"The agreement reached last month with the licensing agency includes provisions defining e-mailing hyperlinks as 
equivalent to photocopying a document"

I certainly hope that is some politicized hype printed in that article and not real.  That is absolutely idiotic on the 
face of it.  When I have seen stuff like this printed in the past it has generally been over the top catastrophizing of 
an issue in order to inflame emotions.  I sure hope that's the case here.  Otherwise my impression of Canadians has 
sunk to a new low.  Why would it be in anyone's interest to sign such an agreement?
