An anonymous reader writes "'The U.S. government just concluded a consultation
on whether it should support Canada's entry into the Trans Pacific
Partnership negotiations.' The TPP raises significant concerns
about extension of copyright and digital locks, so that might be a good
thing. However, Michael Geist reports
that the IIPA, which represents the major
movie, music, and software lobby associations, sees this as an
opportunity to force Canada to enact a Canadian DMCA and to implement
ACTA."

Not to worry. The Harper Government will be harmonizing and modernizing our domestic law to ensure strong economic partnerships with our key allies and provide a strong and vibrant economic landscape.
