    "A plan proposed by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called the "Main Street Fairness Act," would create a national law that forces online retailers to start collecting sales taxes on purchases made over the Internet. Amounts will be based on each state's already existing sales tax rates."

      DRM as listed by Wikipedia: Digital rights management (DRM) is a generic term for access control technologies that can be used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals to try to impose limitations on the usage of digital content and devices. It is also, sometimes, disparagingly described as Digital Restrictions Management. The term is used to describe any technology which inhibits uses (legitimate or otherwise) of digital content that were not desired or foreseen by the content provider. The term generally doesn't refer to other forms of copy protection which can be circumvented without modifying the file or device, such as serial numbers or keyfiles. It can also refer to restrictions associated with specific instances of digital works or devices.
  • The Great White North is "fast gaining a reputation as a haven where technologically sophisticated international piracy organizations can operate with virtual impunity." The country is "virtually alone" in flouting "minimum world standards" for copyright and its rules are "hopelessly outdated." Finally, "no other country is farther behind the curve in combating copyright infringement in cyberspace."
  • The ability to circumvent DRM in order to make legal uses of the content?

      All Laws are subjective on a country to country basis, it's interesting that the Canadian governemnt doesn't view this type of thing as infringement.
  • It is not at all clear that this is actually the legal position in Canada; back in 2004, judge Konrad von Finckenstein ruled that "the downloading of a song for a person's private use does not constitute infringement." (von Finkenstein is now Canada's top telecoms regulator; his ruling was changed on appeal, though the issue remains murky.)
  • What really chaps the collective hide of the copyright groups is BitTorrent trackers, though, and the IIPA document refers multiple times to the fact that "4 of the top 10 illicit BitTorrent sites in the world" are in Canada.

    Finland passes law that says that Finland is a LEGAL RIGHT and NOT a privilege. Grants 1 MB/sec to each and every citizen. Article states "Most of us can no longer perform our work duties, do homework or communicate with friends without having access to the Internet" and "People need broadband connections to live normal lives, as Finland is the first nation to acknowledge".

  • drugs have been easily available to kids surfing the Internet.
  • Case in point: In February 2001, Ryan Haight, an A student and star tennis player from Laguna Beach, CA, died of an accidental overdose of Vicodin, Valium, and a trace of morphine. A doctor prescribed these drugs over the Internet, and a pharmacist filled them online. The 18-year-old had never met either one face-to-face.

Internet Sales Tax Fairness | The New Rules Project - 1 views

  • In a 1992 decision, Quill v. North Dakota, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that retailers are exempt from collecting sales taxes in states where they have no physical presence, such as a store, office, or warehouse.   (The legal term for this physical presence is "nexus.")    Although the case dealt with a catalog mail-order company, the ruling has subsequently been applied to all remote sellers, including online retailers. The Court said that requiring these companies to comply with the varied sales tax rules and regulations of 45 states and some 7,500 different local taxing jurisdictions would burden interstate commerce.

      Here's an article on the "U.S. Supreme Court ruling on online Internet sales in North Dakota."
  • In a 1992 decision, Quill v.

  • It disadvantages local businesses.  Exempting online retailers from having to collect sales tax, as regular stores must, gives these companies a 4 to 9 percent price advantage over local stores — a sizable competitive advantage in retailing.
