The canadian government want to amend the Canadian copyright law with the bill C-61. While I agree that the old law was aging there’s no reason to make it that restrictive.
The bill goes against piracy, fair enough and good try. Now try to transform it, because digital sharing of electronic art, otherwise known as “piracy” has been around and will be for many years. Still DRM (digital right management) is a bad idea because it makes you dependent of one company selling you “content” that’s the worst side effect of DRM : vendor lock-in
Where I’m stuck is it will render a host of tools and method, often Open Source I’d say, illegals : Especially de-encryption tools and reverse engineering. Reverse engineering is important because it’s often the only way to brake the chains some software create around you.
