A Society For Rent, Not to Own

I find this horrifying, particularly the externsion that "the anti-circumvention rules would criminalize the ordinary behaviour of millions of Canadians, such as copying a CD onto an iPod or recording a television program for later viewing."  This type of possible law especially coming from a country where file-sharing has by and large been legal -- it's one of the reasons why we have a levy on recordable media.  I'm not for downloads of pirated copyrighted material, I'll be among the first to admit that it is indeed illegal, but I'd also defend the idea of "fair use" and I think the extremes of this reform is ultimately harmful.
