Submission + - "Canadian DMCA" copyright bill dead again

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Saturday March 26, 2011 @08:24AM

An anonymous reader writes: Like some kind of B-movie horror series, the latest attempt to revise Canada's copyright law and introduce DMCA-like provisions, Bill C-32, has again died on the order table as Canada's minority goverment has fallen after a non-confidence vote.

We can be confident that some kind of DMCA-style copyright bill will be resurrected, but it will have to wait for the next government sequel.

However, they arrive at empty inboxes: No custom folders, no messages in "Sent" or "Deleted," nothing. As one might expect, the abruptness (and unexpectedness) of the purge has left some of Hotmail's long-time users a bit in the dark.'"
