		<description>Take a look at Goodreads, a blog by Timothy Comeau. He&#039;s posted a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.ca/?p=808&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Letter to my MP&lt;/a&gt;, in which he offers a good critique of the government&#039;s bill. Here&#039;s an excerpt related to blogging:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I very much object to the idea - introduced in the bill - that posting
copyrighted material online (specifically pictures) could make one a
criminal. This would have a serious effect on blogging, where it has
become normal to re-post images copied from the source. In fact, it is
often used as a mean to link to the original source. And blogging is
one of the examples of the transformative effect the net has had on
our culture â¦ a vibrant arena for debate, discussion, and the
dissemination of new knowledge. To make any part of its culture
illegal would be equivalent to introducing limits to the freedom of
expression, or - in 20th Century language - to interfere with the
freedom of the press.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
