Stricter copyright laws will only work to hurt competition. Canada should work to foster home-grown talent to make Canadian stories and art desired on global markets. In order to do that, Canadians need to be free(er) to create without fear of lawsuits and injunctions from foreign copyright holders. Canada's creative voice is increasingly in the hands of foreign corporations, serving their foreign needs instead of Canada's.

Reforming Canada's copyright law the way the Conservative Party and industry lobbyists want would do more harm to competition than good.
