If you are Canadian and want to protest your country's adoption of a DMCA-style copyright bill and its participation in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, then you might want to visit the [URL=http://academicalism.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/tweet-size-letters-against-canadas-dmca-acta/]Academicalism Blog[/URL] for some Twitter style messages to your elected officials.

Naturally the messages are your standard 140 characters long and will fit on a postcard - which you can mail for free in Canada to James Moore (Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages) and Tony Clement (Minister of Industry). Here's what those tweets look like:

[INDENT]I oppose any IP bill that includes strong digital lock provisions, excludes flexible fair dealing protections, & ignores public consultation

I oppose Canada’s secretive and undemocratic participation in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), and I also oppose ACTA itself. [/INDENT]While these tweets are "geek chic," they will probably just confuse Canadian politicians, who probably think a "tweet" is the sound a Brown Booby might make.
