week where we collect the best or most interesting posts you might have missed from previous days. I’ve been remiss in keeping these pages up to date and for that I […]

Head on over to Michael Geist’s blog and have a read on how the U.S. media lobby and political pressure from Washington was exerted on the compliant Harper government to create Bill C-61 - Canada’s own DMCA.

Michael Geist reports on this and you can find the leaked document in […]

Cory Doctorow over at the ubiquitous BoingBoing leads the way to a Michael Geist post where we find 10 Questions For Industry Minister Prentice.
These are great and pointed questions crafted by Professor Geist that poke massive holes in the lie of copyright reform the Harper government is trying to quickly and slickly pass into Canadian […]

Industry Minister Jim “Chickenshit” Prentice is set to re-introduce the Canadian DMCA bill which caused such a deserved fuss the last time he proferred that turd before parliament.
