Copyright Criminals – C61 Protest Video

Posted on by

Opensourcecinema.org has released their first Bil C-61 protest video.

If you look closely, you can identify me as one of the copyright criminals.

Of course, that’s not the important piece here.

Here’s some stuff to love about the new bill, C-61::

-$500 per downloaded song
-No Fair Use rights for remix culture
-$20,000 for uploading content (youtube anyone?)

Show your protest by uploading a copyright criminal photo! (source)

Protest Bill C-61, stop this betrayal against Canadian citizens before it is too late. See Michael Geist’s most recent post to find out how.

  1. Way to be a movie star… you look like a sad, lost child in the pic haha… which you very well could be if you were fined for every Copyright Crime you committed. I really hope that Bill doesn’t get passed.

  3. Thanks for sharing this Alec. It’s good to get this information out. I believe a lot of young people are unaware of this bill and how big of an effect it may have on the rest of their lives. I know I was totally unaware of this until you brought it up in class.
