Canadian DMCA is Coming

thumbs.jpgIt is now more than a year since the threat of new copyright legislation hit the headlines. The word out now is that the Conservatives are about to introduce new ‘Shock and Awe’ copyright legislation. The details of this legislation are expected to be introduced on Tuesday December 11.
The specifics of the new legislation are not known. Indications are that it will include severe restrictions on Freedom of Expression. The new law is expected to make it illegal to circumvent DRM (Digital locks) even where the user has a legal right to content. This will make it even more restrictive than the draconian American DMCA legislation. It is speculated that the new legislation will have no new rights for users whatsoever. This will have a profound and devastating effect on artists who use appropriation, particularily Media artists.
