But I bought it!
More on the Canadian copyright bill.
Its pretty clear that this bill sets up the various industries (Recording, Film, etc) to be able to claim that we don’t own the things we buy. Its the same argument they use in the states: its been said over and over by the RIAA that when you buy a CD, you’re not actually “Buying” it. You’re buying a “license”. This copyright bill plays directly into that, empowering corporations to say the same thing here.
This argument is insulting, and a grab for power the industries just don’t (and shouldn’t) have.
If I buy a CD, I should be able to rip it to my iPod even if there is “copy protection” on the CD. After all, I bought the CD and that means I own it. No matter what the RIAA says.
