Life with Cash Refund – A money back guarantee annuity. Payout is made for life, but if death occurs prior to payments totaling at least the premium, then a lump sum cash payment is made. For example, if $100,000 is invested and payments of $1,000 per month are made for 5 years (60 months) and the annuitant dies, the beneficiaries will receive a lump sum of $40,000.

When millions of people can enjoy culture for free that leaves hundreds of millions of dollars in their pockets for other, more important things. And do not worry that this will be the end of culture. Music can now be professionally recorded, mixed and distibuted on any laptop. Top quality movie cameras are cheap, too. And writers, well, I for one am not getting paid for this. There is no way that there will ever be a shortage of intelligent expression now.

Bill C-32 is a bad law if it opens the door to spying on our Internet activities. If it means that only “signed” bands get to use the industry’s locks and lawyers. Or “mainstream” movies. If it changes the Internet to a place where having some information or software can ruin your life, and only approved culture and news is allowed through approved channels. Let’s not forget that fines imposed by the court are not dischargeable in bankruptcy here.

No, there is absolutely no need to “update” our laws to apply copyright to the Internet. This is an evil law by evil people and it must be stopped. They are the real thieves, stealing our rights, and our Internet.

The Internet IS peer-to-peer right now, and it is a copying device. Notice-and-notice remakes the network so that publishing is one-way, so the consumer peer is subservient to the publishing peer. This spells the beginning of the end of citizen journalism, of the great democratic promise of this network topography. Who will still be interested in going online when all of the mainstream media comes out of the set-top box instead? If we all had web sites of our own, instead of just web pages on social networking web sites, then we’d understand what these “radical extremist” business types are trying to steal from all of us.

If the anti-circumvention provisions were to be made contigent upon infringement, then the industry would have to prove that a particular copying was not covered by fair dealing, and they don’t even want to have to discuss fair dealing, let alone hash it out in court.
In effect, fair dealing will never be afforded the clarification and illumination that have traditionally come from the courts, because citizens will not be charged with copyright infringement anymore, but with the more serious, and easier to prosecute, anti-circumvention. Eventually fair dealing will dissapear as infringement, with its complicated exceptions, will no longer be pursued. It will instead be replaced by this new crime, anti-circumvention.
