eldurbarn writes "According to this CBC article, "Canada has joined Russia and China as the biggest violators of U.S. copyright law, according to the U.S.-based International Intellectual Property Alliance."
The story goes on to say that, "The group's report is the latest to urge the U.S. government into pressuring Ottawa to reform copyright laws." As previouslyreportedon Slashdot, the current Conservative government had planned to introduce a new copyright law, but dissent from the privacy commissioner and a groundswell of public protestdelayed that action.
What makes this story so important, now, is that this pressure is being applied at a time and in a manner that may force the Canadian government to fall, forcing an election."
