Weird as it may sound, God’s Word instructs us to provoke.

Many years back while I was a fine arts student at the University of Houston, I had been considering God’s love for the Jewish nation, especially the passage in Romans 10:19 where Paul is teaching about God’s everlasting love for the Jews. In this context Paul quotes Moses, “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”

A “poster” style concept formed in my heart and mind that I felt might strike the Romans 10:19 chord with the Jewish students on campus. The intent of the poster was specifically designed to “provoke” Jews to the type of jealously Moses saw and Paul articulates. As a believer and a creative person, one has to be very careful about saying, “God told me to do this or that,” when sometimes it may be only our own creative ideas. One could place that in the category of “self works”. However, for me a worse pitfall is to disobey when you really believe He is directing.

I felt as if this was to be posted on campus during the Jewish Passover season. The poster was printed on a stark white paper. On it I designed a huge, red, bloodstain that was vivid, bold and clearly visible from a great distance. The red stain was placed over the top of a graphical lamb I drew. But the lamb was printed without ink. It was created in a technique known as “blind embossing”. From a distance the lamb could not be seen. As one drew near the bloodstain, the white lamb became clearly visible behind it.

There was a brief paragraph of copy about Christ being the Passover lamb under the art. This is because two verses before the Romans 10:19 passage Paul says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. “ (Rom. 10:17). The Word had to be on the poster to provide a resting place for their faith.

This poster design was used for various street evangelism events in later years. But for me, the first use was why I spent so much time creating it. One day I expect to hear who it was God was after during that Passover season.

May God bless you and the work He designed you for.

Exclusive: Rogers - We Won't Just Hand Customer Information Over to CRIA

A few days ago, we reported on the Bloc, one of Canada's federal political parties, wanting ISPs more liable for copyright infringement. Today, a spokesperson from Rogers Communications Inc., one of Canada's largest ISPs, spoke to us on the issue of ISP liability.

2005. It's a year, for some, is only yesterday. For others, 2005 represents a year that's a long time ago. Whatever the stance, for Canadians, 2005 was the year that could have started a massive lawsuit campaign by the Canadian Recording Industry Association that is similar to what is seen in the United States. There was just one key thing missing - customer information against the alleged file-sharers tied with an IP address.

What went on in the Canadian court room set the stage for what has been playing out in the political sphere ever since then - a major lobbying effort to change copyright laws. For some, changing copyright laws for the benefit of consumers has been a major priority - one example being the expansion of fair use. For the copyright industry, it has always seemed to have been a long fought effort to reverse what was ruled in the courts back in 2005.

A few days ago, we reported on how the Bloc, one of Canada's major political parties, wanted to change copyright laws to make ISPs more liable for copyright infringement. While for a few, it may seem like a crazy idea pulled out of the air, but on an international scale, it seems to fit fairly well with the industry movement to make ISPs play a greater roll on their networks against alleged copyright infringement. One example is seen in France where the president wants to implement a "three-strike" policy. In the United States, many ISPs have started implementing filtering technology to try and throttle users internet connections. One might be reminded of the Dutch ruling that said how BitTorrent tracker hosting is illegal in all of this. If you can't go after the users effectively, go after the people that keep the internet operating. Either way, it wouldn't be stretching the imagination too much by thinking this was inspired by things going on internationally.

For several months, many have seen the international copyright lobby as pushing through a thin-wedge through the anti-camcording law. After the bill was tabled, the thin wedge became more like an omni-bus to some. On the ISP front, it would put in force a notice-and-notice regime - a regime that is much more lax than the notice-and-takedown regime in the United States. Was it satisfactory, not according to the Bloc. While no specifics were mentioned, the Bloc is intent on making ISPs more liable for copyright infringement. So we asked the three largest Canadian ISPs what they thought about the Bloc's ideas and we have received a response from Rogers Communications Inc.

"As you say in your article, the current regime is 'notice and notice.' That means that the record companies send us a notice if they think one of our customers is stealing music and we pass the notice on to our customer." Jan Innes, Vice President of Communications at Rogers Communications Inc told ZeroPaid. "That is also the regime proposed in the new bill and we support that."

Back in 2005, Rogers pointed out during the CRIA discovery case that there were privacy implications involved when bringing up the idea that a third party could get a hold of private customer information based solely on an accusation against an IP address. Privacy has always been a sensitive issue in Canada. One could easily take into account that Canada has a privacy commissioner as a sign that private information of people is a serious issue in Canada. Has anything changed between then and now about these ideas from Rogers? That doesn't appear to be the case.
