Bill C-11, Canada's SOPA

[Tony]

"Herp, derp... we're in Canada, so we don't have to worry about U.S. laws."

Okay guys, it's time to talk about Bill C-11. http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6257/125/

While we were all certainly watching SOPA unfold closely, it's doubtful that Wikipedia will black itself out for a Canadian law, even if the bill is likely pushed by the same lobby groups as that in U.S.

Quote:

For example, the [music industry] wants language to similar to that found in SOPA on blocking access to websites, demanding new provisions that would "permit a court to make an order blocking a pirate site such as The Pirate Bay to protect the Canadian marketplace from foreign pirate sites."

Quote:

The music industry also wants Internet providers to be required to adopt a termination policy for subscribers that are alleged to be repeat infringers.

So in addition of illegalizing all of the DRM breaking stuff from Bill C-32, C-11 also talks about getting ISPs to block websites and disconnect users. It's unclear if there will be any due process for either action.
