IP group wants Canada shut down

A US intellectual property pressure group has called on the US government to declare Canada a member of the IP Axis of Evil, alongside China, Russia and Belize.

The group has complained to the US government, accusing the Canadians of failing to deliver on a promised overhaul of copyright laws and a policing crackdown.

The group which includes members such as Microsoft, Apple and Paramount Pictures feels that the Government needed to "ratchet this up" as the Canadian government doesn't seem to take this very seriously.

The IIPA thinks that putting Canada on the "priority watch list" next to Belize, Venezuela, China, Turkey, Indonesia, Ukraine and Russia will do the trick.
