You pretend to understand the technology but you don’t. You want to punish people for pointing out that to circumvent a fence all you do is walk overtop of it or around it.

Why do you support the suppression of information about the weaknesses of approaches? I am an engineer, I need to know of these weaknesses before I choose a solution!

Your blind support of DRM is ignorant and vile. You have demonstrated here that you have no clue about technical ramifications of all this and you’re just asking us to get picked clean by the criminal class.

DRM is something that doesn’t need govt help, it is a technical problem. You already have patents, copyright laws and trade secrets laws you can leverage to protect content and technologies, there is no sense reducing the incentive to innovate by legislating laziness.

It is ironic that Prof. Geist argues that being part of ACTA would “eliminate sovereign choice on domestic copyright policy Canada” while at the same time arguing that Canada is fully compliant with its international obligations — even though it has not implemented the WIPO treaties which it signed over 12 years ago.[xii] It is hard to find any bona fides explanation for how Prof. Geist can argue that negotiating and signing a treaty like the WIPO Copyright Treaty does not oblige a country to implement and ratify it but that signing a trade agreement like ACTA does.

That is easy. Because he knows that people will use arguments like this:

“Canada has signed the WIPO Treaties but has resoundingly failed to implement them. These treaties provide an internationally recognized norm for reducing digital piracy. All of Canada’s major trading partners, including all members of the EU, the United States, Australia, and Japan, have enacted legislation to implement these treaties.”

; to suggest that these signed treaties represent new norms which must be ratified in order for us to be considered good global citizens. He would rather we not be put into this position without reasonable public input FIRST.
