Email to Costas Menegakis, Member of Parliament, Richmond Hill
Dear Costas, Thanks for replying to my email. You seem to have missed the points I was trying to make, so I’m going to lay them out carefully. This will be a long email.

Greetings and salutations! On September 1, 2011 I had the great pleasure of publishing the first two volumes of my Copyright Wars series. They are up on both Amazon and Smashwords, and should be available on the Kobo, IBook, Diesel, … Continue reading
I’m Going To Forecast The Death Of The American Recording And Video Industries
Yep. Time to stick my neck out again. By my calculations 2+2=15, and I want to tell you about it. First off, this has nothing to do with file sharing, nothing at all. And it has nothing to do with … Continue reading
The TPM Provisions in Bill C-32 Are Not In Compliance With The WIPO Internet Treaties
Oh dear, here we go again. Unlike most of the rest of the people commenting on Bill C-32 I’ve actually read the WIPO Internet Treaties. Heck, I’ve even quoted them often enough. You can read the specific treaty in question … Continue reading
Why Is Michael Geist In Favour Of Digital Rights Management/Technical Protection Measures?
The Apple IPad. The Amazon Kindle. The Microsoft XBox360. The Nintendo Wii. The Sony PS3. Blue Ray Players. All of these default to ‘DRM ON’ even if the author doesn’t want it. All of them push DRM at authors. None of them give the choice that the WIPO Treaty was supposed to provide. None of them are legal under the plain language of the treaty. Continue reading
James Gannon Presentation – Copyright Viewed By A Lawyer – Correct Legally But Wrong – Part 3

Doctor Ficsor is wrong again
Oh dear – here we go again. Doctor Ficsor, you are quickly gaining a reputation for inaccuracy. I was originally going to refute you point by point, but that would have resulted in another long document, and as you stated, … Continue reading

Dr. Ficsor is right; Prof. Geist is wrong about the WIPO Internet Treaties Earlier this week, Dr. Ficsor posted a blog inviting Canada to join the international community by ratifying the WIPO Internet Treaties. Dr. Ficsor is an internationally revered … Continue reading

An invitation to Doctor Ficsor to explain the value to the citizens of Canada in ratifying the WIPO Internet Treaties
I’m a Canadian. Dr. Ficsor’s ‘An invitation to Canada to join the international community by ratifying the WIPO Internet Treaties‘ is one of the more insulting, and incorrect documents that I’ve perused over the years. So many errors, where oh … Continue reading
