The act will allow Canadians to record television, radio and internet broadcasts and listen to or view them later on whatever device they choose but not for the purposes of building up a library or for commercial use.
That specifically is the new infringement on our rights.

Actually - THIS law looks considerably better thought out than anything put forth in the USA so far! And much less "draconian"!
Not from what I heard Bayfia at least the digital locks part of it.

I find it very draconian Bayfia. Its just phrases so it appears to secure our rights.

Totally agree.. much better then the US for the time being, but it's just one stepping stone, on a seemingly short path..
