James Moore may deny calling opponents of copyright reform "radical extremists" but here's the video. In fairness, he's trying to argue that the bill strikes a middle ground. But it does not, argue opponents (including me). As Linda Murray writes, "Putting [locks] on a pedestal and giving them all the power really overwhelms everything else they've done," she says. "The way they've treated [digital rights management] gives it too much power for anyone to say there's balance." And Moore's own rhetoric has changed a lot - in a direction directly contrary to the bulk of the public consultation. CBC notes that the copyright debate has turned ugly. And Copyfight doesn't pull any punches.
