Over the weekend, the Globe and Mail carried a piece<\/a> about copyright piracy and the movies. The article stimulated discussion from Michael Geist<\/a> and Rob Hyndman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll leave it to you to skip to their pieces. My contribution would be to also steer you to an interesting copyright case involving chocolate<\/a>. It seems that Kraft has been using its Canadian rights to the artwork on a label as a means to restrict a Quebec company that has been importing the same chocolate on its own and undercutting Kraft’s price.<\/p>\n

Can Kraft limit the ability of a company to sell chocolate that it has legally purchased in another country and imported it to Canada? Implications for DVDs, music, TVs, watches.<\/p>\n

It is another twist to add to the intellectual property debate. Globalization and free markets – what are reasonable limits?<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> [January 15, 9:15 am]
There is a report<\/a> that Swedish firm The Pirate Bay is considering purchasing its own country in order to escape international copyright agreements. The owner of Sealand, a former military platform 7 miles off the coast of England, declared independence in 1967 and won a favorable court ruling that Britain could not claim sovereignty.<\/p>\n
