We continue our series on the Canadian DMCA by comparing the previous legislation under the Liberal government to the new legislation under the Conservative government. In this segment, we compare anti-circumvention legislation - a controversial provision in both bill C-60 and bill C-61.

Previously in our series:
Actual Text - Damages - $500 - $20,000
Actual Text - Music - Sony Rootkit Legalized

We are switching our focus a little on our series in this segment. While the previous entries focuses primarily on the text of the current legislation, this segment focuses on the legislation that is in front of Canadians today and the legislation of the previous government. Michael Geist also offers two series on the text of the bill, one entitled 'A Week in the Life of the Canadian DMCA' and '61 Reforms to C-61'.
