Tech Companies Say Don't Blame Canada For Copyright Problems 104

An anonymous reader writes "The Computer & Communications Industry Association, which includes a who's-who of the tech world, including Microsoft, Google, T-Mobile, Fujitsu, AMD, eBay, Intuit, Oracle, and Yahoo, has issued a strong defense of current Canadian copyright law, arguing that the US is wrong to place Canada on the annual Special 301 list. The submission argues that the US should not criticize Canada for not implementing anti-circumvention rules (PDF) and warns against using the Special 301 process to 'remake the world in the image of the DMCA.'"

The difference is that a non accredited "Joe's College" degree is a misrepresentation of the facts - the person with that degree has not completed the learning or training to actually deserve the degree. At best, this is a lie, and at worst, if it's a medical or engineering degree, it represents a danger to society.

How does permitting the existance of a state of marriage between two people who have chosen each other affect anyone other than those two people, in any way that could be considered a misrepresentation or a danger to society?

(Also, taking your argument to an extreme would mean that the gvmt. would investigate the 'fitness' of the two people to decide if it's ok to marry... What's next? Childbearing certificiation?)
