As was expected<\/a>, Canadian MP Charlie Angus has introduced a bill that would expand Canada’s “you must be a criminal” blank media tax (they prefer “levy,” but it’s a tax) to iPods and other media players. However, to “balance” that out, he’s also proposing a change to copyright law that would make Canada’s “fair dealing” laws more flexible<\/a>. Expanding fair dealing is definitely a necessary and important move, but it seems unfortunate that it appears to be coupled with this idea of taxing people just because they might make use of unauthorized content.<\/p>\n
