The Stupidest Article in Today’s “Financial Post”…

…is A bill to save Kill Bill rights, written by Terence Corcoran, in defence of Bill C-61. Corcoran needs to be pummelled savagely with the clue bat many, many times.

I’m certain I will rant more later.

  • "Since when has corporate Hollywood become the evil crusher of creative talent?"

    Is that a trick question?

  • That column had me miffed too because I'm usually a big fan of Corcoran.

    In this case, I think he lets Michael Geist's followers cloud his thinking. Many of Geist's commenters seem to reflexively hate big business and think they're sticking to the man, hence the Trotskyite label.

    Remove the technology provisions, and this bill does not look so bad. I have no objection to copyright holders locking their content. I will avoid if all possible. That's how markets work. But if I buy it, don't make me criminal if I copy it to my iPod. That's insane.

    Let's just hope sanity returns and this bill gets amended to something more reasonable before it gets passed.

  • That was a well-written, balanced piece of nonclaptrap that never made me want to retch or beat the author with a clue by four

    ...with apologies to the simpsons writers
