The deadline for comments on Industry Canada's draft anti-spam
regulations
passed earlier this week with a group of 13 industry associations -
including the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Marketing
Association, the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association and
the Entertainment Software Association of Canada - submitting a lengthy
document that, if adopted, would gut much of the law. The groups adopt
radical
interpretations of the law to argue for massive new loopholes or for the
indefinite delay of several provisions. I will focus on some of the
submissions shortly, but this post focuses on the return of an issue
that was seemingly killed years ago: demands to permit surreptitious
surveillance by the copyright owners and other groups for private
enforcement purposes.
