We need more like Charlie to take a stand

Charlie Angus is a member of parliament (NDP Party) for Timmins - James Bay. Mr. Angus wrote an article responding to Industry Minister Jim Prentice's insistence that his Canadian version of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (which so far shows no signs of support from anyone, save the American entertainment mafia errr.... industry) is needed to satisfy Canada's international obligations under the World Intellectual Property Organization's WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996. Mr. Prentice has steadfastly refused public consultation into his bill and those that understand what it represents are watching for its reappearance in Parliament.

Lucky for us, we have people like Mr. Angus to help.
