Carrying placards and wearing t-shirts with their message, opponents of Bill C-61, the proposed Canadian federal copyright regulations (also known as the Canadian DMCA) attended federal Industry minister Jim Prentice’s pancake breakfast held during the Calgary Stampede on Saturday.

The participants were using the rare opportunity of a public appearance by the Minister to try to convey their concerns with the Bill. They also took the opportunity to talk about the Bill with members of the public attending the free breakfast.

The event was promoted by the Calgary chapter of Fair Copyright for Canada.

If the pictures are on your computer, you can just upload them directly directly by clicking on the 'upload photos and video' button above - or you can click on the 'crowd power' button above and as long as your flickr account settings are set up on your 'accounts' page, you can grab them straight from your flickr account.

Here's some more information about that:

Grant, Thanks for taking time to write about the rally against the ill-conceived Bill C-61. Good stuff.
