criminal.<http://www.sffaudio.com/?p=3D2837>

But the really sad part, the part none of those young kids in the theatre
knew, the truly despicable part, is that poor Wall-E would be deemed a dirt=
y
copyright criminal under Canada's new copyright law. Bill C-61 would
criminalize much of Wally's behavior in the film. Now that's something to
really cry about!

Here's the evidence against WALL-E documented in the movie (**SPOILER
WARNING**):

1. WALL-E records audio from his favorite movie, Hello Dolly, putting in
onto his own digital recorder (bypassing the macrovision DRM on the tape). =
A
COPYRIGHT CRIME UNDER C-61

2. WALL-E archives the audio, he doesn't merely time-shift it. He listens
repeatedly! A COPYRIGHT CRIME UNDER C-61

3. WALL-E shares his DRM-broken music with his friend, another robot named
EVE. A COPYRIGHT CRIME UNDER C-61

4. WALL-E watches Hello Dolly on multiple evenings, on the screen of an
iPod. Hello Dolly is not available through the iTunes store, therefore he
broke the videocassette DRM when he platform shifted it. A COPYRIGHT CRIME
UNDER C-61
