Canadian Gov't Grants Olympics Ownership of Winter.
An anonymous reader writes "Michael Geist reports that the Canadian government has introduced new legislation that grants Vancouver Olympic organizers broad powers to police the use of any commercial use of the words associated with the Olympics.
These incredibly include 'winter, Vancouver, and games.' As Geist
notes, the government 'has no time to deal with spam, spyware, privacy,
or net neutrality, but commits to legislation on behalf of the
organizers of a sporting event?'" [Slashdot: Your Rights Online]
