I'm not really interested in that thing to be honest. |
My point was Canadians started to stand up for something, and between that website and the media attention, were able to have some change in the phone plans. |

Dude I love you, but that is just a very bad example that I don't even want to begin discussing it. |

Canadians don't make noise. We complain a little, but then bend over and take it right up the ing ass. |
this it totally true. i don't know why Chris Allen put that iphone thing there, but i'm talking about something bigger than ppl complaining about a dumb phone. I'm talking about governments making laws the more laws just to cover their asses. like if u do something u are classified as a terrorist. i can't think of any examples right now, but i hope u guys get what i mean |

| Simply put, the Iphone thing is a bad example because people are a lot more willing to complain about the actions of a company than the actions of their government. Also, on an individual level, consumers have a lot more power over companies than citizens over government policies. Apples and oranges, really. |

I understood your point, I'm not retarded ;)
There are plenty of times when Canadians have fought back, but yes in the general consensus we do as a society just roll over and take it. |

All they'll get on me are 8 GB of MP3s on my BlackBerry & another 8 on my 2-week-old Nokia N95-3, 16 GB on the HTC Advantage X7510, 2 GB of MP3s on my watch phone, 280 GB of MP3 on my laptop HDD & torrents running off the cell card till the laptop battery runs flat, 2 TB of FLAC & 1 TB of ISOs on my external HDD. ;-)
Nothing terrorism there. ;-) They'll be wasting their time & holding everyone up by searching me. ROFL
PS: Yes, I really do walk around with 4 high-end mobile phones every day, 2 of which have int'l SIMs roaming 24/7. :-D |

I'd be careful about their anti-piracy laws as well.
I'm sure if they find stolen intellectual property on your electronic device you could get some severe punishments.
It was that long ago where there was a law they were trying to pass a law to give the rights to custom cards to scan the hard drives of individuals for pirated software.
I wouldn't surprise me if M$ was working with the government on this lol

What happens if your entire drive(s) are encrypted & hidden via something like TrueCrypt (where entire volumes can be hidden inside normal files)? |

Who knows.
But if your computer is encrypted to that degree, they might wonder what you are trying to hide.
