Why wouldnt WMC be interested in changes to laws in Canada that reduce free cultural exchange? Michael Geist does a great job of explaining it. http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6225/125/ Canada is one of the last remaining bastians against the US-led IP reforms occurring across the world. normalising at 70pma isnt the objective. As soon as all major nations are 70pma, we'll see a higher number adopted by some countries, and the other nations will be forced to normal again, at a higher number. >From a copyright perspective, Canada *is* a better hosting location for Wikimedia projects (as opposed to US, at least). We should fight to protect that, so they have a good place to go if the US environment becomes a problem.
