I'm just trying to be optimistic.  I'd like to hope that Canadian law makers, whatever their poticial stripe, would listen to their own artists above multinational corporation owners. 

Okay, so when I say it like that perhaps I am the one who is being naive...]]>

Which is why I said it was cool, and I'm glad they're out there and having their say and I applaud them for it.  So, I'm not being defeatist.  But I'm also being realistic.  Copyright changes may be on the agenda, but I highly doubt the opinions of these artists will be taken into consideration.  Am I being too cynical here?]]>

Hey, I'm as un-Tory as anybody, but thinking any government isn't doing things that aren't making the front page is just cynical and naive.  Copyright changes ARE on the agenda of Bev Oda (Heritage minister) as Steve Page pointed out in the press conference (at about 15 minutes into the podcast), so for artists to just sit back and say "well, this stupid government can't possibly care about us" is defeatist.  The laws are going to change at some point, these guys are saying what they think is in their best interest as some of the real creators of Canadian music.

Saying "this government sucks so I'm not sticking up for what I believe" just seems dumb to me.  These guys are doing the right thing.]]>

By "Steven Harper", I meant "The Steven Harper government", and I highly doubt they care either.  They're too busy with important things like censoring footage of dead Canadian troops coming home under a fully raised flag.  Y'know, important stuff.]]>

Well it's really the ministers of industry and heritage they are targeting.  I'm sure Harper himself doesn't care but the people in those positions should.]]>
