As a consumer of digital media and electronics you stand to be greatly impacted by changes to Canada’s copyright regime. Fortunately, the Government wants to hear from consumers and creators alike so that the interests of all Canadians can be taken into account. Until September 13, 2009 you can participate in the recently launched government consultations on copyright by visiting www.copyrightconsultation.ca and registering for an upcoming townhall meeting, webcast or by making a submission via email.

If we do not voice our concerns en masse we run the risk of having a draconian system of copyright rules imposed upon us. Imagine living in a country where corporations dictate how you consume information and media and utilize technology. Canadians need to speak out against such proposals and push for greater flexibility in the law to provide a balanced, fair approach on digital reforms. To that end, Michael Geist has just launched www.speakoutoncopyright.ca. The site is designed to inform and help foster greater participation by bringing together online discussion (ie. the Twitter #copycon stream), postings, videos, news reports, etc.

The Canadian Coalition for Electronic Rights has also updated its letter wizard allowing you to easily submit your concerns in both official languages directly to the government copyright consultations as well as those minsters responsible for modernizing Canada’s Copyright Act.

The all new M3i Zero offers support for NDS, NDS Lite, and the new DSi. More importantly the M3i Zero supports firmware flashing to protect your investment against any future DSi system updates. Another great benefit to the M3i Zero is the fact it comes with M3 in house media player. This media player just like the main menu interface is extremely pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate, you will be able to play your DPG videos and MP3’s with ease.

There is also a couple of other added software features that come with the Sakura O/S that runs on the M3i Zero including a PDA style organizer which has a date calendar, calculator and more. The M3i Zero is also backwards compatible, so if you are currently the owner of an older DS or DS Lite and wish to have a flash card to use now, but also know you will be upgrading to a DSi in the near future, the M3i Zero will work just fine in your older DS or DS Lite until you make the upgrade to the DSi console, this way you don’t have to buy a new flash card when you do upgrade to the DSi.
