But what the current government, as well as what the old Liberal government are proposing would restrict copyright to what I consider the same level as the U.K. or maybe even put it in a worse position than the U.K. There have been provisions locking down rights, without giving any fair use rules, time shifting allowance, etc. So basically all the points being criticized in this article, were missing from the modern tabling of Canadian copyright. In that light, we are right to say that Canadian copyright would be moving backwards, not forwards through the proposed measures. Part of me questions the articles grasp of current U.S. copyright. Due to the DMCA, DRM can't be legally broken, so any copyright holder can basically undermine the fair use doctrine by placing DRM on a file. So basically the U.S. has far fewer rights than the article is making it seem. The current laws in Canada would probably be well viewed for the most part due to technicalities.
