Tool of the Day
Who is this Terence Corcoran from the Financial Post? Does he have a clue as to what he is talking about? The Canadian version of the US DMCA is a joke as far as common sense. The Sony Rootkit is a perfect example of what can happen when companies run unchecked, and consumer interests are ignored.
If the iTune you download can only be used on your iPod, that’s an assault on your rights.”
This sentence is a joke. If I buy a CD today, I can listen to it on my home stereo, or on my computer, and in my car or at a friends house. With the DRM Mr. Corcoran is advocating with his sentence, would limit me to just one location. How is this better for the consumer, and how can he defend this?
His stance on net-neutrality also looks like he is owned by the Telecom companies. When the Telecom companies can dictate what we get from the internet and what will be censored, then it will be too late. We need to ensure that Net Neutrality is a reality. Maybe when his column is not available to anyone because the Telecom companies have decided to not deliver it since it is critical of them and he does not get paid, maybe then he will realize why we are trying to stand up for Net Neutrality.
