URGENT MESSAGE TO CANADIANS
Our way of life is in danger!
Digg this!My fellow Canadians, a matter of the greatest importance has come to our attention. TOMORROW new laws will be passed by the Canadian government which will effectively OUTLAW the use of modchips and flash carts, among other things.

This new copyright reform in the form of the Canadian DMCA has been influenced by US lobby groups rather than the voice of the Canadian people. What we're faced with is legislation that is potentially even more extreme than that of the US DMCA which is what allows the RIAA, MPAA, etc to function in the United States as they do.

This would be a blow not only to Canada, civil rights, and copyright law, but also YOUR rights, this fine community, and all of the businesses that make their living by selling said products. Our digital way of life would effectively come to a stop. They're even going as far as proposing a minimum $500 fine per incident. While copyright reform is an important issue, this is not the way to go about it.

In response to this backdoor policy-making a growing movement and coalition has been actively pursuing making the Canadian voice heard in this legislative process. All is NOT lost; they previously attempted to impose similar legislation back in December but this very movement's response stopped them in their tracks. We MUST speak up! We MUST make ourselves heard before it's too late!

As such the Canadian Coalition for Electronic Rights has created a simple pre-written letter sending service that will allow for us to be heard. I implore any and all Canadians to use this service to send a letter to Prime Minister, Stephen Harper; Jim Prentice, Minister of Industry; and Jos

And...how exactly are they going to stop anyone from using them?

lol? -_-

bull =p

Lol

what are mod chips and flash carts?

Things that let's your console play copied games.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Fuck this, netherlands, here i come :]

America is right over the border, if you don't look like a terrorist. Then, find a motel and mod there.

..way of life? More like way of usage.

Flash cards are used for more then just pirating. (Arrr!) They are used for homebrew/development too. This would be a major disappointment to developers.

Well if they wanna stop you from playing copied games - that is somewhat a step taken to avoid piracy. SO there's not much you people can really do over buying games I guess.

wow canada is getting fucked pretty fast

in the race to become a police state ur gonna catch up to the UK soon

Y'know I actually put the lighter down, pulled my large leather seat in, and read this, ....I pity you canadians, I really do.

Wow.. the US is already fucked up in it's own way. So shush about Canada. People are still going to copy games, and there is nothing they can do about it.
