I took notes, but it'll take a little while to transcribe them. I took some video of the copyright/beholden-to-big-content questions aimed at Sam Bulte, and wow, did she get testy. She even mentioned Michael Geist and the Electronic frontier Foundation by name, in that "they're part of my personal demonology" tone of voice. I'll post it as soon as I can.

"The Liberal MP for Parkdale is having a fundraiser at the Drake Hotel for a group of music industry (etc.) leaders on January 19, next Thursday. The Drake is located at 1150 Queen St. W.
There's been talk of holding some kind of protest and I'm all for it.
Here's the gig:
We all dress up as pirates and we mass in front of the Drake, neither obstructing the business of the establishment or the patrons. There are no intelligible responses beyond YAARRRRR, ARRRR, etc. 'cos we're making a visual statement, not great copy.
Here's an article with more details.

If you're up for it, let me know. We have a week to get it together. You can respond here or e-mail me at malejested@pious.org."
and, in unrelated news, kickass this sunday.
respectfully,

Quite frankly I've given donations to candidates (but not Bulte), and I liked the fact that I didn't have to go through a back ground check to do so.
Did these 5 people simply identify themselves using only their names?
It's a moot point for me. Bill C-60's broadly protects TPMs and she said she would not be beholden to the interests of the EFF... which last time I checked, represents what people want.
PS: I'm the guy in the blue shirt with the red cup. Thanks for taking my pic, and welcome back to the neighbourhood.
