A Sudden Outbreak of Common Sense

by Chris on Dec.10, 2007, under Events

Well, well.

Persuant to my post about the Canadian DMCA it appears that the legislation has been pulled and will not be enacted in its current form.

It’s hard to say why without the power of telepathy, but I would imagine that the widespread public outcry over the effects of the law can’t have hurt.

Sorry, the bill has been delayed, not withdrawn

An off-by-one error ... often occurs in computer programming when an iterative loop iterates one time too many or too few. Usually this problem arises when a programmer fails to take into account that a sequence starts at zero rather than one..., or makes mistakes such as using "is less than or equal to" where "is less than" should have been used in a comparison.
