If you were lucky enough to get a video iPod for Christmas, you might be looking for content to try it out. You might want to try Podtropolis which has pre-formatted movies, TV shows and music videos. You need a utility than can handle torrents like BitTorrent or uTorrent and downloading copyright material is, as we all know, illegal in most jurisdictions. You’re on your own here.
So the Ontario Provincial government is looking to pass legislation that would enable the Premier to declare an emergency and give himself broad powers including the right to force healthworkers to stay on the job and restrict travel. Of course, this is all predicated on the Avian Flu scare.
Though it’s reasonable to accept these restrictions given this particular possibility, I’m much more worried about the next crisis. Who is setting the criteria here? Any law that gives the government the ability to curtail the peoples’ individual rights must be clearly written so that the definition of an “emergency” is not open to the whim of the ruling party.
