Dear Ministers,

I would like to take this opportunity to convey my concerns and suggestions in regards to Bill C-11, The Copyright Modernization Act.

I believe that policing internet itself would become a violation of our rights to privacy. Without it, how can we claim that our state is democratic? Does it not become dictatorial whatsoever? After all, should our state be policed by Big Brother, we lose what little freedom we possess.

We cannot afford to lose part of our lives (much of it spent on the net) to Big Brother. What is the point of having all of us potentially put in jail or forced to pay ridiculous amounts of money because of copyright infringements? This is not only stupid, but it borders on a dictatorial state.

This is MY country, just as much as the next person. Why then is our personal freedom on the line of fire? Should Bill C-11 pass into action, then I for one will not have a country anymore. I will become a patriot without a country, (figuratively) thrown out from a place I call home.

I cannot bear to think for a moment that the internet provider that OUR household pays would police OUR activities on internet. This is ridiculously insane to believe that we may not even be safe in our own household any longer.



Sincerely,

they be trying to stop muh piracy :(

They're trying to pull that crap with you guys too?

i disagree with your reasoning...

The arguments against these sorts of bills are not because of the effort to stop piracy, but the effect trying to sop piracy would have on other LEGAL freedoms, and the way these laws would allow agencies to go about enforcement.
Its not a right to pirate copyrighted material. That's the point of copyright laws.
Your letter is basically saying that you have the right to pirate material, which you don't. Almost all countries have copyright laws, which have been in place for a LONG time. Nobody is campaigning against these for a reason. They are campaigning against new laws not for there intent, but for the way they can go about it.
