  Subj: Tell MPs What's Wrong with the Prentice

 After months of hesitation, Industry Minister Jim Prentice has finally 
 revealed his re-write of Canada's rules of copyright. As expected, the bill 
 contains major concessions to the American entertainment industry. 
 Prentice's bill forbids Canadians from engaging in ordinary practices such 
 as ripping DVDs onto video iPods, unlocking digital phones for use with a 
 competitor's services, and paves the road for US-style consumer lawsuits for 
 file-sharing. Tell your MP to represent you in the forthcoming copyright 
 debate, and stop Prentice from steamrolling a bill that's worse than 
 America's DMCA through Parliament without listening to Canadian voices.
