Hello Rob,
I would like you to consider Michael Geists recomendations when debating Bill C-11. Please take great care when debating this issue and realize that the decisions you are making on this issue will have great impact on not only our current situation with music books and movies but will play a critical role in the near future with the impact of 3D printing on our society. Please consider this paper to understand the possible future impacts of Bill C-11.
1. No SOPA-style amendments. That means no website blocking, no warrantless disclosure of subscriber information, no expanded enabler provision, no unlimited statutory damages, no iPod tax, and no content takedowns.
2. Maintain the fair dealing balance found in C-11 by expanding the provision to include education, parody, and satire and relying on the Supreme Court's six-factor test to ensure that the dealing is fair.
3. Amend the digital lock rules by following the Canadian Library Association's recommended change linking circumvention to actual copyright infringement.
Please set our country up to take advantage of new business models and not just protect old dying business models.
Thank You

P.S. I'm sure you will find a chance to respond to this one. Surely you are at least opening these emails I send.
