This is an OLP OFFICIAL POSITION. It does not have enough meat, to stand on it's own as a plank. In certain circles, these are important issues, but in others they don't get mentioned. It should have our Official Position, supporting arguments, and references. An "Our Plan" which is some form of an actionable pathfoward is necessary in order for it to be approved. One line to "end" any debate, is suggested.

Keep It Free:The Internet

The Ontario Libertarian Party believes the internet is one of the greatest uncorrupted resources on our planet. We will do everything in our power to defend the freedom from any ridiculous proposed regulations.

Copyright challenges become an issue, when information is treated like property. The Ontario Libertarian party believes information should be treated like any other property, thus any accusations of theft be handled like similar to other thefts. The legal system already has a court system in place to process thieves. Other stakeholders like internet service providers, search engines, and hosting companies should not be forced into any burden, or worse held accountable, for any trespass resulting in copyright infringement claims. The internet should stay free, and unencumbered.

This document is in preparation. It will stay here, until a preparer nominates it for approval by changing the "InPreparation" tag to "NominatedForApproval"
