  John McCain has always seemed to revel in the sycophantic adulation he’s enjoyed among the media elite, so it’s kind of fascinating to see McCain’s one-time media fans realize that he’s not the man they thought he was. The first, and probably most notable, was Time’s Joe Klein, who conceded last week that he was [...] ...

Hedy Fry, a Liberal Member of Parliament, recently took part in a round table discussion on Bill C-61. Fry, who represents the riding of Vancouver Centre in the House of Commons, warned Bill C-61 “has many unintended consequences.” As a member of the House of Commons’ Canadian Heritage Committee, Fry was one of the politicians leading the charge to have a copyright bill in the first place. At a meeting of the committee Feb. 14, Fry said: “When you write a play or a song and someone picks it up on an iPod or on whatever and there’s piracy going on and all of those things, that is really harming the creator, the artist.

As reported earlier in ComputerWorld Canada, Fry's Liberal colleague Dan McTeague was also pushing for the legislation (albeit not necessarily in its current form). It will be interesting to see what amendments the Liberals propose to Bill C-61 when it comes up for Second Reading. ...
