There you go. Protest the CanDMCA bill on Dec. 18th outside Queen's Park.
Tech Bytes: Copyright reform stokes the fires
The anger over the government's proposed copyright reform bill is palpable and it is astounding that it's something normally staid Canadians are getting worked up about.Just take a look at the growth of a Facebook protest group (I'd link to it but you need to log in) started just over a week ago - when I checked this morning, it had just under 15,000 members. As of this writing, it's up past 16,000. In fact, 50 people have joined in the 15 minutes it took me to write this post. That's incredible and, if the group keeps growing at this pace, it's going to be very difficult for the government to introduce the bill it had planned.
Some group members are even planning to attend a protest outside Queen's Park in Toronto on December 18. So far the protest seems to be a very small grassroots movement with only about a dozen or so confirmed attendees, but you never know - if public anger is really as strong as it appears, the protest could easily snowball into something major.
