Yesterday, Canada's Parliament rocked with a ferocious debate between NDP Member of Parliament Charlie Angus and Tory Minister of Industry Jim Prentice. At issue was Canada's new copyright law, Bill C61, the Canadian DMCA. Angus asked the Minister why he is granting legal protection to DRM, even when that DRM overrules the copyright freedoms being guaranteed under the bill. The Minister refused to answer the question — he just kept shouting that his law allows for backups and format-shifting, refusing to say anything about how the DRM rules make all those rights moot.
