Hopefully the House of Commons doesn’t vote Bill C-60 in its current form into existence. If that happens, cached pages on search engines like Google and Yahoo! would become illegal. Even the Internet Archive‘s thoroughly entertaining Wayback Machine would be illegal. What’s next? Storing cached pages and images from web browser sessions on your computer will get you tossed in the clink? Canada used to be seen as a leader in technology adoptation, but this would be a huge step backward. I hope somebody in Parliament fixes this bill before any out-of-touch politicians vote this through.
