[13:46] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[21:35] <CPhoenix> Phew…quieter in here. Anyone know if Canonical is going to release Ubuntu TV in Canada?
[21:35] <CPhoenix> Because if bill C-11 gets passed…we're screwed.
[21:54] <pangolin> ubuntu tv is open source and it will be up to the "partner manufacturers" to decide where they will/can sell the tv.
[21:55] <pangolin> Don't know what bill C-11 is but I am not to happy with the idea of being screwed without my consent
[22:11] <dscassel> C-11 is the new copyright bill before the House. Think DMCA. http://c11.ca/
[22:12] <dscassel> (That sight's maintained, incidentally, by free software friend, Russel McCormand).
[22:12] <dscassel> er, site.
[22:13] <dscassel> Also, er, Russell McOrmond. He's on the ubuntu-ca mailing list.
[23:41] <CPhoenix> dscassel: Well, DMCA at least made some allowances for consumer use, no?
[23:42] <CPhoenix> This is more like…"ARRRRR, you can never copyyyyyyyyy!!!" No format or time shifting (moving to an iPod, recording something to watch later), and worse, it'd be a criminal offence to do so.
