An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian intellectual property's lead lobby group, the Canadian IP
Council
(which represent the music, movie, software and pharma industries)
released a new
policy document yesterday that identifies its legislative priorities
for the coming years. Anyone hoping that the SOPA protests, the
European backlash against ACTA, and the imminent passage of Canadian
copyright reform
might moderate the lobby group demands will be sorely disappointed.
Michael Geist says it is the most
extremist IP policy document ever released in Canada,
calling for the implementation of ACTA, SOPA-style rules including
website blocking and stopping search queries from resolving, liability
for advertisers and payment companies, massive surveillance at the
border and through delivery channels including searching through
individual packages without court
oversight, and spending hundreds of millions of tax dollars on private
enforcement."
